Hi all, can anyone recommend a good book/learning resource for .sh scripting, as I want to take what I have learned from the python/perl modules and use it on my unix (like) systems.

thanks.

Python and Perl are both more reliably cross-platform and more powerful than shell scripts. I'd stick with one of those (I'm a Pythonista, personally).

I am enjoying all 3, but I personally find scripts easier EG: for automating file transfer between servers/machines over ssh (because I already know the shell commands and just need to chain/string them together to automate them)

But am still learning to call the commands from Python and Perl and enjoying every minute. :)

O'Reilly's Bash Cookbook is a good resource.
