For multiple reasons I am moving away from doing everything in perl/php for server based tasks. Made sense at the time to do everything in the language we used for the web as well, but am finding I do less web work and more server admin work as time progreses, and there are some significant hits to loading perl or php each time I want to move files and do other such tasks. As such I am finding more and more tasks being performed in plain ol shell scripting, thousgh this is still a hunt and peck type of operation fr the appropriate commands etc...
As such, am looking for recommendations for a good guide/book or two for shell programming, but most of the books seem to be specific to bash, tcsh, ksh, etc... Given that there is a seperate bash shell port available, I would assume that /bin/sh != bash. I would prefer to use plain ol /bin/sh since most of the core scripts scattered through the stable installs we have use it. Sugestions? Amazon links?
