  • 1.  stat command for AIX

    Posted Thu April 29, 2021 03:16 PM
    Our scripts are failing on cross plartform between AIX and Linux as there is no "stat" command available on AIX.
    istat does exist on AIX but does not serve the purpose.
    If stat rpm's can be made available thru IBM toolbox .  

    istat example on AIX

    root@lpar59919:/usr/local/bin# istat getsacm

    You can install coreutils rpm from Toolbox to get the similar stat command.
    # rpm -qf /opt/freeware/bin/stat
    coreutils-8.32-1.ppc
