This is a true waste of money. I would rather buy icecream for 5 bucks. This has only 4 pages of true information about HP-UX that too at a very high level, incomplete, and ill organized. Atmost it is a list of commands without any elaboration.

Six pages, including a cover and a table of contents, and four pages about HP-UX. Contains a listing of top-level operating system directories and some commands. Some commands show only syntax, while others show only examples - a combination of syntax/examples/brief explanations would have conveyed the material better. The material which is there is ok, but there is a fair amount which is conspicuous in its absence. I would recommend inclusion of the iostat command, and an explanation of hardware paths, in future editions.

My review is limited to 1,000 words; that's longer than this study guide! I should've listened to the first two reviews but ...
The study guide covers less than 30 commands ( by example only ) and covers a very few files ( name and what its for only ).
There is other info in it too, but these are also covered in the briefest manner.
The material doesn't even tell you what you should study elsewhere for the exam.
$5 would definitely have been better spent on coffee while I studied other material for the exam.
