I need to spec a laptop for some Solaris development work I've got to do. I need something that will run Solaris 10 reasonably well - dual core with 4GB of memory is the sort of thing I'm aiming at. Solaris is a little bit picky about device support, so I'm hoping someone in the SO community has a solid recommendation on what works real...
I want to write a front-end to an application written in C/C++. I use Solaris 10 and plan to port the application to some other architectures (Windows first). ...
What's the current status of Mono's Platform Invoke implementation on Linux? And on Solaris? ...
I'm looking for some software that allows me to control a server based application, that is, there are bunch of interdependent processes that I'd like to be able to start up, shut down and monitor in a controller manner. I've come across programs like Autosys, but that's expensive and very much over the top for what I want. I've also se...
I'm trying to install 'quadrupel', a library that relies on ffmpeg on Solaris x86. I managed to build ffmpeg and its libraries live in /opt/gnu/lib and the includes are in /opt/gnu/include but when I try to build quadrupel, it can't find the ffmpeg headers. What flags/configuration is required to include those two directories in the pr...
I have an application that's a mix of Java and C++ on Solaris. The Java aspects of the code run the web UI and establish state on the devices that we're talking to, and the C++ code does the real-time crunching of data coming back from the devices. Shared memory is used to pass device state and context information from the Java code thro...
My project has some money to spend before the end of the fiscal year and we are considering replacing a Sun-Fire-V490 server we've had for a few years. One option we are looking at is the CoolThreads technology. All I know is the Sun marketing, which may not be 100% unbiased. Has anyone actually played with one of these? I suspect it...
If I issue the find command as follows: $find . -name *.ear It prints out: ./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear ./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear ./dir1/dir3/earFile1.ear What I want to 'print' to the command line is the name and the size: ./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear 5000 KB ./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear 5400 KB ./dir1/dir3/earFile1.ear 5400 KB ...
Has anyone got Sys::Syslog to work on Solaris? (I'm running Sys::Syslog 0.05 on Perl v5.8.4 on SunOS 5.10 on SPARC). Here's what doesn't work for me: openlog "myprog", "pid", "user" or die; syslog "crit", "%s", "Test from $0" or die; closelog() or warn "Can't close: $!"; system "tail /var/adm/messages"; Whatever I do, the closelog r...
I am involved in the process of porting a system containing several hundreds of ksh scripts from AIX, Solaris and HPUX to Linux. I have come across the following difference in the way ksh behaves on the two systems: #!/bin/ksh flag=false echo "a\nb" | while read x do flag=true done echo "flag = ${flag}" exit 0 On AIX, Solaris and ...
When i try to offline a disk in a zfs raidz pool (the raidz pool is not mirrored), zfs says that the disk cannot be taken offline because it has no valid mirror. Isn't one of the properties of raidz that it has a redundant disk (or even 2 disks in raidz2)...? ...
I need to figure out the hard drive name for a solaris box and it is not clear to me what the device name is. On linux, it would be something like /dev/hda or /dev/sda, but on solaris I am getting a bit lost in the partitions and what the device is called. I think that entries like /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 are the partitions, how is the whol...
Ok, I have been working with Solaris for a 10+ years, and have never seen this... I have a directory listing which includes both a file and subdirectory with the same name: -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 15922214 Nov 29 2006 msheehan drwxrwxrwx 12 msheehan sysadmin 2048 Mar 25 15:39 msheehan I use file to discover contents of ...
Conducting a user account cleanup accross Solaris and Redhat linux systems, many of which have a number of Samba shares. What preference do people have for creating the local unix accounts for non interactive Samba users? In particular, the shell entry: noshell nologin blank And why? JB ...
So I log into a Solaris box, try to start Apache, and find that there is already a process listening on port 80, and it's not Apache. Our boxes don't have lsof installed, so I can't query with that. I guess I could do: pfiles `ls /proc` | less and look for "port: 80", but if anyone has a better solution, I'm all ears! Even better if I...
I am looking for a command in Unix that returns the status of a process(active, dead, sleeping, waiting for another process, etc.) is there any available? A shell script maybe? ...
I have uncovered another problem in the effort that we are making to port several hundreds of ksh scripts from AIX, Solaris and HPUX to Linux. See here for the previous problem. This code: #!/bin/ksh if [ -a k* ]; then echo "Oh yeah!" else echo "No way!" fi exit 0 (when run in a directory with several files whose name starts ...

When working on a linx CShell u get the option to press the up / down arrows to select the last command/s typed or the Command Buffer. This even works on Windows. However this is not functional when working on Solaris, to which i recently switched. I am guessing that the shell is also a CShell. Please tell me what key combination is r...
