UNIX for OpenVMS Users, 3E, makes it easy to see what OpenVMS and UNIX have in common, and to transfer your knowledge and experience in OpenVMS over to the world of UNIX. Since most shops rely on more than one operating system, it is critical for system administrators and managers to understand the similarities and differences between platforms, so they can easily work in both environments while taking full advantage of the tools and applications available on each. This book offers OpenVMS professionals a concise source of information, so that they can quickly bring their expertise to bear on UNIX file management, e-mail, networking, and security. This new edition of the book is enhanced with updated references to VMS, incorporates suggestions made by readers of previous editions, and particularly, recognizes other UNIX implementations in addition to HP's Tru64. - Includes extensive additions to the sections on VMS logical names, on the emacs editor, and on shell programming and Perl - Describes the interfaces common to both operating systems, with appendices covering command and editor summaries - Adds emphasis on Linux

If you've heard one of John Wisniewski's many presentations on the subject, you'll find that he also brings his expertise and his own brand of humor to the task of explaining these operating systems to new and experienced programmers and administrators.·Covers the capabilities, features, and advantages of both Linux and OpenVMS·Offers tested solutions to practical interoperability problems ·Provides a basis for you to choose the right operating system for your needs

Getting Started with OpenVMS System Management gives new VMS system managers a jumpstart in managing this powerful and reliable operating system. Dave Miller describes the essentials of what an OpenVMS System Manager will have to manage. He defines areas of OpenVMS System Management and describes why each is important and how it fits into the larger management task. Even though some OpenVMS management concepts are unique (for instance quotas), many concepts (such as account creation) have counterparts in UNIX and Windows NT. So, wherever possible, Miller points out to his readers the parallel to other systems. The book is intended as a precursor to Baldwin's OpenVMS System Management Guide and various OpenVMS documents. Thus it refers the reader to other books for the detailed management steps. Getting Started with OpenVMS System Management is a great introduction to the material Steve Hoffman and Dave Miller are revising for the OpenVMS System Management Guide, 2E. Permits experienced system managers to begin managing OpenVMS more quickly Dovetails with other Digital Press publications for easier reference by the OpenVMS manager Points you in the right direction for the complete documentation on each issue BONUS FEATURE! Includes excerpts from five key DP OpenVMS books.

Completely updated and revised, The OpenVMS User's Guide continues to be the prime resource for new and non-technical users on how to use OpenVMS and customize it to their working environment. For more proficient users, the book serves as a quick look-up reference. The book begins with an introduction to the OpenVMS operating system and its built-in functions, and then provides a thorough explanation of OpenVMS files and directories, use of DCL, and how to edit files using EVE and EDT. It also discusses how to create command procedures and the Mail and Phone utilities. New to this edition are additional insights into application development and sending e-mail to remote notes via the Internet, remote logins and file transfers. Each chapter is liberally sprinkled with learning aids including summaries and tables of commands, exercises, and review quizzes.

OpenVMS professionals have long enjoyed a robust, full-featured operating system running the most mission-critical applications in existence. However, many of today's graduates may not yet have had the opportunity to experience it for themselves. Intended for an audience with some knowledge of operating systems such as Windows, UNIX and Linux, Getting Started with OpenVMS introduces the reader to the OpenVMS approach. Part 1 is a practical introduction to get the reader started using the system. The reader will learn the OpenVMS terminology and approach to common concepts such as processes and threads, queues, user profiles, command line and GUI interfaces and networking. Part 2 provides more in-depth information about the major components for the reader desiring a more technical description. Topics include process structure, scheduling, memory management and the file system. Short sections on the history of OpenVMS, including past, present, and future hardware support (like the Intel Itanium migration), are included. OpenVMS is considered in different roles, such as a desktop system, a multi-user system, a network server, and in a combination of roles. - Allows the more advanced reader some meaty content yet does not overwhelm the novice - Provides practical examples showing that OpenVMS is well-suited for popular modern applications - Gives a high-level overview of concepts behind internals such as memory management
