| Tóm tắt: | In the beginning was the command line. You can automate anything and everything in Mac OS X, but
knowledge of the command line will be required to fully automate your deployment and integrate Mac OS X in the
enterprise while maintaining a low total cost of ownership. This isn't to say you can’t integrate Mac OS X into a large
organization en masse without using the command line — you can.However, from automation to troubleshooting,
opening up a terminal window will be key to keeping your sanity, if only from time to time. But don’t fear the
terminal, and know that the fundamental tasks required and the fundamental methodologies with Windows
deployments are the same as with Mac OS X.
If you are reading this book, then you are likely charged with integrating Macs into your environment,
whether kicking and screaming (which we hope this book will change) or as the sponsor. The message that you take
away from this book is hopefully that you can do anything you want to with Mac OS X, from deploying 10,000
machines overnight to building a petabyte worth of storage to house all sorts of data for your Macs, provided you
are not averse to learning a little bit of command line to achieve your goals. The power and flexibility of Mac OS X
along with the best of the open source community is right at your fingertips to help along the way.
The first question many in IT ask when told about the need to use the command line is, "But isn’t Mac OS X
supposed to be easy to use." It is. But we're not talking about just using the Mac. We're talking about building and
managing a complicated IT infrastructure, which at some point requires staff that is tooled with the mastery of the
internals of each platform for which they are tasked as the steward. As such, the more you learn about internals, the
more you learn about the basics, the more you can automate, the more you learn about what goes on under the
hood, the more you can master management en masse, and, ultimately, the more appropriately you will be able to
address issues and concerns on an enterprise-wide scale as they arise. To take this a step further, the more you
learn about managing a second platform (no matter what the platform is), the better you will be at managing others.
But drastic reduction in Total Cost of Ownership is possible with OS X compared to other platforms for a variety of
reasons. And since users are typically happier on a Mac, who wouldn’t want a happier user base combined with
lower recurring costs.m |
