HP-UX 10.2 and 11

[Stephan Wald]

Hi everyone,

we have just finished compilation of a tool for remote control and reocnnect of broken telnet sessions on HP-UX 10.20 (thanks to HP for the box!) . It just goes between inetd and telnetd. Does anyone know if it should run on HP-UX 11 without change, or should we do a recompile on 11 ?

Regards

Yes, it should run fine in most cases. According to the 11.0 release notes:

3.1.5.1 HP-UX 10.x Applications on HP-UX 11.0

HP-UX 11.0 provides compatibility for the great majority of applications
that compile and run on HP-UX 10.x releases. Most applications will be
source compatible for both 32-bit and 64-bit HP-UX 11.0. For binary
compatibility, most 32-bit applications will run on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0.
32-bit applications will also run on 64-bit HP-UX 11.0, with a few
exceptions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE

You do not have to port most software to run it on HP-UX 11.0. The majority
of 10.x software will run acceptably on 11.0 without source changes or
recompilation.


Of course, you will not be able to take advantage of the new 11.0 features such as kernel threads and 64bit without recompiling.

Regards,
Steve
