HPUX Cheatsheet?

[Ron Kinner]

I'm starting a new job where I'm going to need to work with HPUX again. Haven't done much with it since about 11.0 and haven't touched a UNIX system in about 4 years.

I still remember the basics but would like a short list of useful admin commands to refresh my memory (and so I don't look like a total idiot the first time I log on).

Can anyone point me to a good site?

Ron

Hi Ron:

I think you will find the Managing Systems and Workgroups guide a useful review:

I have attached a doc I inherited from another sysadmin. I have made updates to it here and there. Feel free to do with it as you will. Some of the info maybe 10.20 specific. Anyway, I hope it provides some info for you.

Hi Ron,

See this thread:

When it comes to learning new commands, I like to do an 'ls' on '/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin', or another directory in ${PATH}, choose an unfamiliar command, and look up the relevant man page.

Shalom,

google search with the site:hp.com directive on the end.

My ITRC favorites folder is a great cheat sheet.
