Comments About My UNIX Admin Book
"Joe recently completed his first instructional book on Unix, which was published under the Prentice-Hall label. The book is doing very well, and is an excellent instructional aid for those of you wanting to learn more about Unix shell scripts or how to use CRON to automate execution of shell scripts. It's a quick read - all 588 pages of it!!! For those of you not inclined to snuggle up by the fire with a good Unix book, you should at least take a look at the forward - you'll learn all sorts of things about our resident author that will surprise and amaze you! Good luck with the next book (Son of Unix), Joe!!!"
