STOP!! Don't buy this book!
This book is sorely missing some VERY crucial information. Where's NSLookup? Where's Traceroute? Where's Route? Where's Ping? on and on.....

Good bathroom book, but Missing a lot!
I always enjoy a good bathroom book that I can pick up, thumbthrough, and learn a new command that I've not tried or a new switchon an old command. (A great way to learn VI)I was disappointed in this book when I found that many for my favorite commands like vmstat, iostat, disks, add_drv, dev_links, and many other commands were NOT found. Note on the Inside Flap: .. Complete guide to all man pages in Section 1 User Commands. User commands like date, diff, dump, exportfs, ftp, pkginfo, mailx were very detailed - much more then the man pages provide. Janice put together 1550 pages of detailed Section 1 man pages and did a very good job. I feel for [this price] a Reference book (like a Dictionary) needs to be complete and therefor the book is miss-named. Perhaps Solaris 7 (Section 1 man page) Commands would be a more applicable title. How would you like to buy a dictionary only to discover when you went to look up a word that your dictionary didn't cover that word? Soon you would stop using that dictionary! I returned my copy and will wait for the Complete Solaris 7 Reference. I the mean time, I can depend on the man pages.

Great book
I am suprised to read negative reviews of this book. It is THE best "command reference" book available for Solaris 7. I have some suggestions to people with negative reviews about this book " Go get Solaris for dummies" book.
