Can't "source" using Solaris 10 update 3 appliance

I downloaded the Solaris 10 update 3 appliance from the Sun site. When running Bourne shell I can't source. When I do a whereis source it returns not found. Is there something missing from this Solaris 10 VMWare setup? How can I resolve this?
Many thanks
John

Commands like "source" that effect the shells behaviour are implemented by the shell itself. Not by programs found in your path.
The root environment on solaris is "pure" bourne shell (sh).
The list of commands it implements does not include "source" which is a csh command.
Your probably used to the bourne again (bash) shell commonly used by linux.
Which adds a large list of extensions to the sh syntax including csh-isms like source.
Anyway, if you want to use source, you need to be running a bash shell, not sh.
Alternatives are to simply manually run bash.
Or to create a "root2" user with bash as its shell, but still uid 0.
Or to login as a normal user with bash shell and use sudo to get root privilege.
You could change roots shell to bash. But I don't recommend it. I'm told it works, but it could change the effect of startup scripts or have other unintended effects.

  • Can iweb be used to update any site or just .mac sites? How?

    Can iweb be used to update any site or just .mac sites? How?

    The URL is http://members.aol.com/MarleneHedgehog.
    I cannot see the iWeb files uploaded with the FTP
    program.
    I tried using shareware HTML Creator 3.5.1 instead
    of
    iWeb. It provided me with an index.html which did
    upload. I also uploaded the ten jpg's separately-
    which did upload . However, when I type the URL
    into
    my browser I do not get the website but the names
    of
    the JPG's appear.
    It looks like your jpgs need to be all in a folder
    called Marlene Pics, because that's where they were
    when you made your main page.
    I'd appreciate any advice. I am not a techie. I
    need
    simple and easy- Many thanks.
    If you are going to use iWeb, I'd recommend you use a
    different host. It's not simple and easy and unless
    you use their own stuff, and even then....
    Hi Tom!
    Thanks for your message. Can you suggest a free host that works well and easily with iWeb?
    Have you ever heard of someone using iWeb successfully with an AOL site?
    Would I be better off forgetting about iWeb and just trying to do an index.html (with HTML Creator3.5.1) and then uploading the jpgs in a folder?
    Am I right in thinking that the "essence" of a website is a correct index.html and the jpgs?
    Thanks again for your advice.
    If you find it easier to contact me directly by e-mail, my e-mail address is [email protected] or [email protected]
    Many thanks again.

  • Can I still use/sync/update my purchased apps if I change the country of my iTunes Store account for good? (PH-US)

    I'm planning to change the country of my iTunes Store account from the Philippine Store to the US. If I do, is it still possible for me to sync and update my apps purchased from the PH iTunes Store? And will I still be able to purchase in-app purchases?
    Thanks!
    - Stephen

    You can't change countries if you have a credit on your account - if you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance so that you can do so : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How can I delete an automatic update that won't download?

    Hi, 
    I've just intalleld OS X Mavericks only to find that the iMovie upgrade will not download because my vido card is not the right one (too old).  I was told I cannot replace a video card. 
    What I really want to do is delete the upgrade from the App Store so the red number 1 is not forever in the way, bothering me.  I found one solution which doesn't work because the upgrade will not even try to download, the 'can't do it' dialog comes up before I can press any option and x keys.
    Can somebody please advise.  As my Mac gets older, I figure this will be a growing problem and I can't be the only one who cannot afford a new compj\uter every couple of years.

    Deleting the App Store app from the Dock is not really a solution though is it? This issue has nothing to do with whether you have auto-updates on or not either.
    The problem is worse than just the red badge on the app's icon in the Dock, the problem is every time you go to the App Store Updates section to manually install updates -- to other apps, OS X, or whatever, that **** iMovie app is still sitting there waiting to be updated too. You can't really use the "Update All" button now because that will also try to update iMovie, again.
    Surely there must be some way to remove the iMovie app from the Updates section of the App Store? I thought hiding/removing it from the Purchases section of the App Store would do that, but it doesn't. It looks like a bug in that the App Store doesn't realise the update is incompatible with the hardware until after you click the Update button. It should know up front that it isn't compatible with this machine and not show it.

  • Can EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 be used for vendor record modification?

    Can EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 be used for update of Vendor master record or just for doing custom checks. I tried a lot to update NAME1 field but it seems its not possible to that.
    Has someone done that in past ?
    Regards,

    No,You can't update if you use this FM.
    I am sure that there is no user exit to update vendor master.

  • Can Tiger OS 10 from powerbook g4 disk be used to update OS on a tower

    Can OS X  Tiger on a POwerbook G4 disc be used to update the OS on a G4 Tower?

    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) (See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac? ).
    Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521  http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
    Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD . It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
    After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Look at this link [b]Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page[/b]
    http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
    You can also download the [b]Tiger Installation and Setup Guide[/b]
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Tiger_Install_Setup_Guide.pdf
    When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See [b]About the Archive and Install feature[/b] http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
    Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

  • I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 and can no longer use the thumb/finger spreading feature on the trackpad of my Mac Powerbook (Mac OSX 10.6.7) to enlarge text on websites. How do I restore this function?

    I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 and can no longer use the thumb/finger spreading feature on the trackpad of my Mac Powerbook (Mac OSX 10.6.7) to enlarge text on websites. How do I restore this function?

    * [/questions/777886]
    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • HT4623 My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,

    My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,

    A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
    That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

  • I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one?  Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

  • How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

    How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft website I've clicked the options which mean I shouldn't need the CD (which wasn't supplied with the laptop), but poartway through updating the service pack I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Did you mean a Office or One Note?
    As far as I know the One Note is a part of the Recovering Image and the CD is not delivered with the unit. Furthermore the Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.
    Nevertheless, did you check the update function in the Help i.e. in Word?
    There you will find a options called Check for Updates

  • How can I use the update operation in a VC Model

    Hello experts,
    i try to to use the update operation in my VC model.  I have developed an AS wich return a table. Now i want to update a table row. So I add the update operation to my model. But it doesn´t work. I mapped all attribute between the table and the update service. The event name is submit.
    Another strange thing is: If i try to update in the service browser it cames the error message that the vandatory attribute ... is missing.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks
    Marco

    Hi Marco,
    In this case it is possible that your update service requires a mandatory parameter which you are not providing.
    When you drag your service onto the VC screen, right click on the service and test it.It will give you a clear picture of which parameters are required by the service and besides you can also use some test data to check if the service is working properly.
    Do let me know if this helps.
    Thanks,
    Gaurav.

  • How do I put my photos from a hard drive to my mac using different versions of Iphoto?  It is saying I can't because of the updated version.

    Hello,
    I am trying to move photos from my hard drive to my mac.   Mac is using an updated version of Iphoto and is denying the transfer.
    How do I get around this?  Do I download the order version?  or can I not get my photos?  If anyone can help please do.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
    Thanks Carol

    I copied my photos onto my hard drive from my mac about 3 months ago.  I just plugged my hard drive in to put my pictures back onto my mac but it is giving me a message when trying to open up the photos from the hard drive that states
    Like I said we need to know exactly what you did
    THere are lots of totally different ways to "copy your photos" onto a hard drive
    Exactly how did you do that? The correct way to move an iPhoot library is to verify that the hard drive is formattted Mac OS extended (journaled) and then to drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to it - reverse to bring it back - just drag it from the EHD to the pictures folder (default location) on your computer
    Why are you doing this?
    you can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database - depending on what has been going on this might resolve things
