Yes. Some of the command line options are different, as OS X is based on BSD UNIX. However, both OS X and Linux support the POSIX standard for the shell and core UNIX utilities. I don't think casual users will notice the differences very much. Also, you'll find that the system administration and networking commands are often different. OS X uses a directory server to store information about users and groups, instead of relying on /etc/passwd, /etc/group and other such files. Under OS X, the dscl command can be used to modify entries in the directory server - be careful though. The shell is the same as in Linux (bash by default), and all of the core UNIX commands support the options and parameters required by standards, so it shouldn't be hard to adjust to the differences between the two environments. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
