So we've upgraded from SUN Solaris to RedHat Linux, and I've found some key differences so far. The command prstat no longer really works well to find out how healthy your server/CPUs are, as it needs to be combined with the new top command to get a fuller understanding of how healthy your system is and this site will help you understand why there is a difference between not only the commands but how the OS is operating as well.
To investigate printing issues I grew accustomed to the lpstat command combined with the -lp switches so that a command lpstat -lp PRINTERNAME would give me information as to how the printer was connected to our system and if the printer queue was up or not. I've found out that issuing this command in a RedHat Linux environment doesn't provide that old type of feedback, so we've had to alter our approach and instead use the -a switch so that the entire command looks like lpstat -a PRINTERNAME now.
