Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Roles & Responsibilities of a Linux/Unix administrator Post 302351707 by pludi on Wednesday 9th of September 2009 09:41:15 AM

In my opinion: experience, ability to adapt to different environments, stress resistance, problem solving skills, willingness to keep learning, willingness to work late because of service windows, maybe ability to speak "manager-speak" (ROI, TCO, business impact, ....)
Personally, i find that a bit of laziness and OCD help (because if you write a script to do that mundane task it might as well run without supervision for the next 2-3 years)

NAME
xorpsh -- XORP Command Shell SYNOPSIS
xorpsh [-c command] [-t directory] [-e] [-h] [-v] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xorpsh command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. xorpsh is the command used to interact with a eXtensible Open Router Platform (XORP) router. This command starts up a command line inter- face (CLI), that allows the configuration of the router and monitoring of the router state. The xorpsh command provides an interactive command shell to a XORP user, similar in many ways to the role played by a Unix shell. In a production router xorpsh might be set up as an user's login shell - they would login to the router via ssh and be directly in the xorpsh. It can also be run directly from the Unix command line. xorpsh should normally be run as a regular user; it is neither necessary or desirable to run it as root. If an user is to be permitted to make changes to the running router configuration, that user needs to be in the Unix group xorp. The Debian package installation automatically sets up both a xorp user and a xorp group to which this user belongs. However, any user can run the xorpsh command unless locally restricted by the administrator. OPTIONS
xorpsh allows the following options: -h Show summary of options. -v Print verbose information. -c command Specify command(s) to execute. -t directory Specify templates directory. -e Exit immediately if cannot connect to the rtrmgr SEE ALSO
xorp_rtrmgr (8) This program is documented fully in the Xorp User Manual, chapter Command Structure, available at /usr/share/doc/xorp-doc/ in Debian sys- tems when the xorp-doc package is installed. AUTHOR
