UNIX-User's Cheater Table

This table lists commands available in the CL-Environment, the classical OS/400-Shell, so to say. These do not apply to QSH or PASE, which are UNIX-like environments within OS/400.

UNIX Command	OS/400 Equivalent	Remarks
Files and File System
cat	cpyf	Since OS/400 has no concept of stdin/stdout, these functions of cat don't apply here.
cd	chgcurlib
cp	crtdupobj
ls	wrklib wrkobj	Shows a scrollable list of selected objects, helps in modifying access rights.
mv	rnmobj movobj
vi	strseu for source physical files, edtf for stream files, strdfu option(5) for database files.	See Filesystems and Files on the AS/400 for details.
Memory and Processes
free	wrkshrpool	This is for displaying the amount of built-in RAM.
crontab -e at (scheduler)	wrkjobscde sbmjob wrkjobq qbatch
ps aux top	wrkactjob
Disk and I/O
df	strsst	Access to precise disk space stats is available within system service tools only.
iostat -x	wrkdsksts
Other Topics
lpq	wrkoutq	Displays all configured printer queues and count of entries.
mailx	dspmsg	Cron and at send mail if there was output. OS/400 sends messages and generates printer output (spooled file).
