practise and self explore, is the only way for you to get lead in Unix. Trust me everyone do the same. no matter what OS it is. anyway a suggestion search the forum or check the FAQ Threads for your nearest answer. or more best if you could visit the vendors webpage. On your case solaris, http://docs.sun.com
