Help for UNIX Administrators

At slashbin you will find a collection of information dealing with a wide range of issues related to the UNIX/Linux Operating System. I have collected this information throught my many years as a UNIX professional. This information is presented as procedures which describe task that you may need to perform, short answers to some specific tasks, examples of ksh and Perl scripting, as well as some examples of documentation you may want to use at your own site.

Scripting

This site contains a selection of both shell scripts and Perl programs. The code contained in them performs a wide  variety of tasks from systems monitoring to backup and restore. I advise you to  always test new software on a test (non-production) system before you move it to  a critical system. See the disclaimer on this page. Clarity of purpose is a  basic rule of good systems administration. Know what you are doing
and why you  are doing it.

services
