Re: Re: OT - Linux books ??

what got me for about 2 hours recently was the standard:

tr [A-B] [a-b],(it just means make everything upper case, now lower cass, its a LOWER function in SQL) thats even in the oreilly korn shell book.

no solaris has to get cute and make you do:

tr [:upper:] {:lower:]

what i mean by that is such things as monitoring I/O, etc... Systems Admin and DBA work overlaps. is it alot different on different unix systems?
