Jack,
I don't disagree with your comments; however, I will offer one piece of
insight. Highly regulated and controlled environments, some of which have
users on this list, cannot just load open source items not supplied by IBM
and use them without significant and difficult hoops to jump through. That
includes /QOpenSys/pkgs directory.
Just saying "open source" in one of my customers environment might be enough
to get you fired.
Open source is not the true panacea that some think it is. There are times
it's a nightmare.

True enough, Jim, but yum-ers generally install Gnu versions where we can
and put QOpenSys/pkgs/bin ahead of all the other bin dirs.
In any case
- Try -h and --help on commands
- Try the man pages on AIX for the PASE stuff and Linux for the pkgs
stuff
- Google. There's a lot more, at least 1000 times more, quite literally,
stuff on the web about Unix commands than for IBM i.
And always use Gnu grep instead of AIX grep !!

Careful Jack. Linux implements some of the commands differently than
AIX and therefore PASE does. Most of the classic ones behave the same
but there are differences. Some of those differences could be
significant.
