I've used AIX before - back in 1996 and I used SMIT and SMITTY back
then and I LOVE BOTH. They are great. I especially like how you can
click on that button to display the command which corresponds to the
mouse clicks when using the SMIT GUI. SMIT is a great learning tool.
I was just hoping that chkconfig was in there somewhere because it's so
much easier to use chkconfig than to tear through the files in the rc
directories (but that's a personal preference). Anyway, since
chkconfig was on my Mac running OS X (and therefore I think BSD) I
thought it might have migrated to BSD at some point - but I guess that
was wishful thinking. :)
Thanks, once again, to everyone that responded! This list rocks!
In a rare REALLY REALLY good mood,
Greg
