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 ->
On the AIX it outputs to "-e" but since RHEL has "-e" as an option for echo and hence it outputs to blank here.
All the code needs to be updated unless anyone here has a better option that you may have found in similar scenario.
Please suggest.
On Linux I could use the `watch` command to loop a command X times. Is there a similar command on AIX? If not, is there a way to write a loop on the command line to do this?
Linux: watch -d -n 60 'db2 list applications show detail | grep Connect | wc -l'

To list file permission/access right in octal format, linux has a command 'stat'. For example, we can use the followin -
stat -c %a `find . -type f
Is there any equivalent command in AIX and HP-UX to give the same result as linux 'stat' command?
Please advice. (3 Replies)
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).... (1 Reply)
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!!!

echo
ECHO(1) BSD General Commands Manual ECHO(1)NAME
echo -- write arguments to the standard output
SYNOPSIS
echo [-n] [string ...]
DESCRIPTION
The echo utility writes any specified operands, separated by single blank (' ') characters and followed by a newline ('
') character, to the
standard output.
The following option is available:
-n Do not print the trailing newline character. This may also be achieved by appending 'c' to the end of the string, as is done by iBCS2
compatible systems. Note that this option as well as the effect of 'c' are implementation-defined in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001
(``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002. Applications aiming for maximum portability are strongly encouraged to use printf(1) to sup-
press the newline character.
Some shells may provide a builtin echo command which is similar or identical to this utility. Most notably, the builtin echo in sh(1) does
not accept the -n option. Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
EXIT STATUS
The echo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO builtin(1), csh(1), printf(1), sh(1)STANDARDS
The echo utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002.
