Unix Oracle questions

Hello,

I'm looking to understand and know some components and functions of Unix/Oracle which correspond to some of the functions I've seen in OS/390.

Does anyone know what the Unix command/script is which would show panels to see input, running, and ouput jobs, similar to OS/390 SDSF? It can also display the contents of the JCL (Unix:script) which initiated the job, CPU usage, I/O, files in use, etc. If TOP can do this, can you tell me how to identify/show/trace back the script which initiated the job?

Where would I find the Unix console log?

In Oracle, what would the equalivant to:

DB2 address spaces - dsnMSTR (holds most object (Unix:bin) code, the buffer and log pools, does stage 2 sargable index work)

                                 dsnDBM1 (controls and manages i/o to the
dasd (Unix:disk), and does stage 1 sargable (boolean) index work)
                                 dsnDIST   (controls distributed processing)

                                 dsnIRLM  (controls locking)     

Also, according to my reading, Oracle offsets are hex. Isn't Unix/Sun an octal machine? If so, does anyone know how an octal machine is using hex offsets?

Any referral to documentation is welcome.

Many thanks in advance.
