i just started this great job at BMC software in Houston as a Software test Engineer, it has been a cake walk so far, now i am required to test some unix Scripts, running the scripts is not bad, actually that is all i am supposed to do, but i also want to understand the code and may be become a developer in the future, i am afraid to ask my co workers or my Manager to explain it to me, or they would think they hired a moron, HELP, is there a book on this or an internet site.

It really depends on what shell the scripts are written for. The first line of most shell scripts will usually be
#!/usr/bin/{shell name}
where shell name will be something like bash or csh.
Do a search for that on your favorite search engine and you should find a lot of sites, you should also be able to run the command : "man {shell name}" to get a lot of info as well, but some of it may be pretty technical.

Check out O'Riely books, They produce a number of books that can get you up to speed on Unix scripting.

What are the scripts written in? There are many flavors of scripting tools available for Unix.
