Unix Career Path
Hi,
I've been in the IT field for a few years now, less than 10. I've done a little of everything from database administration, development, systems administration, and unix administration. Although, I wouldnt say I'm a senior level in any of those. Unix definitely stands out in my preferences of a career path so I decided to look from some kind of Junior Unix Systems Administration position. I found a position that isnt exactly sa authoritive, but has unix server monitoring tasks, and one of the biggest tasks they are looking for is a junior unix scripting person. They say in the future they are looking to take over the servers completely as its being handled by another team. Do you think this would be a good opportunity to learn more unix internals as a scripter?

mbk_work_lib
MBK_WORK_LIB(1) MBK ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES MBK_WORK_LIB(1)
NAME
MBK_WORK_LIB - define the mbk working directory
SYNOPSYS
c-shell running
setenv MBK_WORK_LIB unix path
ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
Paris, France.
Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr
DESCRIPTION
MBK_WORK_LIB sets the directory where are saved the results of an invocation of mbk or genlib. This directory is considered to be, from an
mbk point of view, read and write.
Also, when a file is searched for reading, the first directory to be looked at is the MBK_WORK_LIB, and then the one defined in
MBK_CATA_LIB(1).
The unix path argument must be a actually accessible path on your host machine.
ERRORS
"mbk_fopen : can't open file 'unix_path/file.xx'"
This occurs when either the unix path is irrelevent, or when the file doesn't exist if it is open for reading, or when you don't
have the right on the file or directory while trying to write it.
EXAMPLE
setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/crechan/uom
SEE ALSO
mbk(3), genlib(1), MBK_CATA_LIB(1).
