Hi! Could anyone recommend some books on Unix related to the following topics: Unix Kernel, Shell Programming, Unix Utilities . Is there any single book that talks about all these topics ? thanks.

I suggest that you take a look at O'Reilly & Associates. They have several excellent books on a large number of UNIX topics.

For Shell programming and utilities, I can reccomend "Tricks of the Unix Masters" put out by the Waite group.

I would also recomment the "Tricks of the Unix Masters". It discusses some things about the Kernel, and delves fairly deeply into Shell Scripting. -- | Internet: data@{bucs1,buhub}.bradley.edu, al632@cleveland.freenet.edu | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | F'net : 1:232/28 1:2250/9 (fname.lname@f<node>.n<net>.z<zone>.fidonet.org) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, but Captain, | | it makes no sense!"

There are three books every kernel programmer should own - "The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System", Samuel J. Leffler, et al. Addison-Wesley, 1988 ISBN 0-201-06196-1, Library of Congress QA76.76.063D474 "The Design of the UNIX Operating System", Maurice J. Bach. Prentice-Hall, 1986. ISBN 0-13-201799-7 "A Commentary on the UNIX Operating System", J. Lions, 1977. The first two are mandatory, the third is there for historical reference. If a co-worker has a copy of it, you may want to borrow it for reading some time. It is no longer in print or otherwise available (sigh). They are all very slow reading. -- John F.

Is there >any single book that talks about all these topics ? thanks. I'd recommend the series of books from Hayden Books. The most recent Shell Programming book UNIX - System Programming (Revised Ed.) by Kochan & Wood is quite nice. ISBN #0-672-48448-X $26.95 There's a whole UNIX series with books covering topics System Programming, System Administration, Networking, System Security, Text Processing and Exploring the UNIX System. There's also a bunch of books on topics dealing with C from the same publisher.

Unlike the old days (say, early '80s) there are lots of good texts on UNIX topics today. I was rather underwhelmed by Sage's "Tricks". I've come up with more useful ones myself. For the beginner, my favorite is still McGilton and Morgan's _Introducing_the_UNIX_System_ for System V, with Kernigan and Pike's _UNIX Programming_Environment_ a good intermediate level follow-on. ----------------- uunet!media!ka3ovk!raysnec!shwake shwake@rsxtech

It is no longer in print or otherwise available (sigh). The Lions book contains reformatted sources and commentary on Version 6 and was deemed in violation of AT&T's source agreement. The only way I've seen a copy of this is in photocopy form. -- scott barman | There comes a time in everyone's existance scott@nbc1.ge.com | when actions speak louder than words.
