I think one of the nicest features of smit is that it (a) shows the commands it's going to execute, and (b) logs them which can be useful for understanding what's going on under the covers and scripting things that are done frequently. >As I mentioned earlier you have two choices for smit; the curses >interface and the Motif one. (You probably have a web based interface >but I'm not sure about that) Curses interfaces are great. It's one of the things I really like about yast2 in the SuSE 8.[12] Linux distributions. I often run the curses interface when doing remote maintenance over fairly slow links. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.
