I would suggest that instead of "jumping" to scripting straightaway try to get a grep(read grip!) of things in unix -the very basics .

Good luck;-)

Or you could spend $20. and some change and get this book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846

which I think is a great book for a beginner to UNIX because it takes you from your first login to some pretty advanced shell scripting --teaching you tons of good commands along the way. I think you'd get a lot out of this if you're willing to work through some frustration.
