UCX / Linux

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

Does someone has a list of ucx commands and their equivallent in Redhat 7.2 Linux ?
Saves me reading all the man pages.

Wim,

If you mean TCPIP Services, then:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS

will define symbols for many Unix style TCPIP utilities. Use them exactly as you would on Linux.

If you mean "really" UCX, then some of the utilities are there if you look. See if SYS$SYSTEM:UCX$.EXE is present and use it as a foreign command. For example:

$ nslookup=="$UCX$NSLOOKUP"
$ nslookup

John,

I am afraid that Wim needs the oposite. He knows how to manage UCX and wants the equivalent commands on Linux.

Wim,

Maybe looking at the TCPIP Tuning and Troubleshooting manual

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732final/6631/6631pro.html

you can find some references. The tcpip management on Linux is not concentrated in one program (as UCX or TCPIP on VMS) but you have many programs and files. For example:
UCX> SET HOST name /ADDRESS=
is done with editing the /etc/hosts file on Linux. Most of the services are managed thru the xinetd (or inetd on older versions) daemon, which is configured with many files which are in /etc/xinetd.d.
Routes and gateways are configured with the route command, but this is volatile and if you want to make this permanent you must modify the scripts which are int /etc/sysconfig.

It is not what I was looking for but it may be interresting to others.
