Résumé
Written by best-selling author Mark G. Sobell, A
Practical Guide to Solaris enables both novice and
experienced users to quickly learn Sun Microsystems'
popular Solaris operating system. Designed to maximize
accessibility, the book is divided into three parts. Part I
is a tutorial that brings novice users--those with no
UNIX/Solaris background, or no programming experience at
all--quickly up to speed. Part II is geared toward
intermediate and advanced users. Part III is a
comprehensive reference guide covering more than ninety
Solaris utilities with a clarity of explanation and range
of examples not available from any other source.
A Practical Guide to Solaris provides invaluable
information on the following:
- Solaris 7 (a.k.a. Solaris 2.7), as well as Solaris
2.6 and earlier versions for Intel and SPARC hardware.
For beginning and experienced end users and C and shell
programmers using either a command line or GUI
interface.
- Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). Learning and
using the X Window System and the CDE and OpenLook desktop
managers. Offers extensive discussions of CDE and X
customization.
- Networking, the Internet, and the World Wide
Web. Explains what a network is, how it works, and how
you can use it. Discusses types of networks, network
implementations, distributed computing, how to use the
network for communicating with other users, and using
various networking utilities (such as rcp, telnet, ftp,
nslookup, and more).
- Shells. Describes how to use the Bourne (sh), C
(csh), and Korn (ksh) Shells as interactive command
interpreters and as programming languages so you can write
shell scripts. Extensive coverage of builtin commands,
shell variables, options, customization, functions, and
programming techniques.
- System Administration. Covers system operation
from SPARC PROM mode/booting an Intel x86 through multiuser
mode; types of files, including
- symbolic links and special files; adding and removing
users, printers, devices and drivers; installing software,
sharing and backing up filesystems, network services,
system reports (sar, iostat, and more) and admintool;
installing patches and system software; and problem
solving.
- Programming Tools and Concepts. Covers both the
Solaris (cc) and GNU (gcc) C compilers, debugging (lint and
gcc warnings), shared libraries, make, SCCS, and
more.
These essential topics are presented in a clear, easy-to-understand format with the help of the following:
- Examples. Both interactive and shell script
examples are used throughout Parts I and II to provide
added insight into Solaris features. Part III includes
examples of more than ninety Solaris utilities.
- Tutorials. Step-by-step tutorials cover the vi,
dtpad (CDE), and textedit (OpenLook) text editors; the
dtmail (CDE), mailtool (OpenLook), and pine mail programs;
the pine and Netscape newsreaders; the Netscape browser;
and how to use a search engine. All tutorials are
illustrated with real-world examples so you can practice as
you read.
- Appendixes and Glossary. These cover regular
expressions, POSIX standards, and security. The Help!
appendix provides assistance on using your hardware and for
locating, downloading, and installing Sun, public, and GNU
software (including gzip and gcc).
- A Web site (www.sobell.com).
Maintained by the author, this site provides help in
locating Solaris documentation, software, patches, and free
items, as well as corrections to, and downloadable examples
