There doesn't seem to be a demo site out there. Not only is this an aging system used by only a small minority of administrators, but you are expected to understand AIX already before automating it's administration. All the resources available seem to be more advanced that you are looking for, but here are some materials to read anyway:IBM has an article that goes over the basics of SMIT. Since SMIT is a just an administration interface to AIX in general, the other whitepapers on AIX also have relevant information as you go along.There is an article covering SMIT in brief in Volume 10 of SysAdmin, along with a few other pieces on AIX.The wikipedia coverage is pretty sketchy, but the IBM AIX SMIT page page has a few of the keybindings and a good summary of what you're dealing with.As far as a list of commands goes, SMIT is just a control interface for other system commands, and you cat get some command line arguments for it in this documentation.
