Very Computer

I am a newbie in Unix. I would like to learn about unix shell
programming.
Can anyone propose me a good ftp or web site that summarizes the
basics in a well-presented way of the unix shell programming (for
downloading..) ?

Thanks in advance.

Lordy, there must be thousands.

If you look at scripts you already use, you can pick up a lot.  Reading
this newgroup regularly is also illuminating.

You will probably find something that suits you in this collection of
links: http://www.shelldorado.com/links/

Beyond that, read, and try to understand, the many examples on any
*nix system and in the collections accessible from the above link.

Then practice writing your own scripts (including modifying existing
scripts). Don't start with a major project; write small scripts or
functions to do specific tasks. These can be incorporated into larger
scripts.

If you have specific questions, or run into problems, post the
unco-operative code here and you'll get lots of help.

And all in different places, with no common index -- until recently.
I recently gave Heiner Steven, the maintainer of "ShellDorado,"
all of my bookmarks to online shell scripting resources, archives,
and tutorials, to complement his own. The best use of your time is
looking there second:

www.shelldorado.com (looks under "links")

I say "second" because you _obviously_ performed a 'Web search for
"shell" and "tutorial" to find these yourself, right? All the sites
at shelldorado would be hits in even the most cursory search --
but we've done most of the work for you in selecting the best ones.
