Organization

Part I starts with a tutorial on "Finding Your Way Around UNIX." Robert and Rachel Sartin, Jeff Smith, Rick Rummel, Pete Holsberg, Ron Dippold and Dave Taylor give an introduction to operating systems. In Part I, you will find a step-by-step tutorial on how to log on the UNIX system and how to do some basic commands. There is also a complete introduction to all the file listing commands, file tools, and editing text files. You will also find a quick guide to navigating the network and methods to communicate with other systems on your network.

In Part II, "Hunt for Shells," Rick Rummel and John Valley teach you how to develop shell scripts for the Bourne Shell, Korn Shell, and C Shell.

In Part III, "Programming," Ann Marshall, David Till, and James Armstrong teach you how to program awk and Perl and how to use the UNIX C compiler.

In Part IV, "Process Control," Robert and Rachel Sartin give you an introduction to how to control your programs on UNIX. Here you find how to start a job (program) and how to kill it.

In Part V, "Text Formatting and Printing," James Armstrong and Susan Peppard give instruction on how to use these powerful macros, and how to create text with graphs, pictures, equations, etc. Learn how to create man pages and how to print postscript.

In Part VI, "Advanced File Utilities," Robert and Rachel Sartin and S. Lee Henry teach you how to put your programs or text into version control, how to back up and archive your work for protection against hard disk crashes, and more.

In Part VII, "System Administration," Sydney Weinstein, Chris Negus, Scott Parker, Ron Rose, Salim Douba, Jeff Smith, and James Armstrong teach the basics of UNIX System Administration.

Foreword

Given life by Turing Award winning Bell Labs computer scientist Ken Thompson at Murray Hill, N.J., in August 1969, UNIX spent its early years as a research curiosity. When I met up with Unix in the summer of '82, however, it already possessed the one characteristic that destined it to dominate a major chunk of the world's market for operating systems-portability. UNIX kicked off the era of open systems, the first wholesale paradigm shift in the history of computing, by being the first portable operating system.

Portability is so crucial because it symbolizes everything that open systems is about, and is the critical computing ingredient for the Information Age. You may hear people use the word primarily to talk about their applications that can run on more than one type of computer platform, but, at its highest level of abstraction, portability is much more. When you think about using standard network interfaces to pass data between different computers, that's portability of information; running applications across a range of devices from desktop to mainframe-or even supercomputer-is portability across scale; and the ability to swap out old technology for the latest technical advances without dramatically affecting the rest of your installation is portability through time. All this is necessary to support the extremely sophisticated levels of information malieability that corporations need to make the Information Age really work.

UNIX was always technically cool, advanced, insanely great, etc. So cool that Bell Labs began giving it away to colleges and universities in 1975 because they thought it would be a good recruitment tool-they believed graduate computer engineers would want to work at the place that produced such an elegant piece of technology. But UNIX's all-important portability didn't come about until 1977. Before that, UNIX's technical qualities alone had lured many Bell operating company department heads to Murray Hill, where they learned about UNIX from its small team of creators and began deploying it on Digital Equipment Corporation computers throughout the Bell System. By 1977, AT&T found itself buying a much larger percentage of Digital's annual output than seemed comfortable. (AT&T didn't want to be responsible for a precipitous drop in Digital's fortunes if it had to stop buying for any reason.) So that year, UNIX's creators ported UNIX for the first time, to a non-Digital computer whose only significant characteristic was that it was a non-Digital computer.

After that, UNIX was portable, and entrepreneurs ported it to new microcomputers like crazy. That's when I came on the scene, as a computer industry news reporter covering all that entrepreneurial energy. Even in 1982, the manifest destiny felt by the people in the UNIX industry was clear. And the idea of a common operating system atop different hardware platforms so powerfully fired the imaginations of information systems managers in major corporations that, today, UNIX has become their de facto server operating system.

Given that you've purchased or are considering this book, you already know that UNIX is ubiquitous. What UNIX is not, however-even with the modern graphical user interfaces that paint a pretty face on it-is easy to program or administer compared to DOS or NetWare. Just as a 747 is a bit more complicated to run than, say, a glider, UNIX's increased flexibility and power come with the price of greater complexity.

This book, which delves deeply into the underpinnings of UNIX systems and offers detailed information on many different brands of UNIX , can be your first step on an enjoyable journey into the powerful, technically elegant world of open, portable computing.

James C. Armstrong, Jr. is a 20-year Unix veteran; his first exposure to Unix was back in the mid-70s when his father showed him the system he used at Bell Labs. At Duke University, James sought out opportunities to learn Unix as an undergraduate, as he felt it was the future of computing.

James graduated from Duke in 1982, and attended the University of St. Andrews for two more years of graduate work before deciding to return to industry. He's worked at Bell Labs, Tandem, and Netscape, as well as being involved with several start-ups. He's currently at AOL after its acquisition of Netscape.

--- Over (foto 8): John Valley ---

John Valley lives in Richmond, Virginia with his wife Terri and his Labrador retriever, Brandon. Mr. Valley currently operates a small practice as an independent consultant for UNIX and Windows tools and applications. With more than twenty years of experience in the computer industry, his background ranges from Cobol business applications and mainframe operating system development to UNIX tools and Windows programming. He teaches courses in C/C++ programming and UNIX fundamentals.

Mr. Valley is largely self-taught, having started as a night shift computer operator in 1972. After serving time as a Cobol applications programmer and mainframe systems programmer, he signed on with Nixdorf Computer Software Corporation (now defunct) to write operating system code. Soon promoted to project leader, he supervised the company's product design efforts for four years. Almost by coincidence, he encountered the UNIX environment in 1985 and quickly became a devotee of UNIX and C programming.

He has published three books on UNIX topics: UNIX Programmer's Reference (Que; 1991), UNIX Desktop Guide to the Korn Shell (Hayden; 1992), and C Programming for UNIX (Sams; 1992).
