text: where do i get more informations about writing a script in linux? i have to write this script using linux and i don't know how to do it. i have some few tips on how to do it but they are not helping much. if anyone knows where i can get more information please answer me. hi! what kind of script? if you are talking about shelll script, perl script, php script, cgi or other, then it's pretty simple if you have linux on your computer. it has useful examples and advanced help. use commands as: man or info. you can also use your browser for reading man pages. if you don't have linux, why don't you try www.redhat.com?
