			Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide

		A complete guide to shell scripting, using Bash

			Mendel Cooper - Brindlesoft

			thegrendel@theriver.com


This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but
progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction
(...all the while sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore). It
serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source
of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-
commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that
the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts.

The guide is availabe at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
