Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Difference between sun solaris and linux? Post 56475 by rhfrommn on Monday 4th of October 2004 10:15:36 AM

Solaris is a very high end commercial Unix. It is meant for running business applications, large databases like Oracle, and high end engineering graphics and other workstation apps like that. It isn't too appropriate for home use. It is overkill and also lacks some of the ease-of-use features that Linux offers.

If you are interested in learning about it download the free x86 version and give it a try, but if you're looking for your main OS to use I wouldn't suggest it for home.

If you want some details about their features go to www.sun.com. They are releasing Solaris 10 soon, so you can see lots of information about the features the new release will have. Some very interesting stuff like dtrace to watch the kernel as it runs for troubleshooting and performance purposes, zones which let you run completely independent instances of the OS on the same hardware concurrently, and lots of new security features.

package-appclient(1M)					    Application Server Utility					     package-appclient(1M)

NAME
package-appclient - packs the application client container libraries and jar files SYNOPSIS
package-appclient Use the package-appclient command to pack the application client container libraries and jar files into an appclient.jar file. The created file is located at appserver_install_dir/lib/appclient/appclient.jar. The appclient.jar file provides an application client container package targeted at remote hosts that do not contain a server installation. The appclient.jar archive contains native code and can be used on a target machine that is of similar architecture as the machine where it was produced. So, for example, an appclient.jar produced on a Solaris SPARC platform cannot be used on a Windows client machine. After copying the appclient.jar file to a remote location, unjar it to get a set of libraries and jar files in the appclient directory After unjarring on the client machine, modify appclient_install_dir/config/asenv.conf (asenv.bat for Windows) as follows: o set AS_WEBSERVICES_LIB to appclient_install_dir/lib o set AS_NSS to appclient_install_dir/lib (appclient_install_dirin for Windows) o set AS_IMQ_LIB to appclient_install_dir/imq/lib o set AS_INSTALL to appclient_install_dir o set AS_JAVA to your JDK 1.4 home directory o set AS_ACC_CONFIG to appclient_install_dir/config/sun-acc.xml Modify appclient_install_dir/config/sun-acc.xml as follows: o Ensure the DOCTYPE file references appclient_install_dir/lib/dtds o Ensure that target-server address attribute refrences the server machine. o Ensure that target-server port attribute refrences the ORB port on the remote machine. o Ensure that log-service references a log file; if the user wants to put log messages to a log file. Modify appclient_install_dir/bin/appclient (appclient.bat for Windows) as follows: o change token %CONFIG_HOME% to appclient_install_dir/config ATTRIBUTES
