Having worked in java shop for 10 years most of the runtime of their java code on linux was run and administered from the shell. The shell of course was accessible via telnet/ssh.
Any server technology as opposed to client will probably need this as it is all about automation, and shell access. Much of what happens in the u2 world is server technology - you have a database and application to which multiple clients connect. So to look over someones shoulder and see a terminal window with lots of fancy commands, is not a look of old fashioned out of date systems, but the look of most server systems today. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: 17 February 2012 17:09 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] mvToolbox "Why is DOS still on Windows?

Rather more cumbersome to do in a Window click click click point, select click click select point click..... -----Original Message----- From: George Gallen <[email protected]> To: U2 Users List <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Feb 17, 2012 6:20 am Subject: Re: [U2] mvToolbox Why? Because it has almost no overhead, and has the most flexibility. Can the 3 year old (assuming they understood the process) select items from one ile based on selection Then pull items from another file using a related ID and save that list. Perform that again on two other files and save that list. Merge those two, and then push that list into an application that emails a file The above would take 2-3 min to do with telnet. IT would take significantly longer to do with a GUI front end. telnet is excellent for administration and development. Once you know what you ant, then you an use the GUI to setup a nice interface for those that want to point and lick. Why is DOS still on Windows? Because there are some things you just can't do asily with windows, r without writing/buying an application.

In today's world a 3 year old can use an iPad to access a Universe or nidata database application. We sell an Alpaca herd management that runs n the iPad and our granddaughter used the application "Who's your daddy?" o find out who the alpaca's daddy is. Sorry, another digression.
