Another solution is...
Then you can ask the server1 from other server like this:
Of course now normal finger will not work.
I'm not sure is there any security issue with that solution. But if your network is secure, then it works fine.
Above example is for Solaris10.
On Solaris 9 you can just edit /etc/inetd.conf.
On Solaris 11 I cat't find finger :/
Can someone tell me the command to display the info about the CPU? I need the CPI id.. of my SUN box. Solaris 8.
It's some totally un-intuitive command, and i can't recall it.
tnx. (3 Replies)
Hi all,
I've searched around and not found any specific solution to my problem, so wondered if someone out there could help.
I'm in the process of migrating some shell scripts from HP UNIX to AIX and one of the scripts uses the 'logname' command.
On HP 'logname' returns the login name,... (8 Replies)
My Linux system was last rebooted few hours ago.
But it seems little confusing for me to figure out the exact reason behind it.
I guess following command should justify what i meant to say.

Hi!
I want to extract the uptime from the output of the uptime command.
The output:
11:53 up 3:02, 2 users, load averages: 0,32 0,34 0,43
I just need the "3:02" part. How can I do this?

Hello folks,
uptime command not shows how long the system has been up.
I know it come from a corruption of /var/adm/utmpx file.
I've done :
cat /dev/null > /var/adm/utmpx
Now who and last commands work fine. But uptime still give me back an answer without the "up time".
In which... (6 Replies)

OK folks, my first post here.. hope the community can come up with a clever solution. Cross posting this in the Solaris and Shell scripting forums, as problem is scripting problem specifically on Solaris platform.

How to find Physical server uptime from HMC/ ASMI.

fingerd
in.fingerd(1M) System Administration Commands in.fingerd(1M)NAME
in.fingerd, fingerd - remote user information server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/in.fingerd
DESCRIPTION
fingerd implements the server side of the Name/Finger protocol, specified in RFC 742. The Name/Finger protocol provides a remote interface
to programs which display information on system status and individual users. The protocol imposes little structure on the format of the
exchange between client and server. The client provides a single command line to the finger server which returns a printable reply.
fingerd waits for connections on TCP port 79. Once connected, it reads a single command line terminated by RETURN-LINEFEED and passes the
arguments to finger(1), prepended with -s. fingerd closes its connections as soon as the output is finished.
FILES
/var/adm/utmpx User and accounting information.
/etc/passwd System password file.
/var/adm/lastlog Last login times.
$HOME/.plan User's plans.
$HOME/.project User's projects.
USAGE
fingerd and in.fingerd are IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).

NOTES
Connecting directly to the server from a TIP or an equally narrow-minded TELNET-protocol user program can result in meaningless attempts at
option negotiation being sent to the server, which foul up the command line interpretation. fingerd should be taught to filter out IAC's
and perhaps even respond negatively (IAC does not) to all option commands received.
The in.fingerd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/network/finger:default
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil-
ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config-
uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
