what programming language??

[jeriko serrano]

hello experts,
may i know what programming language was used to create the System Administration Manager (SAM). thank you very much for any info you can give me...

[Elmar P. Kolkman]

Though not sure, I think it is in written in C, like most tools for Unix. What do you want with this information ?

[Graham Cameron_1]

You need someone from HP to answer this definitively.
The run time for sam is "/usr/sam/lbin/samx".

If you run the following command you'll definitely find evidence of C:
strings /usr/sam/lbin/samx|grep "\.c"

-- Graham

PS. Why do you care ?

They've gone through some trouble to hide it :)
