This one is pretty good (Apple's Shell Scripting Primer):

The Advanced Bash Scripting Guide is also pretty goood:
http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

... but remember to always use $! /bin/sh (avoid bash) because that make scripts bash dependant while good scripts are POSIX sh compilant and really cross platform. Also bash only options are not good enought to stick to them, all of this can be done in POSIX sh in very similar way.
