New to it all, But i wanna script really badly!!!

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Ok, im brand new to this whole thing, well nearly, but all i wanna know and do is scripting, WHAT DO I DO?!:confused:

I would suggest that instead of "jumping" to scripting straightaway try to get a grep(read grip!) of things in unix -the very basics .

Good luck;-)

take a look at tldp.org

Or you could spend $20. and some change and get this book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672324903/qid=1088908241/sr=8-1/ref=pd\_ka_1/102-2031894-8468946?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

which I think is a great book for a beginner to UNIX because it takes you from your first login to some pretty advanced shell scripting --teaching you tons of good commands along the way. I think you'd get a lot out of this if you're willing to work through some frustration.
