i need to write scripts in aix. i haven't tried writing one. where should i start?

thanks,
 
If you are going to use the Korn Shell I would pick up the O'Reilly handbook "Learning the Korn Shell," and likewise if you are going to use AWK, get the O'Reilly handbook "Sed & Awk." Another good book on shell programming is "Unix Shell Programming" by Arthur Burns by Wiley Publishers.
 
All are good places to start, just adding one more possibility here:
UNIX Shell programming by Stephen G. Kochan and Patrick H. Wood
This is not specific to AIX, but takes a progressive step by step look into the basics of shell scripting. No AWK or SED, but that is not something you should lightly jump into starting out.
