This is the first system administrator book devoted exclusively to setting up and managing a HP-UX system—a popular, widely used UNIX operating system. Highly practical in approach, it bridges the gap between HP-UX formal documentation and generic UNIX system administration books. Covers step-by-step the process of setting up HP-UX systems; the fundamental system administration tasks and the means by which they are performed on an HP system; the “art” of system administration for the HP-UX; and miscellaneous topics in which every administrator should have some background, e.g., writing shell scripts, updating the HP-UX operating system, customizing HP VUE, etc.
