Many of the topics covered up to this point, such as installing Linux, net-working, startup, kernel configuration, and many others, warrant their own individual chapters. This chapter discusses many of the remaining system administration-related topics, such as the following:

• Managing processes using ps, kill, and signals

• Users and groups

• Disk usage

• Scheduling jobs with cron
