Synopsis

This guide to the UNIX multi-user operating system was written with the non-expert, busy person in mind and , as such it has an underlying structure based on what you need to know first, appears first. Nonetheless the book has also been designed to be circular which means that you don't have to start at the beginning and go through to the end. The more experienced user can start from any section. The book explains: how the UNIX operating system is structure so that you understand what happened when you first approach your computer; how directories and subdirectories can be employed to organise the way you keep files on your disc so that your system efficiently is maximised; how to use the UNIX commands so that both input and output can be taken from or sent to a specific device , in either immediate or background mode; how to write a shell procedure which can include commands to manage your system's environment; how to manage electronic mail; how to use an editor to write programs for the various compilers your computer system might support;. The book covers both the command-line mode and the shell mode of processing under UNIX.
