shell script pointers
Hi folks, I have two systems running Unix and two systems running "that other" operating system. At the moment I am concentrating on learning as much as i can about unix. On of the things I have been doing that i find helpful is booting system 1 (solaris 8(intel)) then booting system 2 (mandrake 8.0) Then, from Linux, telnet into my solaris machine, cd to a directory 'logs/' then opening vi, and writing a small log file outlining what i hope to do this session and where i got last session. Don't ask me why, but it seems to help me stay focused and on track as i am doing all of this on my own and working construction full time so i cant attend classes or anything. But enough of that, what i want is a script to run on my linux box, as soon as i log in that will telnet into solaris and cd to the log/ directory, then open Vi with the filename in the date format (ie 04.27.2001),naturally, i would have to input usr/pass.

I use bash on both machines if that helps.

What i am not looking for is for someone to write it for me, but to give me some help as i go.

for example, everyone tells me not to use telnet because of poor security, to use SSh instead, can i use this with solaris? is there a better way? I am wondering if i can mount the log/ directory as a network mounted filesystem shared by both machines?

anyway, your thoughts are appreciated.

L Hutz

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)                                                                                                            install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris  invokes  the  Solaris  Install  program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris  exists  only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
