I looked at the courses on the URL above and cannot recommend them for UNIX, I'm sorry to say. Please let me know your current expertise and experience plus some words on where you want to be in your career with UNIX and I am happy to make a few book recommendations. Here is an old favorite which most UNIX folks have read:

We should put an end to saying "orphan", "kill child", "zombie".
Anyone,
We should change the awful metaphors used in the language of managing Unix processes. I believe that this still humbly local initiative hides a great importance of how the world of Unix looks and feels to every user.

socklog-check
socklog-check(8) System Manager's Manual socklog-check(8)
NAME
socklog-check - checks for the availability of a socklog(8) service.
SYNOPSIS
socklog-check [-v] [unix [address]]
DESCRIPTION
socklog-check attempts to connect to a socklog(8) unix service and reports whether the connection attempt succeeded or not.
It connects to the datagram oriented unix domain socket address, and reports success through the return code. If address is not specified,
socklog-check attempts to connect to /dev/log.
When running services that use the syslog facility under runit's service supervision, socklog-check should be added to the top of the ser-
vice's run script to ensure that no syslog messages are generated until a syslog service is up and running to process the messages, e.g.:
#!/bin/sh
socklog-check || exit 1
exec service_using_syslog
OPTIONS
-v verbose. Print verbose message to standard error.
EXIT CODES
On success socklog-check returns 0.
On error, socklog-check prints a message to standard error and exits 111.
