An Introduction to the Unix Shell

Bourne Shell Programming
Steve Bourne, wrote the Bourne shell which appeared in the Seventh Edition Bell Labs Research version of Unix.
Many other shells have been written; this particular tutorial concentrates on the Bourne and the Bourne Again shells.
Other shells include the Korn Shell (ksh), the C Shell (csh), and variations such as tcsh.
This tutorial does not cover those shells. Maybe a future version will cover ksh; I do not intend to write a tutorial for csh, as csh programming is considered harmful. external link
