And for actual shell programming, I guess the bash man file has some info, but maybe someone else can give a better reference? since man files can be rather intimidating at first, especially when they have the length and layout of the bash man file ;)

Depends on which shell you favour of course ..

For bash, the "Bash Reference Manual" is friendlier, and provides a bit more background, than the 'man' pages do. Exists as HTML or PDF in numerous locations. Latest version is Edition 3.0 (27 July 2004).

As far as tutorials go, the "Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide", by Mendell Cooper, is _very_ comprehensive. You can download the latest SGML/HTML from the author's site here,

or view it online / download it in various other formats, at the LDP, here:

(There are other good bash guides and HowTo's on the LDP page too ..)
