Huge. I was amazed at the different commands for system administration. Commands to look at different aspects of the system used in Solaris just aren't there - the commands, not the ability to view the same type of info. Just different way of doing it. Stuff like prtdiag, prtvtoc, psrinfo, ... is just not there. This page may be helpful - unixguide.net

AIX has an unbelievable amount of lsxxx commands. I only worked with it for a short time so didn't gather a great deal of experience with it, but there is a great GUI interface for administration. Very different way of doing administration - smit was one of the tools - I'm not sure if that was the 'running man' one or not. (You click your options, hit run, and this 'running man' would run while waiting for the command to finish...very irratating. One good thing about it, it would show you the command line (if you so desire) of what you just ran.

HP-UX - use SAM for adding users, printers and such. Better than admintool (don't remember if it's a true GUI interface ).
You can probably search through this site for HP-UX for other commands (a good monitor tool is glance). HP-UX is different but not as much of a shock as AIX was.

The link I put in will show you how different each one is just for those commands/styles of doing things. Get a book on each or start looking at the different links to get more of an education. You'll be sweating it out the first few months, but you'll be better off in the long run. You never know when someone will need a person with all three and you'll be one up on the competition.

ltpadmin

LTPADMIN(1)							  LTP executables						       LTPADMIN(1)

NAME

       ltpadmin - ION Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP) administration interface

SYNOPSIS

       ltpadmin [ commands_filename | . ]

DESCRIPTION

       ltpadmin configures, starts, manages, and stops LTP operations for the local ION node.

       It operates in response to LTP configuration commands found in the file commands_filename, if provided; if not, ltpadmin prints a simple
       prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into standard input.  If commands_filename is a period (.), the effect is the same
       as if a command file containing the single command 'x' were passed to ltpadmin -- that is, the ION node's ltpclock task, ltpmeter tasks,
       and link service adapter tasks are stopped.

       The format of commands for commands_filename can be queried from ltpadmin with the 'h' or '?' commands at the prompt.  The commands are
       documented in ltprc(5).

EXIT STATUS

       0 Successful completion of LTP administration.

EXAMPLES

       ltpadmin
	   Enter interactive LTP configuration command entry mode.

       ltpadmin host1.ltp
	   Execute all configuration commands in host1.ltp, then terminate immediately.

       ltpadmin .
	   Stop all LTP operations on the local node.

FILES

       See ltprc(5) for details of the LTP configuration commands.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited.  If you edit the ltprc
       file on a Windows machine, be sure to use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to ltpadmin.  Otherwise ltpadmin
       will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily.

       The following diagnostics may be issued to the logfile ion.log:

       ltpadmin can't attach to ION.
	   There is no SDR data store for ltpadmin to use.  You should run ionadmin(1) first, to set up an SDR data store for ION.

       Can't open command file...
	   The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist.

       Various errors that don't cause ltpadmin to fail but are noted in the ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given
       at the prompt or in the commands_filename file.	Please see ltprc(5) for details.
