Since CentOS 7 is at its EOL, I am trying to migrate to Ubuntu. Many of our setups involve alternatives to be configured. In Ubuntu, there is no alternatives
command but there is an update-alternatives
.
alternatives
alternatives version 1.26 - Copyright (C) 2001 Red Hat, Inc.

update-alternatives --version
Debian update-alternatives version 1.19.7.
This is free software; see the GNU General Public License version 2 or
later for copying conditions. There is NO warranty.
Are they the same? Are all the commands interchangeable between these two?
Can I just symlink alternatives
to update-alternatives
in Ubuntu? Is it just the command name that is different?
