• Using SMIT as a command generator instead of a menu system

  smit/smitty menus ultimately run ordinary AIX commands, and the tool is built to show you which ones: the output window displays the constructed command statement, and smit.log/smit.script capture every command and its exact flags with timestamps. Reading smit.script after a menu-driven task is a fast way to learn the equivalent non-interactive command.
