Cheatsheet Solaris
Summary: A cheatsheet to collect various information and commands for solaris.
Date: 3 January 2025
Shutdown & reboot
You have more than one command option that you can use. The best command is this, executed as root:
shutdown -y -i5 -g0
This will immediately shut the system down. You can also use the older command that still works:
sync;sync;init 5
You can even use:
poweroff
Reboot If you are trying to reboot the system as opposed to turning it off, you could use:
shutdown -y -i6 -g0
Or:
sync;sync;init 6
Or even:
reboot
Runlevel
Find current runlevel:

xauth
This sounds like you don't have the standard X applications such as "xauth" on your PATH. On Solaris this means you need to add "/usr/openwin/bin" to your PATH environment variable.
PATH
So set your path like this:
export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/usr/openwin/bin"
Create A User
useradd sjoerd \ -c "Sjoerd Hooft Local Account" \ -d /export/home/sjoerd \ -m \ -s /usr/bin/bash useradd -c "Sjoerd Hooft Local Account" -d /export/home/sjoerd -m -s /usr/bin/bash sjoerd
Note that the /home is reserved for system usage and that local users should get a homedir in /export/home
Locking and Unlocking a user
Lock: -l Unlock: -u
user@solbox:~$ sudo passwd -l user1 passwd: password information changed for user1 user@solbox:~$ sudo passwd -u user1 passwd: password information changed for user1
With Sun Directory Server
sjoerd@solaris:/opt/SUNWdsee7/bin$ ./dsutil account-status uid=richard,ou=people,dc=prd,dc=domain Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: "uid=richard,ou=people,dc=prd,dc=domain" is activated. sjoerd@solaris:/opt/SUNWdsee7/bin$ ./dsutil account-inactivate uid=richard,ou=people,dc=prd,dc=domain Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: "uid=richard,ou=people,dc=prd,dc=domain" has been inactivated. sjoerd@solaris:/opt/SUNWdsee7/bin$ ./dsutil account-status uid=richard,ou=people,dc=prd,dc=domain Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: "uid=richard,ou=people,dc=prd,dc=domain" is inactivated.

Change default shell of Local User
This is set in the /etc/passwd file:
user123:x:9613:2013:User 123:/home/user123:/bin/ksh
