you sure are a funny troll :) don't let the facts get in the way, this is slashdot.

8 CPU M3k? what are you talking about? That is a single CPU box. Yeah, quadcore, and each core can run two threads. And wtf is an UltraSparc IV 64? Nonsense detected. And "for the purpose you use them for". Exactly. You should re-think your CPU architecture if it doesn't suite your needs. rule 80/20. The plannning/ranting ratio.

You, Sir, are a troll.

instead of looking for tools you are used of on other platforms (top, killall), pls rtfm, and look for the functionalities delivered with the OS (prstat, pkill). Nonstandards switches? Which standard are you talking about?
Instead of using old USIIIi boxes, have at last a look at the Sparc64 (Mx000 series) and the CMT processor based servers (T5xx0 Series).

and so on.

The rest is just useless rant. Go check your facts, or at least read wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraSPARC_T2 , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC64_VII , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC_Enterprise and sunsolve.

Really? And what kind of hardware does Solaris run on? What kind of hardware does HPUX run on? What kind of hardware does AIX run on?

You are right with HPUX/AIX - but as for Solaris there's much more than you'd think:

However -exec is slow. Try:

rtfm://find

Especially the section explaining the difference between "\;" and "+".

sparc servers as a not growing market, huh? You, Sir, seriously need to have a look at the T2+ and the Sparc64 based servers. Sure it took them a while to get those to the market - but see them rock (;)) now.

He wasn't. All he did was looking out of the window, thinking '42 will do', or similar. No mythical hocuspocus, no hidden message. Yes, I wish that there was one too though. Yes, I like 42 just the same since then. Go see the fscking web for details.

Don't you love slashdot? There might go a significant Unix, an at-last-innovative-again company, and the most important topic here is macos being unix or not.
