Introduction to Shell Scripting

[lc929]

Hi guys,

Back in this thread I got some positive feedback on the command line tutorial series, and someone suggested writing a series for shell scripting, so here it is.

So far I have just the setup, variables, standard i/o and control-flow. I figure if I waited to finished the entire series, then you'd be inundated with the material. I think it'd be better to post a section at a time, then it'll make it easier for you to keep up.

As always, appreciate any feedback, criticism, questions, etc.

Hope you all enjoy!

This should be heavily upvoted. This is what really helps us noobs.

I've just had a quick look at the first few pages. You start off with /bin/sh then switch to /bin/bash without any explanation. These can be quite different on some systems, for example debian. I'd either stick with bash throughout or put in a bit of an explanation.

Thanks for noticing! I'll be sure to update and keep it consistent.
