There is a list of the fields held in an inode in "man inode".
Running a basic editor such as "vi" to change the contents of a file will change the inode number of that file. Try it.
The point was made above but it is very important to understand that inode numbers are only unique within a filesystem. If you are searching for inodes using "find /filesystem -inum" always use the "-xdev" switch to confine your search to that filesystem.
I am trying to add a permanent route on my server, but whenever i reboot it dissapears.
Please does anyone know the correct command to use.

On AIX 5.2 as root, installed Seamonkey and have to type
#/seakey/seamonkey/seamonkey to get it to run, which it does okay.
To set up a permanent alias, I did the following

alias seamk='/seakey/seamonkey/seamonkey'
and saved it to /home/alias_file
(2) In a text editor... (7 Replies)
Hi guys,
I'm running Solars 8 on a V100 server at home for testing.
If I switch user to root and do:
# echo $PATH
This is the output:
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
I'm using rsync over ssh and need to add /usr/local/bin and /user/local/sbin.
I do this by running the line:

I have 84 files with the following names splitseqs.1, spliseqs.2 etc.
and I want to change the .number to a unique filename.
E.g.
change splitseqs.1 into splitseqs.7114_1#24
and
change spliseqs.2 into splitseqs.7067_2#4
So all the current file names are unique, so are the new file names.... (1 Reply)

clri
CLRI(8) BSD System Manager's Manual CLRI(8)NAME
clri -- clear an inode
SYNOPSIS
clri special_device inode_number ...
DESCRIPTION
Clri is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by fsck(8).
Clri zeros out the inodes with the specified inode number(s) on the filesystem residing on the given special_device. The fsck(8) utility is
usually run after clri to reclaim the zero'ed inode(s) and the blocks previously claimed by those inode(s). Both read and write permission
are required on the specified special_device.
The primary purpose of this routine is to remove a file which for some reason is not being properly handled by fsck(8). Once removed, it is
anticipated that fsck(8) will be able to clean up the resulting mess.
SEE ALSO fsck(8), fsdb(8), icheck(8), ncheck(8)BUGS
If the file is open, the work of clri will be lost when the inode is written back to disk from the inode cache.
