Scripts

I have never written scripts and would like to know where I can find information on script writing for beginners. I've been told that Unix is a good starting point. Can anyone give me an idea of where I can find info for a beginner?

Thanks

These kind of similar questions have been answered many times.

So, search the unix.com forums and u will get a lot of information.

GW01,

These two links should get you started. This first talks about UNIX shells, and the second contains numerous shell scripting resources (links).
