Information about Unix System Administration
I'm a newbie so I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section... if I didn't, please forgive me
I've been looking all over the web for information on system administration. I'd like to become a Unix System Administrator but I want to find some more info about the job. Can someone please give me some information(or links to websites with info) about what to major in to become one, salary figures, hours a week you would work?...
Also, if anyone is a Unix System Administrator... do you like the job? What could I expect for a starting salary? Salary after 5yrs? 10yrs? Is there good demand for this job?
Thanks

DESCRIPTION
gearman_job_st are passed to worker functions to represent jobs that are being run by gearman_worker_work().
gearman_job_free() is used to free a job. This only needs to be done if a task was created with a preallocated structure.
gearman_job_handle() returns the job handle(see gearman_job_handle_t for more information).
gearman_job_function_name() return the name of the function that the job was set to execute against.
gearman_job_unique() return the unique value that was used for gearman_job_st.
returns the gearman_job_st workload. The size of it can be determined with gearman_job_workload_size(). gearman_job_take_workload() is the
same as gearman_job_workload() with the exception that the result must be free(3) by the caller.
RETURN VALUE
A value of gearman_return_t is returned. On success that value will be :c:type::GEARMAN_SUCCESS. Use gearman_strerror() to translate
this value to a printable string.
