Résumé
Automating UNIX and Linux Administration will focus on automating the tedious daily tasks of system administration. It will provide real-world examples and explore the existing tools that will help with this task. Although the book will provide brief overviews of tools and technologies that are covered, Bauer assumes the reader knows how to edit a configuration file or mount a file system. The book will focus on putting the tools to use in the real world (i.e. how to use a set of Perl scripts to manage your user accounts across 1000 machines). It will not show you how to write a "Hello World" program in Perl nor contain a Perl function reference or summary.
The techniques, methods, and tools covered in this book will provide help on a single system, but will be much more useful across multiple systems. Whether managing 2 or 5,000 systems, whether they're desktops, servers, or a Beowulf cluster, they will benefit from this type of automation. Although some of the book will be Linux-specific, most of it will apply to any UNIX system. It will also focus on automating tasks across multiple variants of UNIX.

L'auteur - Kirk Bauer
Kirk Bauer has been using computers and programming
since 1985. He has been using and administering UNIX
systems since 1994. Although his personal favorite UNIX
variant is Linux, he has administered everything from
FreeBSD to Solaris, AIX, and IRIX.
Kirk has been involved with software development and
system/network administration since his first year at
Georgia Tech. He has done work for the Georgia Tech
Residential Network, the Georgia Tech Research Institute,
and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Kirk was one
of the founders and the CTO of TogetherWeb in 2000, which
was purchased in 2003 by Proficient Systems. Kirk is
currently a software architect with Proficient Systems and
continues to support and develop the collaborative browsing
software and Linux-based network appliance created by
TogetherWeb.
Kirk's latest development is a fully automated
installation, configuration, management, and monitoring
system that is used to deploy Proficient's software on RLX
ServerBlades. Saving time through automation has always
been his passion, as evidenced by his collection of
open-source software—the most popular being AutoRPM
and Logwatch. Shortly after graduating from Georgia Tech in
2001 with a bachelor's of science in Computer Engineering,
Kirk married Amber, the love of his life. They currently
live in Peoria, AZ with their two dogs and four cats.
