Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Looking for ksh programming documentation Post 82880 by odashe on Wednesday 7th of September 2005 11:16:03 AM

It always pays to read man pages: man ksh. This will be your reference for future, but it is not an easy way to learn scripting.
I can suggest either of these:

Rosenblatt, Bill "Learning the Korn Shell"

Rosenberg, Barry "Hands-on KornShell Programming"

I know there are many other books on shell scripting. I learned from these two.

Also "Unix Power Tools" by Powers, Peek, O'Reily & Loukides has several chapters about scripting.
