Forgotten Skill(z)

I used to build pretty big HPUX systems all the time for Orange, I was pretty damn good at using awk and sed to manipulate file output to do lots of god things which I wont go in to here.

However now that I want to start doing this sort of thing again I find that I've forgotten even the most basic stuff, as in the actual commands, for example I want to run a job in cron, figured that out again pretty quick however ot's stopped working already and I can't remember how to see the output (logs) or how to direct output to a log file even ! I muddled my way through some vi but even that was tough going...

I'm hoping it's like riding a bike but let's see how that goes..
