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. |

Line endings when using GNU Screen echo $TERM. probably a difference in the screen termcap entry, and whatever your TERM is when not running screen. |

How do I set an environment variable for sudo in MacOS? i upvoted for the intent of the answer, and because I learned something new. note that OP is asking about JAVA_HOME, not PATH, though that's trivial and the answer would be the same. |

Delete n minutes old file in solaris Depending on the version of Solaris being used, gfind may be there. Check /opt/sfw/bin, /usr/sfw/bin, and /opt/gnu/bin. |

Autofs home folders from solaris 11 No, the user's don't need to exist on the solaris server. If you're using NFSv3, though, you will need to chown the home directories to the right UID and GID, if you want the remote users to be able to read and write to them. If you're using NFSv4, you can accomplish similar results setting ZFS ACLs for the read1 and read2 users ( chmod A+user:$UID:full_set:fd:allow /export/home/$dir). I was unclear in my answer. |

Writing /dev/random to file? @tkbx well, i'm dating myself, but back in the day you could cat a file to /dev/audio, and if it was a sound file (.wav) it would get played. |

`solaris + xargs command for solaris see if your system has gxargs, possibly in /usr/sfw/bin, or /opt/sfw/bin. Then you can use the GNU specific options. |

RAID 1 + 0, Solaris 10 it's not SDS, but you can do that with ZFS. zpool create tank mirror c1t2d0 c1t3d0 mirror c1t4d0 c1t5d0. do you absolutely have to use older-style SDS metadevices? |

Writing /dev/random to file? @BobRoberts I has similar adventures, with similar outcomes. I also used to ssh into colleagues' linux workstations and cat DTMF tones to the internal speaker, then play a busy tone, so it sounded like their PC was trying to FAX something out. Ah, good times. |
