"Officially" the H50 supports AIX, nothing else. Linux might work (even though it is not supported by IBM, thats the "official" part) and maybe some BSD variant (none of which i have experience with, YOYO*) ) will do, but nothing of these is guaranteed to work. At the time the system was built and sold the open source software was perceived (by the managers) more as a nuisance which will go away if one closes the eyes hard enough.
I have seen countless web servers with critical documentation and/or services or other very useful systems sit peacefully under someones desk running some Linux. Usually, sooner or later the managers got word about this, shutting it down immediately and "migrating" the service to one of their official Windoze-IIS-blabla hosts, where it usually ran on ten times the resources with about 10% of the service still usable. In most cases, after some time passed, a scrap machine with some Linux was built under someones desk and brought to do what was really needed.
Well, i don't want to bore you with my stories of yore. You probably understand by now why for your system Linux (and other alternative OSes) are not really documented with How-Tos and/or similar documents.
I hope this helps.

I am trying to find PCI Ethernet cards that are compatible with the IBM RISC 6000 - B50 Power PC. None of the regular NIC's seem to have AIX drivers. Does anyone know of AIX drivers for standard PCI Ethernet NIC's or a non IBM NIC that works with the Model B50 at 10/100 MB ? (0 Replies)

Hi all,
I have a H50 server in a remote location and the cron has the power failure line entered. There is nothing in errpt so I suspect this may have been added some time ago.
How can I determine the status of the power supplies remotely?

getservent
GETSERVENT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GETSERVENT(3)
NAME
getservent, getservbyname, getservbyport, setservent, endservent - get service entry
SYNOPSIS
#include <netdb.h>
struct servent *getservent(void);
struct servent *getservbyname(const char *name, const char *proto);
struct servent *getservbyport(int port, const char *proto);
void setservent(int stayopen);
void endservent(void);
DESCRIPTION
The getservent() function reads the next line from the file /etc/services and returns a structure servent containing the broken out fields
from the line. The /etc/services file is opened if necessary.
The getservbyname() function returns a servent structure for the line from /etc/services that matches the service name using protocol
proto. If proto is NULL, any protocol will be matched.
The getservbyport() function returns a servent structure for the line that matches the port port given in network byte order using protocol
proto. If proto is NULL, any protocol will be matched.
The setservent() function opens and rewinds the /etc/services file. If stayopen is true (1), then the file will not be closed between
calls to getservbyname() and getservbyport().
The endservent() function closes /etc/services.
The servent structure is defined in <netdb.h> as follows:
struct servent {
char *s_name; /* official service name */
char **s_aliases; /* alias list */
int s_port; /* port number */
char *s_proto; /* protocol to use */
}
The members of the servent structure are:
s_name The official name of the service.
s_aliases
A zero terminated list of alternative names for the service.
s_port The port number for the service given in network byte order.
s_proto
The name of the protocol to use with this service.
RETURN VALUE
The getservent(), getservbyname() and getservbyport() functions return the servent structure, or a NULL pointer if an error occurs or the
end of the file is reached.
FILES
/etc/services
services database file
