Where has the XXX command gone now?

There are too many of these changes to include in this FAQ, but
here are some key ones:

a. locations are often different

whoami: /usr/ucb/whoami
make: /usr/ccs/bin/make
hostid: /usr/ucb/hostid
hostname: /usr/ucb/hostname (or use uname -n)

Note that the last two commands are back in /usr/bin in
Solaris 2.5.

b. some old commands don't exist or have replacements

pstat -s: swap -s (how much swap space?)
dkinfo: /usr/sbin/prtvtoc raw_dev_name
trace: truss
mount -a: mountall
exportfs: share
bar: cpio -H bar (read only)

This information can be found in the Solaris 2.x Transition Guide -
Appendix A (commands), Appendix B (system calls), Appendix C (files).

This guide has undergone some changes from 2.0 -> 2.1 and beyond.
Several manuals have ended up being combined into this single
manual. This manual discusses administrative transition and
developer transition issues.

The command "whatnow" (for Solaris 2.x) is included in the
"Admigration Toolkit" package (see below). The Admigration
toolkit can be obtained from:

Admigration toolkit

Sample output:



	% whatnow hostname


	hostname                                        4.x command only


	hostname        /usr/ucb/hostname               part of SCP package


	hostname        /usr/bin/uname -n               alternate command

The whatnow command is limited in that it may point to
one command which may only implement a subset of the old
command (e.g., pstat points to sar, while pstat -s is identical
to swap -s)
