Title: Incomplete Reference! Rating- (no stars)
Review: I was looking for a good Solaris 8 reference, this is not it. I had the book 10 minutes, here's what I found. The first things I tried to look up in my new complete reference were the new Solaris 8 commands prstat, psinfo, and sdtprocess - nothing about them. How about a few words on the Solaris Product registry which is also new in Solaris 8 for managing software pkgs- nothing. Page 253 shows a script that can be used for unmounting a busy file system- hey, what about the new Solaris 8 umount -f option for unmounting busy file systems- nothing about it. I could go on and on about stuff missing in this book, but I think you get the point. Did they even look at Solaris 8 before writing this book. It appears the publisher was more concerned with getting a book out first than a "real" complete Solaris 8 guide. Oh, and BTW- mine's falling apart too. Mine's going back.
