There are a few tutorials out there, but I haven't seen any really good or 'complete' ones online. (There may be some, but from memory I don't remember finding any). If you're going to use Bash, give the O'Reilly 'Learning the Bash Shell' book a shot. Another one that does cover other shells is called either 'Unix Shells' or 'Unix Scripting' (don't recall which and it's at work..), which was published 2003 IIRC. Scott
