AIX and Linux difference (character set)
I'm having a problem regarding the encoding of my files in Linux and AIX.
I have a file which can be viewed both in Linux and AIX (via NetApp mount). When I checked the encoding, they have difference.
In Linux, the file is encoded as ISO-8859 text. (checked by using "file" command). However, in AIX, the is encoded as ascii text. The file contains the characters "Æ, Ø, Ò, Ò, etc). I'm not sure if this is a OS difference. My assumption is that the Linux can decode the characters stated above, while in AIX is not.
Can someone please enlighten me?

Please ignore the title. It should be AIX and Linux difference.

Hi All,
The scripts developed in AIX can be executed in Red Hat Linux too? Because, we are migrating OS from AIX to LINUX.
Will there be any differences in commands?
Thanks in advance!!!

10. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
Moving from AIX 6.1 to RHEL 6.6, I have noticed a few command differences.
One that has been causing issue is a simple echo command when I have to use it this way -> "echo -e"
On the AIX it outputs to "-e" but since RHEL has "-e" as an option for echo and hence it outputs to blank here.

set_color
set_color(1) fish set_color(1) NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color set_color - set the terminal color Synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR] Description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, cyan, white and normal. o -b, --background Set the background color o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names o -h, --help Display help message and exit o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode o -u, --underline Set underlined mode o -v, --version Display version and exit Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal. Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color. Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator. set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue. Version 1.23.1 Sun Jan 8 2012 set_color(1)
