Do you have /some/ programming experience? Then you should start with
reading the manual pages for bash, ksh or sh (depending on which shell
is available). The command for that is "man sh". I/O redirection ia part
of the shell's job (and done with < and >).
cmp, diff and grep are great tools. Read their manpages too. And awk is
a simple and efficient programming language for making reports. (python,
perl and tcl are other commonly used scripting languages).
