Hi all,
I'm starting to learn bash scripting from beginning to advanced level. I'm looking for good resources or tutorial for it.
Where should I start? what are the best resources to learn it?
Maybe you could start by looking at those links.
I like this really short tutorial on how to do some simple bash scripting. This may help getting you started or explaining a few simple concepts differently than the other post.
http://www.bashguru.com/2009/11/how-to-pass-arguments-to-shell-script.html
Here's another more extensive tutorial for beginners: http://linuxconfig.org/bash-scripting-tutorial
A quick guide: http://www.panix.com/~elflord/unix/bash-tute.html
Slightly more extensive beginners handbook on shell/bash: http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/
Another one, I look frequently in unix school for my needs.
If you're not familiar with the command line then a good place to start is:
http://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/
Then head on over to:
http://ryanstutorials.net/bash-scripting-tutorial/
for a more thorough look at scripting.
I like Learning the bash shell from O'Reilly Press and use it whenever I teach Unix.

First of all build strong foundation for your Linux administration skills. Once you get sound knowledge on that, refer different online and offline text books on Linux. If you want to build skills in Linux administration skills refer this link - http://www.kerneltraining.com/linux-admin-training/
For those writing their first bash script, the tutorial Basic shell scripting gives you two sample DNA and protein files and takes you step by step through constructing a script for telling whether a file contains DNA or protein. You start with a very simple script that prints the contents of a file, and incrementally add steps and get them to work, until you have a final working script.
