Wouldn’t you like to automate the tedious daily tasks of system administration? Automating UNIX and Linux Administration will show you how, by exploring existing tools and offering real-world examples. Parts of the book are Linux-specific, but most of it applies to a UNIX system, including multiple variants of UNIX. Author Kirk Bauer briefly overviews tools and technologies—and assumes preliminary knowledge about editing a configuration file or mounting a file system.

The techniques, methods, and tools in this book will help you manage a single system—but will prove especially powerful across multiple systems. No matter if the systems are desktops, servers, or Beowulf clusters—all of them will benefit from this automation. And managing five to five thousand systems will become a simpler task!
