comparing directory structure
I think the cmp command may have the same problem as diff. here is what I would try. you want to catch files in dir1 but missing in dir2 and files in dir2 but missing in dir1. If the file exists in both dirs you want to see if there is any difference in fields ( perms, date, etc ) you can... -
The dumpcheck utility
use sysdumpdev -e to get an Estimated size. create your dump space a little bigger than that. as you get more apps running, your dumpspace size will go up. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes. -
comparing directory structure
do ls -l on both dirs. capture the output to 2 files. diff the files. the time stamps will be picked up by diff Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes. -
ejecting a backup tape from the command line
well, tctl - rewoffl should rewind the tape and eject it tctl -f /dev/rmt1 rewind for example. also mt will do the same thing. I do not understand what you mean when you say "I don't think you can do it using this command." Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in... -
collect2: libncurses.a: not a COFF file
Ok, I found lots of information but no fix. Here is what I did to fix it. very ugly but worked. Note: this only works for 32 bit code. If you use 64 bit libs, your out of luck. xcoff is the big format ( extended coff ) you need to convert the libs ( in your case libxcurses.a ) to small format... -
Find CPU Speed on RS6000's
Procedure While there is not a direct command to determine processor speed in AIX V4, the best place to start is with the uname command. Executing uname -m produces output of the following form: xxyyyyyymmss The meanings of the placeholders are as follows: xx = 00... -
remote ftp password change
Let me state what I think you are trying to do. You want to sync the password for a user on an as400 with the same user on AIX? There are several problems with using ftp to do this. Ftp can not execute scripts. Thus it might be able to move the password from one machine to the other but has... -
Copy users and groups to another server
I have a cluster of machines. One of them is a "password" server. I push the passwords, groups, etc from the server to all the machines using rdist. It keeps everything in sync. Here are the files you need to move. /etc/security/passwd... -
HAMP Problem!
There is not enough data to understand your problem. How many nodes are in the cluster? How is the cluster set up? cascading or rotating? From what I have seen, looks like you have a problem with rsh. HA depends on rsh, so if it wont work, HA should fail. Test rsh from each node to the others... -
system boot slowly when i install ML03 on AIX5.1
i understand that tcb can make this happen. If you are using it, disable and test. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes. -
AIX v4.3.3 vs. 5.1 & 5.2
Migration Install from AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5.1 ML 3 (also works for 5.2 NO ML ) I was going to 5.1 but found the end of service date for 5.1 was next year. So I am going to 5.2 instead. I hope this helps. Migration Install from AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5.1 ML 3 ( and AIX 5.2 ML 0 ) Pre Migration The... -
su a user without giving the passwd
umm, if you give sudo all, then you can run anything as root. better to just give the user a commad like USERA ALL = su - USERB this will allow usera to only run su - USERB and not other stuff like sudo rm -R * here is the web doc on the suders file... -
topas not working correctly after applying APAR IY40500
umm, if you installed through smit, did it say anything about bosboot verification? if so, you need to rerun bos boot on all boot disks and reboot to fix. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes. -
tmie service
the serivce is xntpd it can also be used to get the time from a time server as well as serve it out. I guess a "client " might be ntpdate Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes. -
Script for print queue start
why not use sudo? let the user run only commands he needs. although running a script out of cron to bring up downed queues is faster. here is a quick and painless q kicker script #!/bin/ksh dqueue=`enq -sWA | grep DOWN | cut -f1 -d' '` for q in $dqueue...
