What is SMIT?
The System Management Interface Tool (more commonly known as SMIT) is an interactive tool bundled with AIX®. Virtually any system administration-related task can be completed using a SMIT screen; the screens are logically grouped in a hierarchal manner for easy navigation. Fast paths associated with every function can be used to go directly to the relevant screen.
One of the best features of SMIT is that you can see exactly what commands it performs either before or after it runs those commands. SMIT doesn't use any special hooks into the operating system. Everything it does, it does through standard AIX commands and Korn shell functions. This feature is especially useful when you need to automate a repetitive task; you can have SMIT create the proper command-line sequence, and you can then use those commands in your own script.
