    Linux/Solaris Comparison

    sirius2, a Linux-based server is an upgrade for sirisuc, a Solaris-based server that has now been decommissioned. While most of the command line utilities commonly used are similar for these two platforms, you might encounter a few differences. Here is short list of equivalent commands for Solaris and Linux

    Solaris Linux Description
    ps -ef ps -aux List process status for all running processes
    nawk awk/gawk Pattern scanning and processing language
    gzcat file | tar -xvf - tar -xzvf file Unbundle a compressed tar file
    truss strace Trace system calls and signals
