For Linux Users
Offers documentation on issues and workarounds for deviations between SCO and Linux.
SCO OS Security
A sub-topic page that addresses security matters involving SCO OpenServer systems.
SCO OS Logging
A sub-topic page that addresses matters involving SCO OpenServer's log files.
Usage Tips
Linux / *NIX Compatibility
- OS-SCO-Linux on this wiki offers workarounds for deviations between SCO and Linux.
- Rosetta Stone for Unix
Console
<Ctrl-Alt-Fn>
- Switch between multiple console sessions.
stty intr '^C' erase '^?' echoe
- Set sane terminal behavior for telnet sessions.
Skunkware
lxrun
Utility to allow running linux binaries under SCO, but initial testing has been disappointing. Unsurprisingly, appears to hang on 64-bit binaries. Even simple 32-bit linux binaries seem to blow up. Note "Q3.1: What if I find a Linux binary that lxrun doesn't support?" here:
Open Source for OpenServer 5.0.7
SCO-provided open source resources for OpenServer 5.0.7 are very dated. This sub-topic page aims to share information about how more recent resources may be built for use on this old platform.
Administration
A SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 sub-topic page covering a range of system administration topics like:
Information
Filesystem
man hierarchy
- Layout of filesystem
Hardware
hw
hw -v
is much more informative
- Motherboard identification is possible, though it can take effort to differentiate it from chipset identifiers.
hwconfig
man rtc
sysinfo
- Generate report on system configuration for diagnostic use
- Uses sockinfo, ss, lsof, memhog, cpuhog, and iohog if available in /usr/local/bin.
Software
Identify installed software and components
custom
pkginfo
Query system contents database; list file status; list software modifications
customquery
- Can help determine which Maintenance Pack is installed. For example:
- $
customquery swconfig | grep Maint
- SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7 Maintenance Pack 5 1.0.0Mc partially installed
- Alternatively, in cases where custom is non-functional, MP5 is likely installed when:
- $
grep Maintenance /opt/K/SCO/Unix/rs507d.Unix507.1.0a/.softmgmt/shared.db
- description=rs507d - Operations\, Administration and Maintenance Patch
swconfig
swconfig -P
only displays applied patches.SCO Software Packaging Resources
