Do you have an UNIX shell programming reference books? There is a tremendous value to reading the first few chapters on syntax, variables and other shell script constructs... .especially pipes and filters. Using chains of filters by 'piping' the output of one command into the input of another is a very powerful construct. When you understand this construct (the use of the little "|" pipe) your shell-life gets much easier.

I am writing a shell script which will check the status of a resource in a cluster and then display nicely to a user running the script at command line.
Basically the script runs a status command and then pulls certain keywords from the return and then should display a concise status.

NAME
aemakeflic - produce an animation from an aewan document
SYNOPSIS
aemakeflic [-f {less|sh}] [-N] [-b] [-d <delay>] input.ae [outputfile.ext]
DESCRIPTION
This utility will make an ascii animation out of an aewan document. It can currently produce animations in two formats: a shellscript
which, when executed, will display the animation and a "less movie" intended to be "played" on the very popular 'less' output pager -- that
is, the user will see the animation as he pages down through the file in an appropriate window size.
Each layer in the aewan document is interpreted as one frame of the animation. Layer transparency and compositing are not used: each layer
becomes a frame.
OPTIONS
-f specifies output format - can "sh" for a shellscript or "less" for a "less movie"
-N omit the initial instructions that are normally included in the resulting file. The instructions will orient the user as to how to
play the file.
-b disables output of color (only characters will be printed).
-d delay
specifies the delay between frames (for shellscript only), given in milliseconds.
