comment How does systemd survive a kill -9?
@BruceEdiger - I tried it for an AIX server and an HP-UX one. Both returned an error message: kill: 1: 0403-068 The signal is invalid for this process OR kill: 1: The specified process does not exist. The man page specifically mentioned that this will return an error. I am told by a number of people that this could be done previously - but no one has succeeded in the past 10+ years.

comment Shell script to increment count of entries
The '%' (aka 'modulo') will divide the counter by 10 and give the remainer. So, therefore, each time the counter reaches a multiple of ten there will be no remainer (ie 0) and an email will be sent.

comment Solaris “clean” group files (or for that matter any text file)
You might want to keep the old group file as a back-out point just in case. Also before copying the new group file use the command 'grpck' to check if the new group file is actually valid.
