Hello,
Can someone point me to a good on-line reference for Bourne shell
scripting? I've come across some syntax I don't understand and, since
I don't understand it, don't know how to search the web for it.
I found these in my bookmarks...

Mostly I use "Unix Shells by Example" by Ellie Quigley.
For example, what do these special variable characters do?
${UNISON_SCHED%% *} # what does %% * do?
${UNISON_JOB%\.*} # what does %\.* do?
