Verifying Firmware (OBP) on Oracle (Sun Microsystems) Hardware

To verify the firmware of a Sun Microsystems server use one of the following options:

At the OBP, use the '.version' command:

ok .version
Firmware CORE Release 1.0.18 created 2002/5/23 18:22
Release 4.0 Version 18 created 2002/05/23 18:22
cPOST version 1.0.18 created 2002/5/23
CORE 1.0.18 2002/05/23 18:22
ok

When running Solaris, use the prtconf(1M) command:

# prtconf -V
OBP 4.0.18 2002/05/23 18:22

Powersearch Old Files with Bash Waste Script

Waste is a simple script that makes it easier to search for old files in a path on a linux systems.   Waste features allow you do display the listing sorted by day or size and search for files a specific number of days old or between a range of days old.    It simplifies the usage of the find command by wrapping it up into a easy to use script.   Its appeal is as a cleanup script for directories that have files that need to be purged over time.

        echo " -s display listing sorted by size"
        echo " -r display files between a specific number of days old"
        echo " -o display files older then a specific number of days"
