Standard UNIX Commands

Your virtual Web server has been provided with a number of standard Unix utilities in your Web site's /usr/bin directory. For compatibility, the /bin directory is aliased to /usr/bin.

Some shareware and commercial scripts have been written assuming that these UNIX binaries are located in other directories. This difference means usually that only the first line of these Perl and shell scripts must be changed to reflect the new location (eg., #!/usr/bin/perl #!/usr/bin/sh and so on...).

The complete list of Unix utilities loaded into your Web site can be obtained from a file listing of your Web site's /usr/bin directory. A partial listing follows. If you find there are utilities or commands missing that you need, please contact LZsupport @ LiveZone.com with your request.
