Firstly, I'd follow Adrien's advice and 'emerge abs-guide'. It's a great guide for learning bash scripting. As far as naming conventions go, the following is a very small list of what I can think of off the top of my head. I do not know of any docs that list naming conventions for shell scripting. - global variables should be all caps while local variables should be all lowercase - *DO NOT* use '-' as a separator for identifiers. While bash supports it (when not invoked in posix mode), most shells do not. For example instead of naming a function 'foo-bar()', use 'foo_bar()' instead. HTH - -- BOFH Excuse #191: Just type 'mv * /dev/null'.
