Joerg,
The SAM commands came out of former LSC, inc. I can't comment on
what was considered
in the naming of them. I have been with the product in one form or
another since 1998 and these SAM
commands existed then, probably since 94 or 95. They are included in
/opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin and bin.

While doing this is a really good idea, I see potential name conflicts

Since 20..25 years, I create and publish programs like:
smake, star, sformat, sfind (a bit newer), ....
and I recently got some information that SAMFS may include progran names
like "star" and "sfind".
I support this project, but I would like to see that the programs are renamed
into something like: 'sam*' in order to avoid confusion.

Considering these are currently unbundled and shipping products, that
might be hard. I.e., would you want to tell
customers that they need to learn new commands, change all of their
scripts, etc?
Thomas, I am waiting for a reply....
Please tell me where potential name clashes are and how you like to
deal with a problem that seems to be caused by not looking to the outside...
- Which programs from SAM FS have name clashes?
- What do you intend to do in order to solve the problem
- Do you like to install the SAM FS utilities in
directories other than /usr/bin and inform your
customers about possible problems?
- Do you intend to rename your utilities that
have name clashes?
Jörg
