An Introduction to the C shell   (package: csh)
C shell tutorial The C shell was originally written at UCB to overcome limitations in the Bourne shell. Its flexibility and comfort (at that time) quickly made it the shell of choice until more advanced shells like ksh, bash, zsh or tcsh appeared. Most of the latter incorporate features original to csh.
This is a step-by-step tutorial on interactive use of the C shell. It is mainly of historical interest.

Bash3 Reference Manual   (package: bash3-doc)
Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input or from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh).

esh: the easy shell   (package: esh)
esh was primarily written out of a need for a simple and lightweight shell for Unix. As such, it deviates completely from all of the traditional shells, opting instead for a Lisp-like syntax. This allows exceptionally small size, both in terms of lines of code and memory consumption, while retaining remarkable flexibility and programmability.
