we have the Korn Shell book and Ive read about 2/3s of it. Im not a total newbie to Unix. Syntax is syntax is syntax. No big deal there and I can ask someone. What speeds up the learning curve are design pattern stuff.

ie A piped to B does C examples, its not always obvious at first. Or here are some generic scripts that do XYZ. I have alot of work to do and need a fast forward. Unix isn't all Im gonna do. Thanks though.

Anyone know any good websites with lots of scripting examples? Yes I can search google, but Id rather not hunt through 30 of them to find one I like. Any that you like? Since this isnt a Unix first spot, Id think that many of you find it easier to canabalize Unix code. Received on Wed Apr 16 2003 - 16:59:11 CDT
