Career advice

I am a junior unix sys admin (Tru64) I have been in this job for 9 months and I am quite worried.

When I first got the job I was delighted as I was finally in a job where I could have the chance to be a specialist in a field rather than being a general support guy (i graduated from uni and got my first job was working on a service desk) but after a while I found out about the fate of tru64 and wondered if I may become obsolete before my career has barely started!

I am just wondering if some of you experienced guys could give me some advice on what I should be learning or which direction I could take to make sure that I don't find myself completely unable to get a job in the future.

I am currently leaning redhat in my spare time and I have also got permission to join the SAN team in my office whenever I want but is this the best direction? Should I be concentrating solely on Tru64 and making sure I can be as good as I can be? or will this be a waste? as it will be gone soon so i will have to migrate to something else.

Any help would be appreciated as i'm worrying so much about it.

Smilie

faxrm(1)						       mgetty+sendfax manual							  faxrm(1)

NAME
faxrm - remove fax jobs queued by faxspool(1) SYNOPSIS
faxrm [-i] [job-ids...] DESCRIPTION
Remove job(s) from the fax queue set up by faxspool(1). faxrm removes queued fax jobs. Call with a list of job-IDs to remove specific jobs. Call with no job IDs to be asked interactively about all jobs you own (if run by root, all jobs). For job-id, use the strings returned by faxq(1) (e.g. F000015), without the ``/JOB'' exten- tion. If you are not the owner of the fax job (as per the 'user xyz' statement inside the JOB file), you are not allowed to remove the fax job. Only root is permitted to remove another user's faxes. If the job is locked (most likely because sendfax(8) is active sending it), faxrm doesn't attempt to remove it. Instead, it prints a warn- ing message on stderr and goes on to the next job. EXAMPLES
faxrm F000005 F000033 OPTIONS
-i (interactive mode) Tells faxrm to ask for confirmation before removing the job (UNIMPLEMENTED). BUGS
faxrm doesn't return diagnostic exit codes yet. SEE ALSO
