Hi,
I'm using the interoperability microsoft provides as a tool to use unix commands on a Windows 2000 environment.
Although I have the means to write scripts, I have no good books for REAL Beginners like myself. I would appreciate if anyone could help me find a well wwritten book along with good examples and assignments.

Hi:
This is the best book for learning shell programming:
Unix Shell Programming, 3rd edition by Stephen Kochan, Patrick Wood SAMS Publishing, 2003 ISBN: 0672324903
Make sure you get the 3rd edition. Of course, it's just my opinion.
Regards,
Nails
