If I'm logged in under csh, how do I view the last, say, 10 to 50 commands that I've typed in the shell? Also, if I'm logged in as root, how do I view the last 10 to 50 commands that I've typed in the shell? Thanks.

hello , Tomorrow I plan to mirror a 36GB on a mailhost on a E250 with Solaris 9 DiskSuite .
My idea is to stop Postfix ,stop pop, stop nfs server,nfs client ...
and run the appropriate commands but I would like to know if someone has an idea of how much time it will take to create the mirror for a disk with a used of about 50% . This will help me to annonce to the users if the server wil be stopped during 1 , 2 or 3 hours .
Note : this will be done on command line .
Thanks in advance for help.... read more

xlsfonts shows me a font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1, but I'm interested in a Latin-9 version of it.
Am I just missing some package or patch, or is it something more complicated? Kai sally% uname -a SunOS sally 5.9 Generic_117171-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-e2

Can anyone recommend a cheap readily available scsi adapter I can plug into a Blade 100.
Just want to play about with it to learn more about SCSI on a sparc machine so high performance is not necessary.
TIA Paul

Hi.
Here's my question (sorry if OT, i don't think so but..).
I've got solaris 9 x86 installed on a 9gb ide disk on primary slave.
On primay master I've got a 120gb ide disk with only one NTFS primary partition.
I would like to create a partition of 9 gb that could be seen under Solaris in order to use it as a mirror with Solaris Volume Manager (ex SDS).
Now...how could I do it and what kind of requirements should have this partition? I've got Partition Magic 8 but the only a.... read more

How do we find out what Garbage collection Algorithm is used by the JVM that I have in my machine?

I've got myself into a bind. The installation disk that I have for an old tadpole portable is based on sol9 release 0404. It will not except the newer sol9 0904 software disks that I have.
First, can I override the installation program when it will only except a 0404 disk? Or, is there a place on the web to find the 0404 sol9 release? I've searched at sun and can only find the latest.
Thanks, Mark

I've installed SunCluster 3.1 u2 on two Solaris 8 Sun Sparc machines (two E220R), single CPU, with 2GB RAM. Both have QFE interface (heartbit on 0 & 1, direct attached). Both are connected to a shared storage (IBM FastT200) via Qlogic2200F, seeing all the volumes, etc.

Hi all, I have some problems using 2 static libraries where one depends on the other.
Lets say we have static libraries sl1.a and sl2.a. sl2.a exports symbol sym2 which is required by sl1.a.
If I link a object file test.o, which does not(!!) import symbols from both libraries, with these 2 shared libraries, I get an unresolved symbol for sym2.
AFAIK, the linker copies the code from shared libraries into the binary if required. So it should work fine So what is going on here?? And is there any li.... read more
