 UNIX
application programming requires a mastery of system-level services.
Making sense of the many functions-more than 1,100 functions in the
current UNIX specification-is a daunting task, so for years programmers
have turned to Advanced UNIX Programming for its clear, expert advice
on how to use the key functions reliably.
An enormous number of
changes have taken place in the UNIX environment since the landmark
first edition. In Advanced UNIX Programming, Second Edition, UNIX
pioneer Marc J. Rochkind brings the book fully up to date, with
all-new, comprehensive coverage including:
POSIX
Solaris™
Linux®
FreeBSD
Darwin, the Mac™ OS X kernel
And more than 200 new system calls
Posted by Alexander Arkander  This book focuses on the additional Unix commands that an advanced user or beginning system administrator needs to know in order to administer and maintain a Unix system. The book includes coverage of the key Unix variations: Red Hat Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and Apple's Mac OS X environment. The book will not be a comprehensive solution to all problems facing new system administrators, but instead is a tutorial introduction to the process of learning about and maintaining a running Unix server.
 Master the smooth operation of your UNIX and Cisco network architectures and get
the most out of both
- Learn how to design, build, and administer integrated gateway routing systems
- Identify the advantages and disadvantages of Cisco/UNIX integrated systems
- Understand concepts with lab exercises that provide real-world implementation
guides
- Identify Cisco-exclusive features that improve Cisco-UNIX network integration
efficiency
Integrated Cisco and UNIX Network Architectures shows how Cisco routers, switches,
and firewalls work together with UNIX operating systems in an integrated routing/networking
environment. This book reveals not just the feasibility, but also the desirability
and strengths of Cisco/UNIX integrated routing with regards to systems integration
and feature requirements. Detailed, progressively complex lab scenarios emphasize
enterprise and ISP requirements, casting light on the similarities and differences
of these two worlds, forwarding and signaling issues and a comparison of the
UNIX network stacks and standard compliance with Cisco IOS.Part I lays the foundation, covering routing software, operating system features,
kernel requirements, Layer-2 issues and gateway interfaces. Part II covers the
heart of Cisco-UNIX routing by discussing the important concepts of integrated
dynamic routing, including the UNIX routing table. Advanced concepts are tackled
in Part III, beginning with a discussion of tunnels and VPNs and gradually emphasizing
high availability, NAT, bandwidth management, policy routing, and multicast
architectures. This book also offers a guide to those features that are best
built exclusively with Cisco equipment.
Covering all major platforms-Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows-this guide shows programmers and power users how to customize an operating system, automate commands, and simplify administration tasks using shell scripts
Offers complete shell-scripting instructions, robust code examples, and full scripts for OS customization
Covers shells as a user interface, basic scripting techniques, script editing and debugging, graphing data, and simplifying administrative tasks
In addition to Unix and Linux scripting, the book covers the latest Windows scripting techniques and offers a complete tutorial on Mac OS X scripting, including detailed coverage of mobile file systems, legacy applications, Mac text editors, video captures, and the Mac OS X Open Scripting Architecture The title of this book invites comment. "Some things weren't meant for
dummies and Unix is one of them," you might say. Wrong! Levine and
Young take advantage of the Dummies format's strength with command-line
operating systems. They flatten the learning curve and have even the
greenest beginner doing useful work with Unix in mere hours. Once
you get past a couple of pointless chapters about offering pizza to
Unix experts in exchange for help, you'll find conceptual explanations
of files, directories, permissions, and redirection. Command
explanations take a hybrid form; they mix "type this verbatim"
statements with tables showing switches and parameters. Much of Unix for Dummies
is task-oriented. You'll find a whole chapter on printing, for example,
that covers the commands you'll need to know to format and print a
document on the right printer. Other chapters cover file searches,
software installation, and X Windows navigation. The book also provides
cursory coverage of four text editors--ED, vi, Emacs, and pico--but you
learn little more than how to enter and save text in each.
