Hi guys
I want to know a few things about HP-UX. I am big fan of Solaris and I know HP-UX is his brother (UNIX System V).
Yesterday I spent a few hours on docs.hp.com and it looks like a interesting OS.
So a few questions.
1.) Is it hard/easy to keep it running than Solaris .
2.) How do you backup your system , is it classical UNIX commands (ufsdump, tar , cpio) or you have tools like flasharchive ?
3.) What IDE you use to develop applications for HP-UX.
4.) Tell me something interest.
And this isn`t a new "Solaris vs HP-UX " theme , I`m just curious .

yes...
HP-UX also has tools:
fbackup
make_recovery (make_tape_recovery etc...)
...
Question of point of vue...
IMHO it has like AIX a true system administration interface (SAM in HP, SMIT in AIX)
with no equivalent in SOLARIS (poor admintool...).
Just for fun:

I agree that HP-UX has great admin tools. And we used those backup tools that you mention everyday to run backups and create a recovery tape to be sent offsite.
I've been away from it for 6 years, but your post reminds me of when we finally decommisioned an old HP F30 box (a very small server). It ran our payroll app for 3 years straight without any downtime. It was so small that when we had a transformer blow and were without power for a couple of days once, the UPS it was attached to, kept it running the entire time. It didn't draw much power. Those SCSI drives sure did whine though..
