If you are new to Unix, this concise book will tell you just what you need to get started and no more. Unix was one of the first operating systems written in C, a high-level programming language, and its natural portability and low price made it a popular choice among universities. Initially, two main dialects of Unix existed: one produced by At&amp;T known as System V, and one developed at Uc Berkeley and known as Bsd. In recent years, many other dialects have been created, including the highly popular Linux operating system and the new Mac Os X (a derivative of Bsd). Learning the Unix Operating System is a handy book for someone just starting with Unix or Linux, and it's an ideal primer for Mac and Pc users of the Internet who need to know a little about Unix on the systems they visit. The fifth edition is the most effective introduction to Unix in print, covering Internet usage for email, file transfers, web browsing, and many major and minor updates to help the reader navigate the ever-expanding capabilities of the operating system: In response to the popularity of Linux, the book now focuses on the popular bash shell preferred by most Linux users. Since the release of the fourth edition, the Internet and its many functions has become part of most computer user's lives. A new chapter explains how to use ftp, pine for mail, and offers useful knowledge on how to surf the web. Today everyone is concerned about security. With this in mind, the author has included tips throughout the text on security basics, especially in the Internet and networking sections. The book includes a completely updated quick reference card to make it easier for the reader to access the key functions of the command line.

Using UUCP and Usenet shows how to communicate with both UNIX and non-UNIX systems, using UUCP and cu or tip. It also shows how to read news, post your own articles, and mail to other Usenet members. This handbook assumes that UUCP and Usenet links to other computer systems have already been established by your system administrator.Clear enough for a novice, this book is packed with information that even experienced users will find indispensable. Take the mystery out of questions such as why files sent via UUCP don't always end up where you want them, how to find out the status of your file transfer requests, and how to execute programs remotely with uux.Topics covered include:
<ul>
<li>Introduction to UUCP communications.</li>
<li>Copying files with UUCP.</li>
<li>Remote command execution.</li>
<li>Sending mail to distant users.</li>
<li>Checking on UUCP requests.</li>
<li>Remote login with cu or tip.</li>
<li>Extending the UUCP network.</li>
<li>Reading and posting news.</li>
<li>Many useful appendices.</li>
</ul>

Using UUCP and Usenet

Dougherty, Dale

Networking & Cloud Computing

For all its widespread use, UUCP is one of the most difficult UNIX utilities to master. Poor documentation, cryptic messages, and differences between various implementations make setting up UUCP links a nightmare for many a system administrator.This handbook is meant for system administrators who want to install and manage the UUCP and Usenet software. It covers HoneyDanBer UUCP as well as standard Version 2 UUCP, with special notes on Xenix. As one reader noted over the Net, "Don't even TRY to install UUCP without it!"Topics covered in Managing UUCP include:
<ul>
<li>How UUCP works.</li>
<li>RS-232 cabling.</li>
<li>Talking with modems.</li>
<li>Setting up a UUCP link.</li>
<li>Security considerations.</li>
<li>UUCP administration.</li>
<li>Introduction to Usenet.</li>
<li>Installing Netnews.</li>
<li>Administering Netnews.</li>
</ul>The tenth edition of this classic work has been revised and expanded to include descriptions of:<ul>
<li>How to use NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) to transfer Usenet news over TCP/IP and other high-speed networks.</li>
<li>How to get DOS versions of UUCP.</li>
<li>How to set up DOS-based laptop computers as traveling UUCP nodes.</li>
<li>How the UUCP 'g' protocol works.</li>
</ul>

<li>Managing UNIX files and directories</li>
<li>Sending and receiving mail</li>
<li>Redirecting input/output</li>
<li>Pipes and filters</li>
<li>Background processing</li>
</ul>This book is the most effective introduction to UNIX in print. The third edition provides increased coverage of window systems and networking. It's a handy book for someone just starting with UNIX, as well as someone who encounters a UNIX system as a "visitor" via remote login over the Internet.

Learning the UNIX Operating System (Nutshell Handbooks)

Programming

UUCP, a UNIX program with a long history, remains interesting even today because it is a simple way to share resources and transfer files from one computer to another. It runs over dial-up lines with a minimum of overhead. UUCP became popular because of its use by the Usenet, but it remains popular today because it works well on small systems with limited resources. The proliferation of PC-sized machines in small offices and homes, especially those that run the Linux operating system, has caused a resurgence of interest in UUCP.This book combines material about UUCP formerly contained in two other O'Reilly &amp; Associates books, Using UUCP and Usenet and Managing UUCP and Usenet. UUCP and Usenet are sufficiently separated now to make it inefficient to discuss them both in the same book. On the other hand, it now makes sense to combine information about using and managing UUCP in one volume, because on PC-sized systems, the user and the manager of UUCP are likely to be the same person. With this book, everything you need to know about UUCP is in one volume.Using &amp; Managing UUCP contains up-to-date information about HoneyDanBer UUCP (officially called Basic Networking Utilities or BNU). It also contains product-specific information about the UUCP implementations of the major UNIX vendors. More important, Using &amp; Managing UUCP covers Taylor UUCP, a new implementation that ships with Linux distributions. So this book is of special importance to the growing number of individuals running Linux on their home or office computers.
