Someone told me the other day to learn shell script programming if I am trying to get into computer security so that I can automate processes and such, so i was wondering what book you guys and gals would suggest to learn shell script, there are alot of books out there on alot of subjects and I have learned most of them suck

There are two that come to mind:

'The Korn Shell' by David Korn and Morris Bolsky

'Learning the Bash Shell' O'Reilly

Oh, and also, source codes for the Korn Shell and for the Bash shell
are available for download --do a web search-- you might want to read
those, too.

Also look at the Advanced bash Scripting Guide.
