I forgot the SUMMARY in the subject, which is a good excuse to resend and say "thanks" for all the great personal well-wishing messages. Best of luck for everyone on the list also seeking gainful employ (seems to be a lot of you!) - I'm sure things will pick up early in the New Year.... cheers, Mike Kiernan ps. maybe I should go back to AIX after all ;-) : http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/23357.html -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Fwd: Command Equivalence Matrix?] Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2001 19:17:30 +0100 From: Michael Kiernan <mkiernan@onet.pl> Organization: Onet.pl S.A. To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org, linuxmanagers@linuxmanagers.org Lots of replies, in order of receipt: Scott McCool Scott D Thornberry John Maguire Russell Niesz Jeffrey Wimmer Frank Smith Mark Lin David Evans G Hackett Tim Gallagher Jon Lasser David Foster Jim Coleman Edward Scown Tim Evans Jason Dixon Richard R. Morgan David Cantrell Dave Warchol Celeste Stokely Brian Coyle Rob Rankin Shashank Rai Ed Rolison Mike's List Rich Kulawiec Basically I got two answers (only Brian Coyle I think sent them both): Rosetta Stone ------------- AIX/DG-UX/FreeBSD/HP-UX/IRIX/Linux/NetBSD/OpenBSD/Solaris/SunOS/Tru64/... ...Ultrix http://home.earthlink.net/~bhami/rosetta.html http://home.earthlink.net/~bhami/unix-rosetta.pdf UnixGuide.net ------------- AIX/FreeBSD/HP-UX/Linux(RedHat)/Solaris/Tru64 http://www.unixguide.net/ http://unix-guide.addr.com/unixguide.shtml Thanks for those. a couple of people also sent me some specific commands for linux which I've filed away - thanks. My assessment of the two existing matrices is: - the formats are 'orrible (especially the rosetta stone) - the scope is limited - they don't account for different versions of each os - Linux coverage is limited to Redhat pretty much - who cares about AIX? (just kidding) A lot of people also asked if I'd be willing to share my matrix. Well, yes, but to be honest it's more a list than a matrix, and completely random/haphazard - only really including commands I KNOW I'm gonna forget if you know what I mean, so isn't really good reference material. So, looks like a gap in the market there for someone looking to implement another dot-adclick-doomed-to-failure business model. Speaking of which...I'm redundant from Tuesday next (actually just in time to take some paternal leave for my first baby - every cloud has a silver lining ;-)). You can reach me at: mkiernan@osfutures.com - I'll rejoin the list from that address once I get bored with feeding and nappies :) Thanks again, Mike Kiernan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Command Equivalence Matrix? Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 18:07:41 +0100 From: Michael Kiernan <mkiernan@onet.pl> Organization: Onet.pl S.A. To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org, linuxmanagers@linuxmanagers.org For years I've kept my own horrible mess of a "command equivalence matrix" for all the various gnarlsome operating systems I've subjected myself to. Basically it's a flat file with: command: show cpu info HP-UX: /usr/sam/lbin/getmem || wc -c /dev/mem || dmesg| awk '/Physical:/ && /Kbytes/ {print $2}' Solaris: prtconf -v|| prtdiag -v IRIX: hinv -v command: show packages: debian: dpkg -l solaris: pkginfo -l HP-UX: swlist command: show patches: solaris: showrev -p IRIX: versions | grep -i patch AIX: instfix -iv | grep IX obviously things are complicated by the availability of FSF and other 3rd party utils/abstractions but you get the idea... With Linux I'm struggling badly with different commands on different releases. I'm getting seriously bored with trawling through yet another set of mundane man pages looking for the right switches. Has anyone ever seen a matrix for Linux (particularly from the point of view of a Solaris admin) esp. for debian and redhat. Will Summarize! Regards, Mike Kiernan -- Michael Kiernan Onet.pl S.A.
