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

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.

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 --

1. VMS shell under Unix (was: Re: why learn UNIX)
Robert,
Someone has. At the Fall DEXPO in San Francisco, Convex (the
makers of a Unix mini-supercomputer) showed their VMS environment
running on their C-1 machine. (It looked like all it consisted of was
a bunch of aliases and shell scripts.) It complements their VAX/VMS
FORTRAN (source-code) compatible extended compiler. I'm sure their
reason for doing this was to attract the FORTRAN-coding engineers who
have grown used to VMS and its compiler but could really use the extra
speed the C-1 could give them.
Comment: It may not be ideologically pure, but the
combination of an inexpensive fast machine, a familiar-feeling FORTRAN
development environment, as well as access to all those nice Unix
software development aids *must* be commercially attractive in some
quarters.
