Introduction:
A lot of people seem to be having problems finding the mknod command, as needed for part 3 of the assignment. For most of you, you should be able to use the similar mkfifo command, which is a special form of mknod that only makes named PIPEs. Whichever one you choose to use, here are the proper paths: JCC-lab Solaris (Ultra 1): mknod - /usr/sbin/mknod mkfifo - /usr/bin/mkfifo JCC-lab SunOS (SparcStation 4): mknod - /usr/etc/mknod mkfifo - not present. Smith-lab Solaris (SparcStation 5): mknod - /usr/sbin/mknod mkfifo - /usr/bin/mkfifo Hopefully, this should make this part of the assignment as easy as it should be. ;)
