Jamie:
If you're a migrant from Windows, you can think of a bash script as sort
of a batch file on heavy steroids. It's usually covered in those $40
books (Mastering..., ...Unleased, Using...); in fact there are a number
of texts devoted to this subject -- O'Reilly is an excellent source. You
could start with the bash programming How-To; it should be on your
desktop under Documentation.
You've now exhausted my expertise on the subject.
Regards,
Carroll
