Sun quick tips
3 messages in this thread
Larry, as part of my C programming course at Northeastern University, I
have been given an account on their Sun system. Can you provide me with
some of the simplest system commands until I get the necessary
documentation? For example, directory, access to a help file, very generic
type stuff.
Basically, SunOS is unix, so the standard Unix stuff will do the trick.
dir – ls
type – cat
delete – rm
cd – cd (use pwd to find out where you are currently)
On line help is normally available (if it was loaded onto the disk) as
man
Syntax is 'man command'
Where command is any program name… so to find out more about ls, you would
type 'man ls'.
Any Unix book will give you the commands you need, and the cheapest way is
to find the Sun Manuals or pick up one of those pocket ref guides for Unix.
Have fun!
