FWIW AIX also has an apply command

I spent a year using AIX at my previous job and never heard of this or saw anybody use it. Is it new in 7.2? We were far behind on AIX 6.

No idea how old this command is. Most of the AIX/Linux admins I knew were very bad shell programmers, skills end with awfull for-loops, useless use of cat, and awk '{print $3}'.
