Is there any sites out there that have examples of things they want you to go and script for practice? I have looked around but have came up empty handed. I have been writing scripts for things I need on my nix box but have am wanting more challenging things to keep me learning. I would prefer to keep working with Korn shell but any help with this topic is appreciated. 🙂

I have seen these tutorials. What I am looking for is more like when a teacher gives an assignment in a class to write a script and then go do it. Is there anything that you know of that is out there like this? Thanks
