Think like the experts: The powerful Bash shell provides a comprehensive collection of utilities for configuring and troubleshooting Linux systems.

Before the icons, menus, and wobbly windows of the modern Linux user environment, users managed and interacted with their systems from the command line. Many advanced users still prefer to work from the keyboard, and many will tell you that exploring the command-line environment is the best way to build a deeper understanding of Linux.

The Linux Shell Handbook is a thorough primer on the Bourne Again Shell (Bash) environment found on most Linux systems. You’ll learn to navigate, manipulate text, work with regular expressions, and customize your Bash settings. We’ll show you shell utilities for configuring hardware, setting up users and groups, managing processes, and installing software – and we’ll even help you get started creating your own Bash scripts to automate recurring tasks. Keep the Linux Shell Handbook beside your computer as a permanent desktop reference on the world of the terminal window.

Do you take care of a network – large or small? Are you the one the users call when they have problems with email or can’t reach a website? Are you embroiled in questions of how to subdivide and when to virtualize? Do you keep watch over a server farm? Do you patrol the perimeter, managing firewall configurations and looking for gaps that would let an intruder inside? Are you the one who answers to the suits, bridging the technical divide between the server room and the board room with
practical advice on where to go and how to grow in the changing world of information technology?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, look inside. Admin: Network and Security is all about the real world of system administration. You’ll find detailed, practical articles on topics such as security, network monitoring, clustering, and troubleshooting – for admins who manage Windows, Linux, Unix, and Solaris systems in heterogeneous environments.

We’ll show you how to rescue lost systems with Knoppix. We’ll tell you about spam on IP phone connections, show you how to save configuration time with a Linux-based software appliance, and describe the innovative Open-Solaris Zones virtualization environment.
