Linux(r) Troubleshooting for System Administrators and Power Users

by James Kirkland Et Al

Linux(r) Troubleshooting for System Administrators and Power Users Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Linux is a fast-growing operating system with power and appeal, and enterprises worldwide are quickly adopting the system to utilize its benefits. But as with all operating systems, performance problems do occur causing system administrators to scramble into action. Finally, there is a complete reference for troubleshooting Linux–quickly! Linux Troubleshooting for System Administrators and Power Users is THE book for locating and solving problems and maintaining high performance in Red Hat® Linux and Novell® SUSE® Linux systems.

 

This book not only teaches you how to troubleshoot Linux, it shows you how the system works–so you can attack any problem at its root. Should you reinstall if Linux does not boot? Or can you save time by troubleshooting the problem? Can you enhance performance when Linux hangs or runs slowly? Can you overcome problems with printing or accessing a network? This book provides easy-to-follow examples and an extensive look at the tools, commands, and scripts that make Linux run properly. 

  • A troubleshooting guide for all Linux users: Focuses on common problems with start-up, printing, login, the network, security, and more
  • Restore Linux when boot, startup, or shutdown fails–and reinstall Linux properly when all troubleshooting fails
  • Explains how to use some of the most popular Linux performance tools, including top, sar, vmstat, iostat, and free
  • Handle storage problems and CPU slamming to ensure high Linux performance
  • Solve hardware device problems by deciphering error messages and using the lspci tool
  • Use backup/recover commands and tape libraries to create proper backups
  • Identify and correct remote and network printing problems using spooler commands 

Gone are the days of searching online for solutions that are out of date and unreliable. Whether you are a system admin, developer, or user, this book is an invaluable resource for ensuring that Linux runs smoothly, efficiently, and securely.

 

 

Book News Annotation:

The popularity of Linux continues to grow, and as users apply it to a wider variety of situations system administrators are learning that as powerful as the software may be, there still can be problems. This guide designed for quick reference focuses on Red Hat Linux and Novell SUSE Linux systems. The authors sort their information by type of problem, covering issues in system boot and startup/shutdown, system hangs and panics, performance tools, performance in general, adding new storage via SAN with reference to PCMCIA and USB, disk partitions and file systems, device failure and replacement, Linux processes (including structure, hangs and core dumps), backup and recovery, cron and at (including daemons), printing and printers (including the dreaded spooler), system security, network problems, login problems and X Windows problems. The authors provide examples and chapter summaries for quick reference.
