How to Know what Command are available?

andresguillen · #1 (**permalink**) 3 Weeks Ago

Hi Gurus of Unix, I have a question
I have a Server "SUNW, Ultra-80", I have the Paasword of user and the root. but when i put the following comand, appear the following:

# top
top: not found
# ntpq -p
ntpq: read: Connection refused

But, If I put the command in other machine (SUNW,A70 for example), these command function normally
The question: How Can I Know what commands are available in this machine, and if is posibble to install or enable more.

Regard
Andres

Fun question.

One way is to look at every directory in your $PATH.

If you are using bash, another way is to just type a letter and hit TAB twice.

Or, find your MAN or Info directory and peek around there.
