I am working as a linux adminstrator and I want to learn shell scripting which helps me for day to day administration.
I want to know about the good books / links for shell scripting for system adminstrators.
I recently acquired a book, "Linux Shell Script Programming"
its very useful. Supplied by Thomson course technology
I also came acroos a few PDF's which were helpful
I am presently working through "Mastering UNIX Shell Scripting: Bash, Bourne and Korn Shell Scripting for Programmers, System Administrators, and Unix Gurus, Second Edition" (2008), authored by Randal K. Michael and published by Wiley Publishing Inc. (ISBN: 978-0-470-18301-4).
This text contains many excellent scripts for automating system administration tasks.
