Re: A couple of quick questions (PASE commands, and rapidly deleting an IFS directory tree -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

An observation though would be that anyone who uses yum to install additional packages is unlikely to need much help with rm. :-)

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.
