UNIX (third party) Software List

The following is a list of third party software packages and programs (software that is not included with the Solaris operating system) available on our uhunix systems. To generate this list, enter the following at the unix command prompt:
/usr/uh/bin/help software

Three Levels of Support

  • Full support (full) - ITS provides acquisition, installation, and maintenance. Provides basic "how to access" user documentation. Staff has understanding of product and will do their best to answer user's questions.
  • Minimal support (minimum) - ITS provides acquisition, installation, and maintenance. Provides basic "how to access" user documentation. Support is vendor documentation.
  • No support (unsupported) - ITS performs installation only. Product source is provided to ITS by other groups, departments, other entities, or public domain "freeware".
  • PATH Variable and Other Commands

    Be sure that your PATH environment variable contains the following directories so that you can easily access our software:
    /usr/uh/bin /usr/local/bin

    To check the directories listed in your PATH environment variable:
    printenv PATH

    If they are not in your path, edit your ~/.cshrc file to include them.
    Contact our Help Desk via email to HELP if you need help with this.

    To get a complete listing of all "third-party" commands, do this:
    ls -l /usr/uh/bin /usr/local/bin | more

    If you are searching for specific software, do this:
    ls -l /usr/uh/bin /usr/local/bin | egrep -i PutAPortionOfNameToSearchHere
