NonStop Server for Java 5.0 Programmer's Reference

OSS Commands and Utilities

Lists and describes user commands and utilities.

Running the OSS Shell

Describes how to run the OSS shell using the osh command.

Creating Files

Describes how to create new files in the OSS environment using the vi text editor.

Note that you can avoid using the vi text editor by creating the files in another

environment and using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the ftp command, or another

utility to put the files in the OSS file system. The HelloWorld sample, shown later in this

section, uses this method.

The following sections are a tutorial that introduces many of the frequently used OSS user

commands and utilities to perform the particular tasks:

UNIX Tutorials

Public sources of informationsuch as, classes and tutorialson using UNIX systems through the

Korn shell are highly applicable to using the OSS environment. You might find these sources a

good first step in learning about the file system, commands, and utilities characteristic of the

OSS environment.

directory:

Note: If your NonStop Server for Java 5 software is installed in the standard

location (/usr/tandem), skip Step 4 and Step 5 and specify the location values

accordingly.
