Unix Hints & Hacks covers the science and art of Unix system administration comprehensively. While the title implies that this is how-to recipe book for running and maintaining Unix machines - and you will find a lot of shell trickery detailed here - there is so much more to this book than commands and procedures. Many of the Unix Hints & Hacks contains obvious solution to problems that arise in a Unix machine. (Waingrow include AT & T-and BSD-derivative kernels, along with several shells.) For each of the situations he covers, such as in passages like "Moving and Renaming Files Group" and "Troubleshooting ASCII Terminals," presents Waingrow a handful of solutions and explains scenarios in which each works best. Coverage includes user administration, file management, networking, resource monitoring, and security. On top of its technical scope, Waingrow including generally ignored insights regarding human side of system administration.
