SiSoftware has announced the availability of SiSoftware Sandra 2008, the latest version of its award-winning utility which includes remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, PDAs1, Smart Phones1, small office/home office (SOHO) networks and enterprise networks.SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is a 32 and 64-bit Windows system analyser that includes benchmarking, testing and listing modules. It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, ODBC Connections, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

New in SiSoftware Sandra XII (2008):
London, UK, August 15th 2007 - We are pleased to launch SiSoftware Sandra XII (2008), the latest version of our award-winning utility, which includes remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, PDAs, smart-phones and networks.
Over time, there has been a continued and sustained growth in software portability and the development of software that can ultimately be executed on multiple platforms without recompilation. With the use of the software virtual machine (SVM) growing, be that .NET1 or Java2, the importance of offering a benchmark that measures their performance has grown.
The introduction of these benchmarks will soon allow the complete suite to be available on other operating systems - not just on Microsoft Windows, as we expanded into non-x86 architectures (IA64/Itanium3, x64/AMD64/EM64T, ARM) in the previous years. We have also added additional support for Virtual Machine and Runtime Engines to open up this information now to the our users.
Not everything in this release is virtual: as with all releases there is something very real in adding more and more support and trying to predict the new needs of our users as we achieved with each release. Support for digital certificates and cryptography, detailed information of the security settings, policies, users and groups of your computer, wireless networks and advanced charting.

This version adds the following new modules and functionality:
• .NET Benchmarking1
° .NET Arithmetic: Shows how well the system handles .NET arithmetic operations through the .NET CLR in comparison to other typical .NET CLRs.
° .NET Multi-Media: Shows how well the system handles .NET multi-media operations through the .NET CLR in comparison to other typical .NET CLRs.

• Java Benchmarking2
° Java Arithmetic: Shows how well the system handles Java arithmetic operations through the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) in comparison to other typical Java Virtual Machines.
° Java Multi-Media: Shows how well the system handles Java multi-media operations through the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) in comparison to other typical Java Virtual Machines.

• Information and Diagnostics
° Virtual Machines and Runtime Engines: Information about the software Virtual Machines (VM), Runtime Engines (RE) and software engines installed on your computer.
° Cryptography and Certificates: Information about the cryptographic providers, algorithms and security certificates installed on your computer.
° Sessions: Information about the client sessions hosted by your computer under Terminal Services.
° Users and Groups: Information about the users and user group accounts registered on your computer and on your domain.

• Wireless Support: Information about the wireless (802.11a/b/g/n) networks and devices in addition to the Bluetooth, IrDA (Infrared) and networking capabilities.

• Enhanced Network (LAN/WAN) Capabilities
° Bluetooth Devices and Networks
° Wireless Devices and Networks
° Terminal Servers
° Universal Plug & Play (UPnP) Devices and Networks

• New Advanced Charting Capabilities
° Differences Chart: view the differences between the tested device and reference devices.
° Components Chart: contrast the indexes against one another for both current and reference device.
° Performance vs. Speed: contrast the results against device speed (MHz, bps, etc.); how much more performance do you get from a faste device?
° Performance vs. Power: contrast the results against device power (TDP); how much more power does a faster device consume?

With each release, we add new support and compatibility for the latest hardware, architectures and operating systems, and this is no exception. SiSoftware continues to work with hardware vendors to ensure the best support for new emerging hardware.

Here are some short tips for common tasks on SUN Solaris 2.6, 7 and 8

Important SUN Solaris Commands

$ who -r # Show Run Level
$ /usr/sbin/prtconf # Print the complete system configuration
$ /sbin/mountall -l # Mount all local filesystems.
$ /sbin/init S # Changing to single user mode

This is a quickie page to run through basic “program flow control” commands, if you are completely new to shell programming. The basic ways to shape a program, are loops, and conditionals. Conditionals say “run this command, IF some condition is true”. Loops say “repeat these commands” (usually, until some condition is met, and then you stop repeating).

---

Conditionals

IF

The basic type of condition is “if”.

if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
	print we are okay
else
	print something failed
fi

IF the variable $? is equal to 0, THEN print out a message. Otherwise (else), print out a different message. FYI, “$?” checks the exit status of the last command run. The final ‘fi’ is required. This is to allow you to group multiple things together. You can have multiple things between if and else, or between else and fi, or both.
You can even skip the ‘else’ altogether, if you dont need an alternate case.

if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
	print we are okay
	print We can do as much as we like here
fi

---

CASE

The case statement functions like ’switch’ in some other languages. Given a particular variable, jump to a particular set of commands, based on the value of that variable. While the syntax is similar to C on the surface, there are some major differences;

• The variable being checked can be a string, not just a number
• There is no “fall through” with ;;. You hit only one set of commands.. UNLESS you use “;&” instead of “;;’
• To make up for no ‘fall through’, you can ’share’ variable states
• You can use WILDCARDS to match strings

echo input yes or no
read  answer
case $answer in
	yes|Yes|y)
		echo got a positive answer
		# the following ';;' is mandatory for every set
		# of comparative xxx)  that you do
		;;
	no)
		echo got a 'no'
		;;
	q*|Q*)
		#assume the user wants to quit
		exit
		;; 

	*)
		echo This is the default clause. we are not sure why or
		echo what someone would be typing, but we could take
		echo action on it here
		;;
esac

Loops

WHILE

The basic loop is the ‘while’ loop; “while” something is true, keep looping. There are two ways to stop the loop. The obvious way is when the ’something’ is no longer true. The other way is with a ‘break’ command.

keeplooping=1;
while [[ $keeplooping -eq 1 ]] ; do
	read quitnow
	if [[ "$quitnow" = "yes" ]] ; then
		keeplooping=0
	fi
	if [[ "$quitnow" = "q" ]] ; then
		break;
	fi
done

---

UNTIL

The other kind of loop in ksh, is ‘until’. The difference between them is that ‘while’ implies looping while something remains true.
‘until’, implies looping until something false, becomes true

until [[ $stopnow -eq 1 ]] ; do
	echo just run this once
	stopnow=1;
	echo we should not be here again.
done

---

FOR

A “for loop”, is a “limited loop”. It loops a specific number of times, to match a specific number of items. Once you start the loop, the number of times you will repeat is fixed. The basic syntax is

for var in one two three ; do
	echo $var
done

Whatever name you put in place of ‘var’, will be updated by each value following “in”. So the above loop will print out

one
two
three

But you can also have variables defining the item list. They will be checked ONLY ONCE, when you start the loop.

list="one two three"
for var in $list ; do
	echo $var
	# Note: Changing this does NOT affect the loop items
	list="nolist"
done

The two things to note are:

1. It stills prints out “one” “two” “three”
2. Do NOT quote “$list”, if you want the ‘for’ command to use multiple items

If you used “$list” in the ‘for’ line, it would print out a SINGLE LINE, “one two three”
