Odd. Somehow your bash query raised at least one eyebrow, while the daily emacs Q & A has yet to be flagged. Anyhow, you need to absorb a man page or two, or three (bash, sh, ksh...) in order to learn bash scripting. However, I'd suggest avoiding shell scripts for the most part (admittedly, there are circumstances where this is not possible or practical). Rather, I'd suggest that you thoroughly learn Perl and Expect and do most of your scripting with them.
