Very Computer

Hello All,
I am looking for a good book on bash and was wondering
whether you could suggest one. The book must start with
the very basics and proceed to advanced point. Those
who have access to `The UNIX C Shell Field Guide' by
Gail Anderson and Paul Anderson might have an idea
exactly what I am looking for.

Sorry for the cross posting, and thanks in advance.

Reply via email will be appreciated.

Regards,

Masroor

'Learning the Bash Shell' by Cameron Newham and Bill Rosenblatt (O'Reilly
& Associates, 1995; ISBN 1-56592-147-X) is quite a good book (despite
having the occasional error). It starts from basics like the file
hierarchy, changing directory, wildcards, command line editing and
goes on to discuss shell programming to a reasonably advanced level.

The best book I've seen is the Nutshell book on Bash... covers just
about everything you'd want to nkow...
