UNIX end-users desperately need an up-to-date reference guide with real depth: one that teaches UNIX commands rather than just listing them. In UNIX User's Guide, Second Edition, best-selling UNIX author Marty Poniatowski covers every topic UNIX users need to master, with clarity and real-world examples. This thoroughly updated book will serve the needs of any UNIX user -- whether they are working with Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, or any other leading platform. In this Second Edition, Poniatowski provides even faster, easier access to information, while adding extensive coverage of key UNIX tasks and tools. This book covers virtually every skill end-users need to have. Coverage includes: login, mail, file management, end-user system administration commands, the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), built-in tools, and much more. Poniatowski reviews key options for UNIX/Windows interoperability, including NFS, Samba, X Windows, and POSIX commands. He presents the fundamentals of shell programming with Bash, Korn, and C; introductions to powerful Unix tools such as grep, sed, and awk; key vi skills; and the basics of development with C, C++, and Java. The book's accompanying CD-ROM includes GlancePlus performance management trialware, X Window-based CBT software, and a new UNIX CBT training module.
