Customer Reviews

Great reference for HP-UX 10.x Sysadmins and users.

If you're using HP-UX 10.x, then this is one of the better books that's out there. It's a good reference for a medium-level SysAdmin with a few HP 9000 servers to keep up with, but beginners and experienced SysAdmins can benefit from Jay Shah' clear and concise style here. There are a number of times that I've used it (let's see... when you 'tar' a file, you use the... uh... er... now which switch was that?) as a quick reference for one or another of those commands that we all know but forgot a particular command at the moment. Good, basic coverage of TCP/IP topics as well.If your primary HP-UX environment is 11.x, then you may wish to consider another book, but for all those still using HP-UX 10.x or earlier versions, this is a gem. I just wish that Mr. Shah would update it to include the newer versions!

Great book...big fun for little dough!

I'm a Sys Admin for a large corporation and I think this book is WELL worth the money. It is clearly and concisely written, and has the best section on NFS mounting that I have ever read. This book is NOT for beginners, but is rather helpful for those of intermediate to advanced HPUX skill levels. Overall, a great read...and a reasonable price too!

Great for Experts Like Me

... because it tells you how to boot single user and change the root password (just because you feel like it; a professional genius like me would never forget the root password). A lot more compact than the genuine HP manuals and almost as useful. See my full review at http://photo.net/wtr/bookshelf.html
