Advanced Bash-Scripting HOWTO

A guide to shell scripting, using Bash

Mendel Cooper

v0.2, 30 October 2000

This is a major update on version 0.1. -- a couple of bugs fixed, plus much additional material and more example scripts added.

This document is both a tutorial and a reference on shell scripting with Bash. It assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation. Still, it is a work in progress. The intention is to add much supplementary material in future updates to this HOWTO, so that it will gradually evolve into an LDP "guide", i.e., a complete book.
