Hello and welcome to LinuxQuestions,

Never heard of that command, where did you encounter it? Can you explain a bit further in what environment you found it? Also, when asking a question it's always a very good idea to include the distro and version you are using. Have fun with Linux.

Kind regards,

Eric

Also, please use threads that describe the problem you're having, as you're told to when posting threads.

Any command you have a question about you can always type in "man <command>" and it will tell you every thing about it. Unfortuantly "au" is not a command.

Well I don't know, but i know a man who does. If it is really 'au', then

man au

would give you a man page. If it isn't au, you'd have to replace 'au' with the real string concerned.
