SMITTY in AIX

Madeswaran N
Lot of system admin tasks can be done by using the SMITTY utility in AIX.

Few Examples,

#smit mktcpip		# configure network parameters
#smit chfs		# change file system, eg grow/extend it.
 #smit lsprt		# list printers (don't list all, may need to go thru long menu)
#smit installp		# Add new software
 #smit update		# add patches
#smit update_all		# automatic add patches to existing sw, no complain if patch is not relevant

    To be a data scientist, one necessarily needs not to have too much experience, even fresher with mathematics, computer, and economics background can get trained to be a data scientist. This soaring need for data scientists is because of the rising application of big data in almost every industry possible. data science course syllabus
