Hey, all.
I want to write a script. (Actually, I want to write lots of scripts, but I should probably start with just one:) I download many web pages for off line reading. Frequently, the information that I want from a site is spread over multiple pages; a multi-page thread is an example of this. I would like my script to automatically download all the related pages of a chosen subject.
My first questions: it seems to me that this is a task that's suited to a browser add-on. Is that conclusion accurate?
Second question: can an add-on be written in bash?
Third question: if an add-on cannot be written in bash, can this task be performed by a separate bash script?
I suspect that this isn't an unusual idea and that I can find such a script/add-on. However, I need a first project.
I've played with the command line; I'm comfortable running programs from a terminal and modifying the file system from the terminal. (I appreciate the GUI now.) And, by the end of this coming week, I'll be comfortable compiling. I've also written lots of html for a couple simple websites if that matters.
Help me, please.
Is there a good scripting tutorial for beginners?

No idea about browser add-ons but maybe these scripts will be a good place to start with regards to downloading multi-page threads.

Hi circularL7; There are web site downloaders, but I don`t know of any specific ones.
Here`s a Bash tutorial: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
It`s a multi-page setup, a good test bed for any code you write.

To install the bash manual quickly I have made a pet package
