UNIX Hints and Hacks Review by turtlex
Great for the Jr. to Mid-Level Admin - Lots of tricks here.
I'm the admin for a primarily HP-UX 10.20 shop ( yes, we'e upgrading to 11.0 soon ) and I find this book quite helpful. It's not an introductory guide or a basic book - it's definitely for the UNIX "tricks" that might not be readily known.
I usually pick it up if a user stumps me with a "can I?" or "how can I?" type of question. It's like a mentor in a book form. I haven't found any of these items in the standard documentation.
For instance, ever wonder how to direct a users temporary area away from /var so if they vi a huge file /var doesn't fill...those type of things are here. Tricks and hints..hacks if you will.
It's a very helpful book.
Best Regards, turtlex.
