I am not sure what you are wanting to do but hamlib and the serial port would work there so you could test stuff like that.<br><br>There are a lot of Linux books. I would guess Linux for dummies would be a good one. Keep in mind that the dummies books are usually well written and not really for dummies.<br><br>Everyone learns differently. I find the Internet and google searches for a specific topic very helpful. Say I am writing a bash script and I forget how a specific command like while or do are used. I would google 'Linux bash loops'<br><br>Also learning from looking at already written scripts is often a good idea.<br><br>Remember if you write a script in an editor and save it you first have to make it executable to run it. Also for security reasons Linux will not allow you to run a program or script in the current directory directly.<br><br>Making it executable - chmod 750 somescript<br><br>Executing it in the current directory - ./somescript<br><br>Also don't hesitate to ask for help. <br id="FontBreak"></font><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2015 16:07:55 -0400<br>From: N1XBM@amsat.org<br>To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>Subject: [arm-allstar] Scripts<br><br><p dir="ltr">I'd like to try my hand at writting scripts.
