@Duncan - KVA vs. KW was one of my farorites too :-)

MY favorite - U.SivaKumar's 'daring question':
https://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=186828

Also interesting:

I just stumbled into a good ITRC thread albeit not in the forums: The HPUX Handbook chapters:

http://www11.itrc.hp.com/service/rsb/rsbDisplay.do?fileName=highlights/hp-ux_sw_recovery.htm

You could consider those a threat to the forum threads, because if folks would just (know where to) read they'd be all set, not needing the forums.

Sorry to re-hash this old thread, but is there a master document or anything similar to that, showing a mapping for these favorite sysadmin scripts and whatever else marked as forum favorites ? The site search, together with being a smidgen better than the ITRC's legacy search engine, still leaves a lot to be desired. I have searched for some keywords that I know existed in the context of the same thread and found nothing.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Thanks for the great effort to bring this back :)
