Some things you might be interested in getting started.

The main shell in Linux is bash so presumably you mainly want to learn bash shell scripting.
At its simplest scripting is just taking the lines you run at a command line and putting them into a file then adding the execute bit to the file with chmod. Of course for more complicated scripting you need more but just being able to do that will save you a lot of time. Anyway doing a google for: Quote:
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ Going through a few of its sections it seems it may be a good tutorial. (Don't let the title of "Advanced" throw you off. It starts with Basics.) |

You've already got all the free online links that I would have given.
Also consider an O'Reilly book called "Classic shell scripting"--or something like that. Will be in any decent-sized bookstore---or Amazon. |
Thanks a lot ....
those links where really helpful , i read some of it and it looks for me that the idea is simple but the implementations and the posibilities are endless ... i guess that's something very important to work on .... need a lot of hours to get familiar with.... thanks a lot ...

That one helped me out a lot, shows some purposes for writing the scripts and a step by step process of doing so. Keep working at it, it eventually clicks and then it is second nature. |
