OpenSolaris is a rapidly evolving operating system with roots in Solaris 10, suitable for deployment on laptops, desktop workstations, storage appliances, and data center servers from the smallest singlepurpose systems to the largest enterpriseclass systems. The growing OpenSolaris community now has hundreds of thousands of participants and users in government agencies, commercial businesses, and universities, with more than 100 user groups around the world contributing to the use and advancement of OpenSolaris. New releases of OpenSolaris become available every six months, with contributions from both Sun engineers and OpenSolaris community members; this book covers the OpenSolaris 2008.11 release.

Pro OpenSolaris was written to demonstrate that you can host your open source applications and solutions on OpenSolaris, taking advantage of its advanced features such as containers and other forms of virtualization, the ZFS file system, and DTrace. It's assumed that you are already fairly knowledgeable about developing on Linux systems, so the authors give an overview of the similarities and differences between Linux and OpenSolaris, and then present details on how to use the Service Management Facility (SMF), ZFS, zones, and even a bit of DTrace. They also provide pointers to the many project communities associated with new OpenSolaris features. Special focus is given to web development using familiar applications such as Apache, Tomcat, and MySQL, along with the NetBeans IDE, and showing you how to exploit some of OpenSolaris's unique technologies. What you'll learn Discover the secrets of the ZFS, the most powerful file system ever conceived Explore OpenSolaris AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) and GlassFish in the context of Web 2.0 and Linux/Solaris, respectively Familiarize yourself with the new security administration features of OpenSolaris, including changes in DTrace Who this book is for

Linux system administrators and programmers who would like to know what they have missed since Solaris became an open-source operating system.

Windows power users have always envied their friends running UNIX machines for the ease of automation that they enjoy. The traditional Windows command-line shell, cmd.exe, has never been up to par with shells like bash or tcsh, especially when it comes to text processing and process automation. Windows PowerShell changes all that. This next-generation shell is also a full-blown scripting environment with a real programming language that allows users to access every part of their operating system. Files, registry entries, and COM and .NET objects are all supported by PowerShell, which makes manipulating them a breeze. Pro Windows PowerShell will show you how to use all this power in your own work. You'll discover the object-oriented features of the shell and how they help in extracting and manipulating data. You'll then learn how to use those features to solve real-world problems: manipulating files, working with text, monitoring systems, and performing operations over the network. The book serves as not only a tutorial, but also a reference: the Real World part is structured so that it can be read nonlinearly and used as a reference or a cookbook. And you'll find freely available tools and extensions that will help you do things even faster. Pro Windows PowerShell is your best companion to the capabilities and power that PowerShell offers you. What you'll learn See how to solve real problems with Windows PowerShell using a repository of working code. Get a sense of the big picture, with PowerShell integrating with the outside world. You will discover examples and techniques when dealing with other programs, the operating system, and the network. Explore free andopen-source tools and extensions that help you get results with Windows PowerShell fast. (No other book has this feature ) Who is this book for? Pro Windows PowerShell is targeted at professionals who handle a lot of repetitive tasks. The goal is to show how PowerShell can help script most of those tasks and reduce their burden. The book contains examples on automating typical system administration tasks: configuration, monitoring, network queries, text manipulation, and file operations. The ideas presented will be beneficial to power users needing a better shell and an automation environment, system and network administrators looking to streamline their daily activities, and software developers wishing to optimize their build and deploy process.
