New Unix System Administration Guide Offers Superior Guidance in One Handy
Volume

While many books on Unix devote just a few chapters to system
administration, authors Levi Reiss and Joseph Radin target the special
needs of system administrators working with Unix System V and BSD Systems
in their newly published book, Unix System Administration Guide ($34.95,
ISBN: 0-07-881951-2, 640 pages).

Since Reiss and Radin assume that learning to master scripts is an
essential part of a system administrator's training, they've created a
hands-on guide providing extensive C language programs and shell scripts
in almost every chapter. All shell scripts and programs were tested under
both System V and BSD Unix, with the scripts written in Korn shell, Bourne
shell, and C shell. A unique feature of the book are the test scripts
covering all system administration functions. System administrators will
find valuable source code for single-user microcomputer versions of Unix
and for multi-user systems, including code for adding and removing users,
and much more.

Beginning users will find a valuable overview of Unix with easy-to-follow
explanations of individual commands and scripts. All Unix users will find
that the book's command reference in the Appendix is ideal for finding any
Unix command in a hurry.

For anyone working with Unix, this single volume is the only reference
needed for mastering system administration.
