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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: Onet.pl S.A. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
