As it is, I'm still leaning heavily towards it being spam and certainly have no intention of clicking on that link. Maybe if you provided some context... Ed.

Maybe if you > provided some context... oops, sorry for my rudeness. i thought that everybody knew it as a starting point for bash learning, and i did not think of it being spam, since it is hosted at the linux documentation project site. but anyways, it is "Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide An in-depth exploration of the art of shell scripting by Mendel Cooper", or the second hit google spits off with "learn bash scripting" as query. the first hit is on the same website (BASH Programming - Introduction HOW-TO). really you thought i was spamming? bye

I've never heard of that web site Never heard of TLDP?!? Wow, I am so old! TLDP is The Linux Documentation Project. It has been around for many years, replacing the old linuxdoc.org domain. For more history check out http://tldp.org/history.html The aforementioned Advanced Bash Scripting Guide is, IIRC, not linux-specific, so is potentially appropriate for comp.unix.shell. > and your post had the > look and feel of many spam postings where it just gives a link to a site and > says something brief like "Check this out." or "What do you think?". I felt the same, and had I not known about TLDP would have reacted similarly. Providing real context can be very helpful to those not familiar with a given web site. --keith -- kkeller-usenet(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information |
