They are generally interchangable, however the curly braces disambiguate the variable, so for example:
Would return two different responses from the two echo statements as the first would attempt to echo the contents of the variable "varworld" which doesnt exist and is therefore empty. The second echo will work as designed.

Can anyone explain me the difference between difference between dmesg and /var/adm/messages in solaris. I tried to find out the difference but I didn't get much info on that. As per my knowledge both are used to check the logs.. (3 Replies)
The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux.
I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK.
Is there any other log file that contains the messages or is it just that Linux doesn't log great many things? (2 Replies)

snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8) System Manager's Manual snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)NAME
snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup
SYNOPSIS
snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]
DESCRIPTION
snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port. If port is not specified, defaults to 119. If server is
also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.
You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.
FILES CREATED
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup
Directory where articles will be stored.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial
Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port. The value is initialized to 0.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
If server is specified, is a symlink to /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does not already
exist. If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created. See also snsend.
