This course teaches the Solaris 10 professional (user, systems
administrator, application/system programmer) the techniques
needed to develop advanced shell and reporting type procedures
under Solaris 10. Techniques in the major shells will be shown.
All Solaris 10 platforms support the techniques in this course.
