[colug-432] Soliciting January meeting ideas: Shell Scripting

[Keith Larson]

I think that modifying somebody else's script more challenging.
 
I just recently had to so a complete re-write to incorporate stuff that someone else contributed.  It was very difficult to find the right thing to search for just to get info on the source command.  Fortunately, I was able to describe what I wanted to accomplish and several people responded (from a different list) with the correct command to do it.  It is very hard to do on your own without guidance from more experienced people.

What kind of a presentation would be helpful toward
demystifying shell scripting? 

    A tutorial?
    Explanation of specific cryptic things? 

Which is more trouble? Making your own new scripts 
or understanding or modifying somebody else's scripts?
