Perl - /etc/shadow - Permission Denied Solaris honors setuid for me. try 'chmod a+sx test-script.pl'. Adding a user who should be able to to read the shadow file to the shadow group is probably a better solution, though. |

Why `host` and `nslookup` on Solaris 10 resolves hostnames while `ping` and `telnet` does not? @AdamSiemion keep in mind that many of Solaris' largest customers are closed environments where DNS may not necessarily be used, and instead NIS holds sway. (or LDAP sometimes). Sun used to focus most of it's energy on it's top 50 customers. DNS stuff was added for the rest of their customers, but not made the default, because revenue from the top 50 > the rest. Oracle likely plays a similar game. |

Automating tasks on a website on a headless server You can use the Firefox Live HTTP Headers plugin to record a session between your browser and the website, so that you understand the full path interaction, too. What cookies do you need to store? Present? What forms are called with what variables and hidden variables, etc. Once you have all that, it should be achievable to automate the task. |

Portable way to get script's absolute path? i like it! so far, that's pretty portable. works on Solaris, OmniOS, Linux, Mac, and even Cygwin on Windows 2008. |

Is it common to split larger script into multiple scripts and source them in the main script? especially given that even the older OSes like Solaris are shipping with perl, and python, etc, now. one reason older systems used shell scripts is that the shell was guaranteed to always be available, but bigger Unices, like HP-UX and Solaris, and AIX, couldn't be guaranteed to include other tools. |

Setting file permissions in bash script @JamesAndino the /o=rwx filter is a permissions filter that looks for r(read), w(write),x(execute) bits being set. The o means to compare the filter to the other field. You could also specify u for user, or g for group. or combinations, like -perm -u=rwx,o=rwx to match on both the user and group permissions. |

What is rpc.statd, what ports should it be listening on, and how to kill it? Yes. The NFS client will use rpc.statd and portmapper, both. |

Utility script framework +1 for script templates. the real key is education of those writing scripts. define policies, eg: All scripts will send email on failure. All scripts will log output to /var/log/scriptname.log. All scripts will rotate X iterations of logfiles. etc. |
