- Many of my favors are already covered by others, here is my remaining list:
-
- o Rich and well documeneted OS calls (xxx_$).
- o The ts command.
- o Use /com/netstat -config to get detailed listing of hardware.
- configuration. And like thompson@pan.ssec.honeywell.com mentioned, the
- -all switch (and the -n switch) to query information across network.
- o cpt command instead of ugly "find -print | cpio .." or "tar ... | tar .."
- contortion. Didn't the Unix people ever need to copy or move a directory
- across file system?!
- o Standard -help and -version switch in all Aegis commands. Wanna to find
- out wich version of C compiler you're using in HP-UX or SunOS, good luck.
- o Position independent command switch, e.g. "cpt dir1 -ld dir2 -r".
- o rbak/wbak/rwmt. Several features in these commands I like very much.
- Device naming is one, instead of cyptic /dev/rct8, -device ct is so much
- easy to remember.
- o Registry (when it works).
- o Examples in Aegis help files.
- o RAI. Trying to load OS across network in HPUX or SunOS environment is
- real loyal pain. This probably is due to the limitation of underline
- filesystem.
- o crp command. Rsh is okay but it brings me to my home directory instead
- of where I was.
- o Processes have names (the proc2_$set_name() call).
-
- My most favored features that already covered by others:
-
- o The network file system.
- o DM window and editor.
