should install the AT&T ksh93, that is quite compatible with the ksh88 in Solaris 10.
Then syntax-check your scripts with
Code:
ksh -nx /path/to/script
Most should pass.
Also most most GNU standard tools ("ls", "find", "grep", "sed", "awk","perl") are compatible with Unix.
But be careful - especially when running as root - better run the scripts as non-root so a run-away script cannot damage your system.
When it comes to OS-specific things there is less compatibility. E.g. a "df -k" can work, but a simple "df" is quite different.
Migrating from sendmail on SUN Solaris to POSTFIX on Linux.
I have been asked to migrate our sendmail to postfix on Linux and would appreciate and information. Hints and tips on the process involved.
Perhaps any links to useful site or documentation that you may know about.

Hiya,
Is there a known method from converting LVM data to VxVM data..
ie we have a load of local and SAN (HPDM) mounts on RHEL 4u5/5u1 servers which are now required to be clustered with SFS (VxFS,VxVM,CFS,VCS etc)
I've come across the vxvmconvert, but thought that was HP-UX only?

Hi Oracle Linux users,
You can probably guess from the title what the question is:
Does anyone know if Oracle Linux (the Unbreakable variety I think that is) comes in a
SPARC release or, if not, will there be one some time soon ?
Many thanks,

Hello all, thanks for reading my question:
So I've been a Unix/Linux SysAdmin for a couple years, and I'm a bit over my head running solo, trying to set up LDoms using Oracle VM Server 3.1 for SPARC. I've been very careful, and things have gone well up until the point I try to access the new... (9 Replies)

dtc_install_centos
dtc_install_centos(8) System Manager's Manual dtc_install_centos(8)NAME
dtc_install_centos - bootstrap a CentOS install to use in a chroot or VM
SYNOPSIS
dtc_install_centos <install root> <yum environment>
DESCRIPTION
This shell script is part of the dtc-xen package, generally to be used by the dtc panel to install a new a Xen VPS server. This script is
called by dtc_reinstall_os when the user chooses to install the CentOS operating system.
How it works: it generates a temporary yum configuration in the yum environment directory, that directs yum to act inside the install root
instead of in the base system; then it kindly requests yum to install the basesystem, centos-release and yum packages onto it. Yum then
uses the configuration to download the required (usually, security-updated) packages and then perform the RPM installation process under
the install root.
It requires both RPM and yum. It does work under Debian (it was developed in Ubuntu first). It should also work on RPM-based systems
without destroying the system-wide RPM and yum configurations.
OPTION
<install root>
Target directory where CentOS will be deployed. Must exist beforehand.
<yum environment>
Directory where yum will store the repository manifests and configuration. Will be automatically created. Cached RPMs and manifests will
be left, as usual, in a directory var/cache/yum inside the install root.
EXAMPLE
dtc_install_centos /root/yum /xen/13
This will setup the operating system in /xen/13, with the CentOS configuration folder in /root/yum.
BUGS
It's limited to CentOS 5 at the moment.
It must be run as root.
Under some circumstances, the installation process itself may kill processes running on the host machine. The chroot yum does should be
sufficient to avoid this, but we haven't been able, yet, to ascertain why this fails sometimes.
