Folks,

I'm looking for a good Shell Scripting book to learn shell scripting. I have programming experience and need to transfer those skills into the shell environment, any suggestions.

Thanks,

StickyBit.

I like "Unix Shell Programming" by Lowell Jay Arthur and Ted Burns. It has LOTS of examples and provides comprehensive coverage for Bourne, Korn, C, and BASH shells. It should handle most of the questions you have.

As far as I'm concerned the best book is still The UNIX Programming Environment by Kernighan & Pike.
It's the classic text.
