Linux Scripts
I'm pretty new to the world of linux, so no flames please.

I know there is a plethora of info out on the internet about writing scripts for linux, but few give actual examples.
I need some help with learning the basics of writing some simple scripts to learn the difference between windows and linux.

For example, creating a script that produces a text file with a listing of the directory that you are at, and a script that copies all of the files in the directory to another directory, also how to embed your name or other info in the program.

I know these are the basics, but I really want to learn.

And yes, I did read the rules before I posted this, and they are not homework questions. I learn better by example, and what better place than a forum.

pdebuild-user-mode-linux

pdebuild-user-mode-linux(1)					     pbuilder					       pdebuild-user-mode-linux(1)

NAME

       pdebuild-user-mode-linux - pbuilder-user-mode-linux way of doing debuild

SYNOPSIS

       pdebuild-user-mode-linux [pdebuild-user-mode-linux options] -- [pbuilder-user-mode-linux options]

DESCRIPTION

       A  convenience  program	for  pbuilder-user-mode-linux which invokes pbuilder after obtaining appropriate root privilege in a Debian source
       directory.  One must be inside the source tree containing the debian directory, in order to make it work.

PDEBUILD OPTIONS

       --buildsourceroot [fakeroot]
	      The command used to gain root privilege for invoking dpkg-buildpackage

       --auto-debsign

	      Invoke debsign at the end of pdebuild process.

       --debsign-k [key-id]

	      Pass -k option to debsign to specify which keyid to sign.

       --buildresult [Directory for build results]

	      The place which build result is stored.

       --configfile [Extra config file to use]

	      The configuration file is used, but not passed on to pbuilder-user-mode-linux.

       --debbuildopts [options to pass to dpkg-buildpackage]

	      The space-delimited list of options are passed to dpkg-buildpackage.  This option appends to pbuilder option --debbuildopts and  may
	      also be used to reset the list of options by passing the empty string.

       --use-pdebuild-internal
	      Uses a different implementation of pdebuild, which calls clean and build inside the chroot, using bind-mounts.

	      pdebuild-internal tries to run debian/rules clean inside the chroot.  To achieve the goal, the working directory is passed on inside
	      the chroot, in the form of bind-mounting and debuild is run.

	      This option will not protect the working directory and its parent directories from the build scripts.

       -- [pbuilder options]

	      After the -- symbol, an arbitrary number of pbuilder options can be specified.  See  pbuilder-user-mode-linux.1  for  full  list	of
	      options.

	      There is an exception that --buildresult needs to be specified as pdebuild option before the -- to be effective.

FILES

       /etc/pbuilderrc
	      The configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux.

       /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc
	      The default configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux.

       ${HOME}/.pbuilderrc
	      Configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux, overrides what is written in /etc/pbuilderrc
