I have been using Linux for several years however I have never been comfortable in the bash shell to create shell scripts to automate things that I generally have to do manually. Basically bash is not something that is hard to learn from what I see but I generally like to read books and learn from a complete novice stand point (which I am) to avoid learning bad techniques and so forth. Can you guys please help recommend any bash shell books that will give me easy to follow guides from simple scripts I can write in 5 minutes to eventually being more complex w/ loops and other things I have no concept of now.
So far I was just looking at O'Reilly Bash and UNIX Shell Scripting 2nd Edition
If you guys have any suggestions /recommendations, please let me know!
