I've been using the O'Reilly books "Learning the Korn Shell" and "Learning the Bash Shell". For years I've been trying to replace them with another reference, without much luck. I have annotated my dead-tree copies with the differences between them. Many paragraphs are identical between the two.
Haven't been using them as much as I did in my first sh-scripting years, so maybe not searching as vigorously as I might. Most striking difference between ksh and bash is how/when the ENV script (kshrc and bashrc) is sourced in, and what script sourcing is automatic vs explicit. Always confusing when switching between them. I started with csh for my command shell, but wrote my scripts with sh. Wish Perl had been more available at the time; the scripts would have been much easier to write (and read). --Don Ellis On Sun, Jun 10, 2012 at 4:58 PM, Ben Raber <[email protected]> wrote: > I love autocd you just type the name of a directory and it will change into > it for you. > ________________________________________ > From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Robert > Citek [[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, June 08, 2012 6:36 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [cwelug] Which Shell Is Right for You?
