Use ksh instead bash. You are probably used to ksh anyway when you come from AIX and it is available on every Linux since some time now. When using ksh you have the shell-internal "print" for output. It allows to explicitly end options by using a single dash:
will output "foo bar" to stderr (-u2) but:
will write "-u2 foo bar" to stdout, because "-u2" is no longer considered an option.
Per default i use it that way, especially if i do not know what a variable i want to display contains:
Even if "$var" contains options to "print" they will be ignored.
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'

How to convert this linux command to Unix AIX?
I have tried this command and work in CentOS:

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!!!

text::glob
Text::Glob(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::Glob(3pm)NAME
Text::Glob - match globbing patterns against text
SYNOPSIS
use Text::Glob qw( match_glob glob_to_regex );
print "matched
" if match_glob( "foo.*", "foo.bar" );
# prints foo.bar and foo.baz
my $regex = glob_to_regex( "foo.*" );
for ( qw( foo.bar foo.baz foo bar ) ) {
print "matched: $_
" if /$regex/;
}
DESCRIPTION
Text::Glob implements glob(3) style matching that can be used to match against text, rather than fetching names from a filesystem. If you
want to do full file globbing use the File::Glob module instead.
Routines
match_glob( $glob, @things_to_test )
Returns the list of things which match the glob from the source list.
glob_to_regex( $glob )
Returns a compiled regex which is the equivalent of the globbing pattern.
glob_to_regex_string( $glob )
Returns a regex string which is the equivalent of the globbing pattern.
SYNTAX
The following metacharacters and rules are respected.
"*" - match zero or more characters
"a*" matches "a", "aa", "aaaa" and many many more.
"?" - match exactly one character
"a?" matches "aa", but not "a", or "aaa"
Character sets/ranges
"example.[ch]" matches "example.c" and "example.h"
"demo.[a-c]" matches "demo.a", "demo.b", and "demo.c"
alternation
"example.{foo,bar,baz}" matches "example.foo", "example.bar", and "example.baz"
leading . must be explictly matched
"*.foo" does not match ".bar.foo". For this you must either specify the leading . in the glob pattern (".*.foo"), or set
$Text::Glob::strict_leading_dot to a false value while compiling the regex.
"*" and "?" do not match /
"*.foo" does not match "bar/baz.foo". For this you must either explicitly match the / in the glob ("*/*.foo"), or set
$Text::Glob::strict_wildcard_slash to a false value with compiling the regex.
BUGS
The code uses qr// to produce compiled regexes, therefore this module requires perl version 5.005_03 or newer.
