I am looking for a good 'Shell Programming' book for some of our users. I would like something that covers basics to hardcore shell programming, both Bourne and C shells. Anyone have a favorite book? If response is overwhelming, I'll summarize to the net..... -- john salmi {ihnp4,mgnetp}!dicomed!john

I have written two books: A Programmer's Guide to UNIX System V and A Programmer's Guide to the XENIX system, along with Rebecca Thomas and Jean Yates, due out in the next few months from Osborne/McGraw-Hill. In those books, I have devoted 2 of 9 chapters to Bourne and C Shell Programming. I think that they address real-world problems and appear to meet your requirements. Unfortunately, they aren't out yet but should be soon. Give then a look when they do. Thanks.
