Not very clear what you want, is it how to write pseudocode, that can be then transcribed easily to shell script? The difficult part is when you will be using sed or awk...

You mean, a script which can resume from a point? We get asked this a lot.

Last time I suggested a script like this:

Code:
STEP=0

[ -f /tmp/stepfile ] && read STEP < /tmp/stepfile

while true
do
        # Init section -- set up variables and stuff #
        ##############################
        # Resume happens here

        case "$STEP" in
        0)      first_program_statement
                ;;
        1)      second_program_statement
                ;;
        *)      echo "Finished all statements -- all done" >&2
                break
                ;;
        esac

        if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]
        then
                 echo "Failure on step $STEP" >&2
                 exit 1
        fi
        let STEP=STEP+1
        echo "$STEP" > /tmp/stepfile
done

echo "all done" >&2
rm -f /tmp/stepfile

This depends on first_program_statement, second_program_statement, etc leaving a useful return code in $? so be careful not to run statements after it which mess it up. (Before is okay.) Also remember that variables aren't saved between executions.

Hmm, I think the OP is looking for a curriculum vitae to apply for a shell scripting job.
In case I'm right this link may help.

Oh. In that case:

Where exactly are you intending to apply, for what? Shell scripting isn't generally a career in its own right, but it's a useful talent for system administration.

hello Corona,

Yes i know Shell scripting is an additional asset for a sys admin but i also heard some companies do recruit only shell scripters. thats why i asked. i want to mention few keywords which can show i do shell scripting too. i have 8 yrs of total exp in IT but now trying my hands in sys admin field but mentioning shell scripting as an extra skill will enhance and put some weightage in my curriculum Vitae is what i hope. So please guide me.

-Regards
Walter
