Moving data with tar:
(cd mydata; tar cvf - *) | tar xvpBf -
Note: Really, you want to use cpio for this. Different versions of tar have different ugly limits. If you can, use your filesytem-specific command (ufsdump, qfsdump, etc), but if you're moving between filesystems, seriously consider cpio. But even then it's still often called the 'back to back tar' ; )
Same idea, toss in an rsh/ssh
tar cvf - mydata | rsh server01 "cd /pub/data; tar xvpBf -"
Process info:
/usr/ucb/ps auxww (show full command line - that is, show the full command line of each process)
# awk, print usernames where uid < 100
awk -F: '($2 < 100) '{print $1}' /etc/passwd
AIX: remove a tape drive/library from the OS
list the device names 'lsdev -Cc tape'
remove the devices :
rmdev -dl rmtX
rmdev -dl smcX
once devices are removed, run 'cfgmgr' and wait for the OS to reload drives (like running devfsadm in solaris)
