I am currently reading this "book" (it is a PDF file), it was the response to a question I asked earlier. It explains all the basic commands, the WHY of your shells working and how to write your own scripts, as well as tons of other stuff. I am finding it to be well written and easy to understand. Hope thats the kinda thing you where looking for. Good luck!
MTK358: i got an assignment from my teacher to write my own shell which should work similar to bash shell of linux. it should
perform the tasks feed as commands, if command is not valid, it should show invalid command.

You mean it has to validate if the commands exist and, if they do, it has to use bash to run them? Presumably it is not required to check the syntax of the commands ... ? Does it have to service bash builtins and aliases or only externals? Did your teacher say which language you can do this in?

Read the OP's post more carefully:

For a really simple shell you could for every line just separate the command by spaces and pass them to the command as arguments. But a full-featured shell like bash is pretty much a primitive programming language interpreter.
