ShellScript: Interesting command this ‘tput’

delegate the administration of the ssh service to a regular user
Posted by Julio Sanchez in Solaris on September 9, 2010
As only root can run svcadm command, with RBAC could create a profile with this command and assigned to a regular user, but could work on any service and just want to give it control of a particular service, the ssh. So this is not a valid solution. To solve this problem we have the [...]

How to create a daily recursive snapshot of a Zpool
Posted by Sergio Rodriguez de Guzman in Solaris on March 10, 2010
