AW: Unix for oracle dba -- Suggest a book ?

I read it and love it. The only thing I was wondering about is the fact, that he uses tcl/tk, which I found most people don't use anymore. Nice surprise.
I wasn't quite sure wether oraora was looking for books that gives more of a general overview of books that delve into the depth of unix internals. Anyway, here is my favorite on Unix internals (hence, the name of the book ;):

UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers by Uresh Vahalia

Eventhough it was published in 1995, it gives you a very good understanding about how things really work and why they work the way they do.

Regards,
Stefan

If you want to understand how Oracle uses Unix get a copy of James Morle's "Scaling Oracle".
It's not a beginner's Unix book but it's accurate and detailed.

I've found a wonderful resource in the following book:

"Oracle DBA on Unix and Linux"

        by Michael Wessler
http://www.samspublishing.com

It covers some of the differences in features between 8i and 9i as well as handling the specifics of administrating Oracle specifically on Unix platforms. Highly recommended (at least by me).
