It may sound trite to say it but
$man ksh
Usually does the trick. Shell programming is rarely complex enough that you
need anything other then the man pages.
I've often wondered why a system level language like C, can be covered in
such a short volume (K&R C) when you can see books on shell scripting that
could equal the bible in verbosity...
I am assuming you have some programming experience however. If not.. the
best volume on actual programming (and surprisingly relevant to shell
scripting) is:
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Abelson & Sussman
ISBN: 0-262-51087-1
MIT Press
Bit dry in places... but worth persevering.
Hope thats more help than it sounds... :-)
Cheers
Simon
