Sorry Paula, have to disagree with you - everyone know's that the answer to everything is Micro$oft. World hunger, the ozone layer, traffic jams - you name it, they'll patch it.

Hi to all

I have been moving jobs - Now working freelance and at present designing magic illusions and technical advisor to large entertainment organisiation.

Very little Unix but lots of fun.

Hope everyone is well ----

A loss for Unix, a gain for entertainment.

Re: Some fun for a Tuesday

I have a test I wrote for Unix, which I never expect more than 50% on. It's similar questioning, but covering commands in at least 2 Unices.

How many of you can answer these in HP-UX and Solaris I wonder?

Not bragging at all... I could not do some in Solaris, nor some in HP-UX. Good way to learn the other OS is to try though ;) Gets ya readin them man pages again!



Hi Paula! Sounds like a fun job! Bit more active I imagine than camping the server room and roasting marshmallows over the space heater! ;) Glad your doing well!
Microsoft. When do you want a virus today?

Hi Shannon

Nice to hear from you,

yes this job is very different at the moment playing with a 12 thousand Watt sound system and a 50K lighting rig.

Re: Some fun for a Tuesday

Hi Sean,

well, I'll try my very best:

#1: done. They produce output
#2: about 700 on one of my systems (fields/line * lines)
#3: Steven's SHell - too bad it's not SSH ;-)
#4: anglosaxons only - no germans (no umlauts, too short for decent german names - look at my official name), no french or spain (no accents), no asians
#5: about 2000 pages AFAIK
#6: about 200 pages?
#7: never - don't use csh
#8: 10 years of progress?
#9: none - you don't dare using it these days
#10: for Merijn (=procura) maybe a perl script with about 20 operators, for me "devnm"
#11: usually an additional i-node and an additional data-block
#12: error, confusion, trouble
#13: set it carefully - very, very carefully!
#14: rest in peace
#15: 27 (in decimal)
#16: 10 years of nomenclatur? the whole ISO-OSI commitee?
#17: a value other than 0 if you want to use the effect
#18: litres of strong coffee
#19:

#20: in the immediate neighbourhood of its friends cc, ld, ar, and make?
#21: not in the same place, of course (SunOs being the outsider, as usually)
#22: on my screen (after "grep"ing for it in "yerrno.h")
#23: education and experience (to not use the former immediately)
#24: enable hacker's access!
#25: on a HFS with "/sbin/link", on a VxFS your do it in a somewhat softer manner
#26: network-newbies (the rest of us uses CIDR)
#27: to B or not to B?
#28: d(){sh $1.shar;gtar xzf $1;};d neattoy.tar.gz
#29: at your own risk!
#30: you'be got me there :-(
#31: On HPUX? With LUNs? 15*8+15 - not counting the controller as a device itself
#32: seven is the lucky number
#33: ch{own|grp|mod}
#34: none for TP or WiFi, two for coax, one if it shouldn't work
#35: connect it to power and a SCSI-controller? Disconnect it from the sun first?
#36: backup to tape, move the disk, partition/format it, restore from tape ;-)
#37: SunOS or BSD information
#38: a lot of old-fashioned options
#39: diskinfo's output to screen, reading from screen afterwards
#40: !
#41: diskspace, lots of
#42: only guessing here: linefeeds, perhaps including carriage returns - but isn't that more a Linux questions today???
#43: lpadmin
#44: in /usr - the linker, compiler, archiver, preprocessor as those *build* the kernel. That stuff in /stand is only used to have the kernel FROM it ;-)
#45: working ones in a LAN
#46: dangerous!!!
#47: Why would you not use PPP instead of SLIP? or at least CSLIP???
#48: correct, i.e. not out of the box :-(
#49: just the reverse reason to using the option "-s"
#50: HPUX-admins: exportfs, Windows-admins: reboot
#51: by reading "fstab(4)" sorting at column 5 (counting zero-based, as we all do)
#52: v1: yes, v2: no, v3: no, v4: next year (maybe)
#53: the latter
#54: resolv.conf with ("name" or "search") and "nameserver"
#55: useless?
#56: -v ? why not "postfix"? or "qmail"?
#57: not neccessarily Steven's, but always one with a two-letter name
#58: $ # @
#59: shebang notation
#60: M$ WinWord! Did actually work sometimes...
#61: users don't have mail loops, mail-server could, though

Where's the beer, now?
Do I get some peanuts for seriousness? Dry-roasted, please (it's been a long time since I've been in a pub in ireland, wales, or cornwall, well - even london)
