hi dukessd,

i haven't rebooted it yet - might look at trying that next. i see what you mean about andryk's file. But since i've relinked ksh and sh machine is working fine now. my cron jobs are running fine obviously cause cron uses the sh shell to run the commands as standard, but also my "man" command is outputting now. Where as it was going straight back to the command prompt now its showing the correct man pages ie man find actually displays details for find.

I am looking at reinstalling AIX 5.2 anyway just cause ive never installed AIX before so need the experience.

I'll try a reboot at some point first though and mail back the results if it works or not.

My other problem with installing monitor is that gcc isnt present - so i'll try that first lol

optisa

optisa(1)							   User Commands							 optisa(1)

NAME

       optisa - determine which variant instruction set is optimal to use

SYNOPSIS

       optisa instruction_set...

DESCRIPTION

       optisa  prints  which  instruction_set out of the ones specified in the command will perform best on  this machine.  In this case, ``best''
       is defined by the order	in which instruction set names are returned by	isalist(1). Possible  values  for  instruction_set  are  given	in
       isalist(5).

ATTRIBUTES

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

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWcsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	One of the  instruction_set values you specified is printed by this command.

       1	There is no output; that is, this machine cannot use any  instruction_set that you specified with the optisa command.

SEE ALSO

       isalist(1), uname(1), attributes(5), isalist(5)

NOTES

       optisa is preferable to	uname -p or  uname -m (see uname(1)) in determining which of several binary versions of a given program  should be
       used on the given machine.
