Solaris Basic Administration Scripts - I

This document contains separate shell scripts that are capable of doing some of the basic administrative tasks, so that you can simulate some of the functions like User, Group, File Management, Determining Network traffic, changing the IP of the machine etc. Each and every file given here is internally linked so that they work as a loop. They form Main Menu, Sub Menu and the respective functions. Please follow the instructions given below to make the script work effectively. Basic Instructions: 1. Copy the given scripts one at a time and edit it in VI Editor, 2. File names are already defined, so they must be saved in that name only, 3. All the files should reside under a single directory. 4. User may need to edit the first line of the script after pasting it into VI Editor. Because first few letters of the first line would always be missed while pasting it in Editor. Please ensure it.
