Using UNIX

Using Unix is designed to meet the reader s needs by focusing on the problems and concerns of the beginning to intermediate Unix user. This book will focus on the System V and Solaris flavors of Unix. The majority of Unix books are geared toward the administrator. They often have a separate section for each command, such as grep, sed, awk, etc. That type of format makes it difficult for the reader to know where to look to find an answer to a particular question, and creates a book that has very little value for the end-user. Using Unix will fill this hole in the current marketplace by meeting the needs of the end-user with a task-based reference they can count on. The effective use of cross-references and index aliases found in the Using series makes it easy for the reader to find the information they need quickly, even when they are not sure what to look for.Many UNIX books are geared toward the administrator. Using Unix is aimed at the end-userThis book will have a truly innovative task oriented structure, rather than the traditional (and difficult to use) one command-per-section structureThis complete reference will show the reader how to manage and use their System V and Solaris systems productively
