β¦ Synopsis
The Perl programming language lets you write quick yet powerful scripts for automating many administrative tasks. Written for several different platforms (Unix, Windows NT, and MacOS), Perl for System Administration is aimed at all levels of administrators--from hobbyists to card-carrying SAGE members-- sysadmins on multi-platform sites. Assuming only a little familiarity with Perl, this book leads you through the pockets of administration where Perl can be most useful, including filesystem management, user administration, directory services, database administration, log files, and security and network monitoring. Each chapter concentrates on a single administrative task, discusses the possible pitfalls, and then shows how Perl comes to the rescue. Perl for System Administration is for anyone who needs to use Perl for administrative tasks and needs to hit the ground running.
