HI,

I'm porting some scripts from solaris to Linux. As this group is not
related to both, I need your help in analysing the difference in
commands. I have stated what I have tried to analise:

Solaris Linux

gzcat Not found. Can be replaced by zcat.


cfgadm Not found. hotplug and udev (No idea what are these.
Can be replaced in Linux ??)

dispadmin Process sceduling. Can be replaced by nice??. Not sure.

lu Live upgrade. No idea about alternative in Linux


Please analyse this and let me know about the other alternatives,

You should probably ask in a Linux group. We don't know that much about
"the other side" here... ;)

But for lu I think there are zypper for Suse although not as advanced.

One of the problems you are up to is that there are not one Linux. Most
distributions have their own tricks for advanced system administration.

Depends on the distribution.
There is zypper (SLES) and yum (redhat,fedora).
Synaptics and apt-get exist as well. All versions require a definition
of the repositories first to work properly.
They cannot be compared directly with live upgrade or pkgadm/patchadm,
but are a kind of mixture of them with dependancy checking.

And they are all just package management frameworks which Live Upgrade
is not. They are just completely different things.

I don't thing Live Upgrade equivalent just exist in the linux world.

This depends on linux distribution (apt subcommand for debian based, yum
subcommand for redhat based, emerge subcommand for gentoo...)
