Re: VMS commands similar to Unix commands

Hello,

pretty much all of your questions were
covered already.

Two small additions:

> ls -lt |grep " "

pipe dir | search sys$pipe: " "

OTOH since you can give filespecs with pretty
complicated wildcards directly to dir you rarely will need to use this.

Cron: Ususally time-scheduled jobs are done on VMS from within the executing DCL itself.
If you do really look for a "Cron" check out

(The link to the NASA site is broken, but you can get local copies of the sources.)
