Appendix A Commands Reference Table
This appendix contains a user and system administration commands reference table that lists all SunOS release 4 command interfaces and shows their status in the Solaris 7 environment and the SunOS/BSD Source Compatibility Package.
Using the Reference Table
-
If an interface is listed as changed (C), a brief description of differences between SunOS release 4 command and the Solaris 7 command is provided.
-
If an interface is listed as the same (S), the Solaris 7 interface supports all features of the SunOS release 4 interface. In some cases the interface has been enhanced, but can be considered a complete superset of the SunOS release 4 interface.
-
If an interface has an alternative (A), check the Notes section for its replacement.
-
If an interface is listed as not available (N), check the Notes section for information about its replacement. Replacement commands, when available, are also shown in the SunOS release 5.7 column.
Note - The SunOS release 5.7 directory structure is different than the SunOS release 4 structure; some commands behave the same, but have a different path name. For example, the SunOS release 4 /usr/etc/newfs command now resides in /usr/sbin/newfs, but the interface has not changed. This command, and others like it, are considered the same (S) according to this table's guidelines.
Commands that exist in both /usr/bin and /usr/5bin have two table entries, the first documents the /usr/bin command, and the second entry documents the /usr/5bin command.
For complete information on all Solaris 7 interfaces, see man Pages(1): User Commands.

|
The init 0 command provides
similar capabilities
|
S
|
The fasthalt command is not available in the Solaris 7 base release. This command is available if you install the SunOS/BSD Compatibility package on your system. The init 0 command replaces fasthalt. If you use the compatibility package fasthalt command in scripts or applications, they will not work on other SVR4 systems. Compatibility package commands can be found in /usr/ucb on systems that have this package installed, and they are documented in section 1B of man Pages(1): User Commands; for example, fasthalt (1B).

|
C
|
The C compiler is not available in the SunOS release 5.7 software. A C compiler is available with the SunOS/BSD Compatibility package, but it requires the unbundled C compiler and does not provide the same interface and output as the SunOS release 4 compiler.

|
date (1V)
|
C
|
The format used when setting the date is slightly different in SunOS release 5.7. See the date(1) man page for more information.
|
N
|
The SunOS release 4 software had two date commands: /usr/5bin/date (compared in the SysV entry) and /usr/bin/date (compared in the second entry). The /usr/5bin/date command is identical to the SunOS release 5.7 command. If you had /usr/5bin in your path before /usr/bin, you will not notice any difference in this command in the SunOS release 5.7 software. If you are accustomed to using the SunOS release 4 /usr/bin/date command, you should look at the SunOS release 5.7 date (1) man page before attempting to set the date on your system.

There are two versions of nice in SunOS release 4 system software, one built into the csh and one installed under /usr/bin. The default process priority for the command built into csh is
4, and the default value for /usr/bin/nice is 10. The SunOS release 5.7 command defaults to 10. The SunOS release 4 command that is built into the csh uses a slightly different syntax than the SunOS release 4 command found in /usr/bin, in that the additional -+ option (nice -+n) sets the nice value to n rather than incrementing it by n.

The function of the -l option differs between the versions. In the SunOS release 4 software, changing addr does not take effect until the next time the listener for that network is started. In the SunOS release 5.7 software, it happens immediately. In the SunOS release 4 software, addr can be specified in hexadecimal notation while in the SunOS release 5.7 software it cannot. The SunOS release 4 -m option is not available in the SunOS release 5.7 version. This option is used to add a new service to the list of services available through the indicated listener.
