Mounting a cdrom under Solaris

1) Log in as a user with root authority.

2) Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.

3) If the Volume Manager (vold) is running on your system, the CD-ROM is automatically mounted as /cdrom/cd_label if the CD has a label or /cdrom/unnamed_cdrom if it is unlabeled.

diff 2 files; output diff’s to 3rd file

bash# diff file1 file2 | grep “[<>]” | sed “s/>/\t/g;s/<//g” > file3

The above command will the difference of file1 file2 in file 3

The output of file3 looks like below:

host1
host2
                 host3
                 host4

which means file1 has host1 and host2 which is not found in file2,  and in file2 there are words like host3, host4 which is not found in file1.
