Basically I got two answers (only Brian Coyle I think sent them both):
Rosetta Stone
-------------
AIX/DG-UX/FreeBSD/HP-UX/IRIX/Linux/NetBSD/OpenBSD/Solaris/SunOS/Tru64/...
...Ultrix
http://home.earthlink.net/~bhami/rosetta.html
http://home.earthlink.net/~bhami/unix-rosetta.pdf
UnixGuide.net
-------------
AIX/FreeBSD/HP-UX/Linux(RedHat)/Solaris/Tru64
http://www.unixguide.net/
http://unix-guide.addr.com/unixguide.shtml
Thanks for those.
a couple of people also sent me some specific commands for linux
which I've filed away - thanks.
My assessment of the two existing matrices is:
- the formats are 'orrible (especially the rosetta stone)
- the scope is limited
- they don't account for different versions of each os
- Linux coverage is limited to Redhat pretty much
- who cares about AIX? (just kidding)
A lot of people also asked if I'd be willing to share my matrix.
Well, yes, but to be honest it's more a list than a matrix, and
completely random/haphazard - only really including commands I KNOW
I'm gonna forget if you know what I mean, so isn't really good
reference material.
So, looks like a gap in the market there for someone looking to
implement another dot-adclick-doomed-to-failure business model.
Speaking of which...I'm redundant from Tuesday next (actually just
in time to take some paternal leave for my first baby - every cloud
has a silver lining ;-)). You can reach me at: mkiernan at osfutures.com
- I'll rejoin the list from that address once I get bored with feeding
and nappies :)
Thanks again,
Mike Kiernan

For years I've kept my own horrible mess of a
"command equivalence matrix" for all the various
gnarlsome operating systems I've subjected myself to.
Basically it's a flat file with:
command: show cpu info
HP-UX: /usr/sam/lbin/getmem ||
wc -c /dev/mem || dmesg| awk '/Physical:/ && /Kbytes/ {print $2}'
Solaris: prtconf -v|| prtdiag -v
IRIX: hinv -v
command: show packages:
debian: dpkg -l
solaris: pkginfo -l
HP-UX: swlist
command: show patches:
solaris: showrev -p
IRIX: versions | grep -i patch
AIX: instfix -iv | grep IX
obviously things are complicated by the availability of FSF and other
3rd party utils/abstractions but you get the idea...
With Linux I'm struggling badly with different commands on
different releases. I'm getting seriously bored with trawling
through yet another set of mundane man pages looking for the right
switches.
Has anyone ever seen a matrix for Linux (particularly from the point
of view of a Solaris admin) esp. for debian and redhat.
Will Summarize!

Mike Kiernan
