AIX

hi,

What's "sleepless 15" and "autoload sleepless" in AIX shell programming?

Can't find documentation.

Thanks in advance,
itik

There is an arcane tool, which is told exclusively from SysAdmins mouth to SysAdmins ear: its called "man pages" and only about a dozen people in the whole world know about its existence.

In this case: issue "man ksh" and find out about about the "autoload" keyword, which is used to load shell functions. From there the conclusion that "sleepless" could be such a shell function is of course farfetched and perhaps absolutely wrong.

Btw.: if i enter "autoload" in Google the fifth link to come up is:

functions, autoload -- display or modify KornShell functions and the fourth link is perlsub - perldoc.perl.org explaining a similar functionality for PERL. Google is your friend.
