AIX as supported OS request

[bobblestiltskin]

bash-4.4$ ./neofetch Unknown OS detected: 'AIX', aborting... Open an issue on GitHub to add support for your OS. bash-4.4$

Hello,

I use AIX daily and your tool may be of use to me. If you require any specific AIX assistance, please ask.

Bob

Whoa, an AIX system, that's rare.

Since we have no access to AIX systems, we will definitely need your help.

We will need the full outputs of:

• oslevel and oslevel -s
• prtconf
• lsdev
• lspv - I believe this is for listing HDDs
• sar -r 1 1
• ls --version 2>&1 (Yes, it will produce error, we need full outputs of the error)

Also, does running ifconfig without any flags cause errors? I knew the Solaris (Oracle) ones did.

Does AIX have any package managers?

Yes, it does, a switch is required - usually use '-a' for all viz:

Thank you very much for picking this up quickly :-)

If I can be of any further assistance, please ask!

For memory, we can probably use vmstat. What is the output of vmstat and vmstat -v?

Hmmm - not sure what happened the first time it was run (Oh I see - transposed & and > ?). I hope that I have provided the required information.

Well, we only need the error message since there are so many differing ls programs (currently, we're supporting BusyBox, GNU, Solaris, Toybox and BSD ls) to get an installation date of a certain system, they have different flags to display full date and time. Since we won't get the error message if they're sent to stderr, we redirect them to stdout.

For uptime, what is the output?

Also, does AIX have any package managers?

AIX has its native package manager - this is installp, lslpp et al.

It also supports RPM, and the two databases can be synchronised (to some degree?) with updtvpkg.

So the output is appended, so it does not refresh the output buffer as 'top' does.

The full command-line switches for svmon are :

^C# svmon -p

Bad syntax

usage:
svmon -G [-O Options] [-i Interval [NumIntervals] ] svmon -S [SID1...SIDN] [-O Options] [-t Count] [-i Interval [NumIntervals] ] svmon -P [PID1...

-a restricts the scope to the subclasses of the SupClassName parameter (in the Tier report) -c used with the -X flag, allows to add a comment to the XML report -i instructs svmon to display statistics repetitively -o specifies the output file for the -X flag -O -O option=value, ... ] activeusers=[on | off] affinity=[on | detail | off] commandline=[on | off] file_mem_scan=[on| off] (default is off) filename=[on | off] filtercat=[off exclusive kernel shared unused unattached] filterpgsz=[off s m L S] filterprop=[off notempty data text] filtertype=[off working persistent client] format=[80 | 160 | nolimit] frame=[on | off] mapping=[on | off] maxbufsize=[KB | MB | GB] mpss=[on | off] overwrite=[on | off] pgsz=[on | off] pidlist=[on | number | off] process=[on | off] range=[on | off] segment=[on | category | off] shmid=[on | off] sortentity=[inuse | virtual | ....] (depending on the selected summary) sortseg=[inuse | pin | pgsp | virtual] subclass=[on | off] summary=[basic | longreal | ame | longame] svmonalloc=[on | off] threadaffinity=[on | off] timestamp=[on | off] tmem=[on | off] unit=[auto | page | KB | MB | GB] -t displays memory usage statistics for the top count object to be printed

This machine has no X (it is a virtual machine, accessed only via ssh). I can find one of the real physical machines to run commands on, which do have X11 running, if this is required.

This machine has no X (it is a virtual machine, accessed only via ssh). I can find one of the real physical machines to run commands on, which do have X11 running, if this is required.

Not required for essentials (CPU, Memory, etc).

So, this means we can't use -l and -L for listing all installed packages. Let's try lslpp -h | head -9.

Also, actually we have a working branch of aix. If you have git you can clone konimex/neofetch.git and go to the aix branch. Or you can just download it at http://github.com/konimex/neofetch/archive/aix.tar.gz

I want to know how fast/slow neofetch runs, so maybe the command will be time ./neofetch.

Thank you so much for all your work so far in implementing this for me :-)

Without specifying an ascii_distro, I see the program hang at "get_ascii", however, if I do specify one I see the output given running under 'time'.

I did look at the options, but see none for no-ascii. I want the exact opposite of ...

-L, --logo                  Hide the info text and only show the ascii logo.

I will read through the code, and look at whether I can implement this. I may also make further requests, since my real desire is for the output of neofetch to be consumed by other processes. For this, I maybe want to have explicitly marked-up output sans logo (I am thinking XML for now). I am more than happy to submit a patch for this, when I have tested on AIX and Linux?

Yup, ascii art for AIX hasn't been added yet. Once we add it the hang won't occur. I'll take a closer look and see if I can remove the hang altogether. Neofetch should be falling back to no ascii mode when this happens instead of getting stuck.

--image off will do what you're looking for. I'll edit the docs to make this clearer.

[konimex]

Yeah, it was stuck in get_ascii because apparently I forgot to put (at least a placeholder) ASCII there. That was my bad.

So, for the outputs, the output of Memory is clearly inaccurate, maybe I got the array wrong. I will need a direct access to any AIX systems available though, so I can get my hands on the AIX ls and tinker with it.

@dylanaraps, for the AIX VM, maybe we can arrange it for tomorrow or the day after. But man, is that thing expensive...

[dylanaraps]

I fixed the ascii hang in #595.

for the AIX VM, maybe we can arrange it for tomorrow or the day after. But man, is that thing expensive...

Yup, being able to rent it on a day by day basis makes things affordable though. I'm willing to get at most 3 days access but I doubt we'll need it for that long. We'll see. :)

[konimex]

I'm willing to get at most 3 days access but I doubt we'll need it for that long.

Nah, at most I'll just need one or two days to set up bash and git and do the testing. Unless you want to expand to HP-UX too :p

As for #595, I'll rebase it into my branch after you merged it to master.

If you require any assistance setting up your AIX box, I will be available (generally) for advice. I have been working with AIX for three years so know some things about it.

Is this with the latest master (with the hang fix)?

If it still occurs with the latest master, I'll need to take a closer look when I rent the server tomorrow.

Ah, no, that was with the version I had already downloaded. Sorry!

[dylanaraps]

All good. I also just realized that you can't test the fix until it's merged into @konimex's branch! So hold off on testing it for now. :)

I have been keeping my director up to date and he says ...

Also, their CPU usage collection uses "ps aux" which isn't really the right way to determine CPU usage: [1]http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/58539/top-and-ps-not-showing-the-same-cpu-result. I think this might be wrong for AIX as well as I don't know if AIX supports "aux"?

ps aux does work on AIX ...

ps aux

And the ps is an IBM packaged one

rpm -qf /usr/bin/ps

file /usr/bin/ps is not owned by any package

lslpp -w /usr/bin/ps

also on this box I do have top -

Does running svmon requires you to be root? If it does, we may need alternative methods.

Hmm.. I think using a pastebin-like solution for output might be better.

If you have curl installed in your AIX system, you can do df -P -g | curl -F c=@- http://ptpb.pw and paste the URL here.

Alright, so I can confirm that every functions work correctly (except fetching packages and install date), you can test it out by downloading http://github.com/konimex/neofetch/archive/aix.tar.gz and confirm that it works (or not).

@konimex, it looks like we'll have to maybe disable kernel on AIX since the output is just 1.

Also, there's an extra space in the cores number so we'll have to trim that.

[konimex]

Damn, I made another mistake in the memory part, it should be fixed by the next time you redownload the tar file.
