Platform Run Book (Solaris)

This document covers basic system-administration commands for managing the platform.

Use the information here for tasks that an average system administrator would need to perform without familiarity of the actual functionality of the system. This guide assumes a basic understanding of common operating system commands and concepts. You'll find the application management commands mentioned here documented in Application Management Commands.
