It was gr8 experience for me to use HP-UX box , not upto expert level , but at certain comfort !
While working with HP-UX , I decided to create one small draft of common commands used
HP-UX :
=======
Complete command or filename --> type few characters and press ESC key 2 times
List multiple files starting with "T" --> type "p" then "ESC" then "="
# cd p
1) pids/
2) probes/
Rexecute command numbers 562 :
==============================
561 cd ..
562 ls
563 hios
[root@fwa-integ02] [/opt/nimbus]
# r 562
ls
bin niscache pids probes robot tmp
[root@fwa-integ02] [/opt/nimbus]
Execute Last Command --> ESC + k
To display current baud rate, start/stop bits, parity, flow control, and other information
==========================================================================================
# stty -a
speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
rows = 24; columns = 80
min = 4; time = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U
eof = ^D; eol = ^@; eol2 ; swtch
stop = ^S; start = ^Q; susp ; dsusp
werase ; lnext
-parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -crts
-ignbrk brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc
ixon ixany ixoff -imaxbel -rtsxoff -ctsxon -ienqak
isig icanon -iexten -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh
-echoctl -echoprt -echoke -flusho -pendin
opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel -tostop tab3
[root@fwa-integ02] [/opt/nimbus/bin]
Software removal process logged into /var/adm/sw/swremove.log
Find and remove unused softwares :
==================================
freedisk
swremove
Verifying Installed software :
==============================
swremove
log of the command is recorded in /var/adm/sw/swverify.log
What is Software Depot :
========================
Software depots are places where filesets, products, and bundles are stored. A software depot may a directory on your disk, a CD-ROM, or a tape (DDS, DAT) used for
distributing software
By default, the software depot directory is /var/spool/sw
(Its like Repository in RHEL , we can add , remove list packages from it.)
HP-UX Patches
==============
Patch Sources
Patches can be obtained using your Web browser through WWW or FTP. The WWW site address is:
http://ITResourceCenter.hp.com
The FTP site address is:
ftp://us-ffs.external.hp.com/hp-ux_patches
You can also order a patch CD-ROM from Hewlett-Packard to obtain a collection of all patches.
CUSTOM PATCH MANAGER
--------------------
This tool is available on the Hewlett-Packard Web site. It can be used to take inventory of existing software installed on your system and suggest needed patches. To
use the custom patch manager, your system needs to be connected to the Internet and you must have a Personalized System Support Agreement with Hewlett-Packard.
Command patches : CO
Kernel patches : KL
Network patches : NE
Subsystem patches : SS
Some example patch names are:
-----------------------------
PHSS_16473
PHSS_14158
PHCO_15623
PHKL_16189
Usually you need to reboot the system after installing a kernel patch
Check HP-UX Version :
======================
# uname -a
HP-UX fwa-inte B.11.23 U ia64 2745059608 unlimited-user license
[root@fwa-integ02] [/var/spool]
# uname -r
B.11.23
List Installed Patches :
=========================
swlist -l patch
HP-UX Patch Installing :
========================
Obtaining Patches
HP-UX patches are distributed as shar files. When you download a patch from the Hewlett-Packard FTP or Web site, use the sh command to unshar it. For example, to
download the patch, PHCO_15220
ftp> get PHCO_15220
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for PHCO_15220 (46784 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
46784 bytes received in 1.04 seconds (44.02 Kbytes/s)
Step 1:
-------
After downloading, use the following command to unshar the patch.
$ sh PHCO_15220
x - PHCO_15220.text
x - PHCO_15220.depot [compressed]
$
Step 2:
-------
To add the patch to the /var/spool/sw depot, use this command.
swcopy -s PHCO_15220.depot PHCO_15220 @ /var/spool/sw
Step 3:
-------
swinstall -s /var/spool/sw
Important HP-UX commands :
===========================
swinstall Install software
swremove Remove installed software; also remove software from a depot
swlist List installed software or software in a depot
swcopy Copy software components to a software depot
swpackage Package software in a depot
swreg Make a software depot visible to other systems on the network
swverify Verify integrity of installed software
swagentd SD-UX daemon
swagent SD-UX agent
swacl Control access to software
swconfig Configure installed software

The timex command is used to report process and system activity. This command can be used to calculate the time used by a command or set of commands. For example, to
check user and system time used during the execution of the ll /etc command, use the following command.
timex ll /etc
