[SunHELP] various solaris questions

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR ( SDaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com )]

Note that the man page is not very clear on the signification of "processes
in the run-queue".

"w"/"uptime" reports the number of process runnable plus the number of
processes on any CPU ("R" and "O" states in "ps -l"), which is called
"load".

"sar"/"vmstat" only reports the number of process runnable, without process
on CPU ("R" states in "ps -l"), which is called "run queue size".

For instance, if the host has 10 CPUs, with 12 processes candidate for CPU,
"w"/"uptime" will report load average=12, as "sar"/"vmstat" will report run
queue size = 2.

	First question -

	In /etc/auto_master there is a line like:
	/net            -hosts          -nosuid,nobrowse

	This causes any machine that exports a file system that is mountable
by
	your machine to be available as:

	/net/machine-name/export-name.

	Note, if you cd to /net and do a ls, you see nothing, if you ls
machine-name
	you see the mounts.

	Second question -

	man uptime and man w.
