Never miss another useful Q&A article again! Subscribe to AskDaveTaylor with Google Reader. I have just finished this book I need to learn UNIX fast!!! I have been in a DEC VMS/RSX environment for 25 years I found cron jobs missing. from the book. AT etc... As I did it on my home LINUX system some of the examples were a bit lacking in data. Vi is a nightmare I come from a VMS environment with a real editor (EVE/EDT) that you can learn in minutes. I got a demo copy for LINUX - try it and see. (NuTPU) The example in chapter 24 does not work off the web site the Perl is not the same. The Lynx script did not work I am trying to find out why! the website has probably changed. But it made me think. Thanks for an enjoyable 3 days Allan Posted by: Allan Biggs at July 3, 2003 7:50 AMThanks for your comments, Allan! It's always tricky in a book to decide what to include and what to omit, so I appreciate your feedback regarding cron and at. They are both covered in detail in the sequel to this book, Teach Yourself Unix System Administration in 24 Hours, which you might find an excellent additional few days of reading! Also, I've been using 'vi' for so long that it's completely wired into my brain. The only change I've made in that regard is that I use vim (see http://www.vim.org/) because it's a great reimplementation of vi with many additional capabilities. Finally, please communicate further with me regarding your problems with the Perl code: I have tested that code extensively and would be surprised to hear that there are any bugs or version dependencies, but it happens! :-) Posted by: Dave Taylor at July 3, 2003 8:59 PMI am currently reading your book Teach Yourself Unix in 24 hours. I have already purchased the seconde book in the series on System Administration in 24 hours. After I finish these two books do you feel that these are supply enough knowlege for someone to start applying for system administrator jobs? Posted by: marlon at August 21, 2005 5:35 AMIf you only read the books, perhaps not. But if you're working through all the examples and experimenting as you go along, then, yes, I think you'd be ready for an entry-level system administration job. Remember, book learning and practical reality are always a bit different! :-) Posted by: Dave Taylor at August 21, 2005 5:50 AMyes i want to learn unix scripting Posted by: shailesh vaidya at March 23, 2007 7:26 PMI have a lot to say, but ...
