There are many Shells and many scripts
You will need to start somewhere. This “Mastering UNIX Shell Scripting by Randy Michael” gives a fair introduction to the subject.
Some scripters will find this too comprehensive and need to supplement it with other reading. Others will find this too fundamental but occasionally there is a good idea that was not thought of.
Some people just need a guide to help them get off the ground fast. No matter what category you are in this is an excellent reference for your library

Serendipitous:
What I'm looking for I'm finding here.
Chapter 1 is worth very worth reading in _detail_.
Little 'notice' paragraph in the 'Check the result code' section
worth reading 2 or 3 times.

Almost everyone says that they can write shell scripts. Well they're doing it wrong most of the time. This book can help fix that.
