AIX commands are used to accomplish multiple tasks on a Unix System. The commands are executed in the Kernel whenever you want to accomplish a specific task. The commands vary depending on the user specific requirements. You can display the type of kernel you have by typing the following command, bootinfo -K. The result you will get can either be a 32 bit kernel or a 64 bit kernel. To display the
. type of processor you have, you will enter /unix. The display you will get is either 32 bit uniprocessor kernel, 32 bit multiprocessor kernel or 64 bit multiprocessor kernel. To determine if the hardware you have installed is a 32 bit or 64 bit, you will need to type bootinfo -y. These are just a few AIX commands that you used on your Unix system. Some other command words are bootlist, mkuser, rmf, rmfs, usrchk and cfgmgr. To implement any AIX command, you will need the command words and the parameter in order for the command to be executed.
