    All,

    I am new to AIX and would like to know what does the last 4 digits in oslevel -s output stand for?

    1. oslevel -s
    5300-06-01-0000

    I know that
    5300 = version
    06 = technology level
    01 = service pack
    0000 ?????

    Thanks,

    The third link:

    http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/best/aix_service_strategy.pdf

    Explains in the "Changing the names of the service packs (adding release dates)" chapter.

    Well, they try to explain amongst a bunch of typos.

    So your SP release date is YYWW, YY=year, WW=Week, so it must have been released in week zero of year 2000!.

    Bless 'em.
