go for the cert

King,

I have a Sol9 certification. But I have been a SysAdmin for more than 10 years and on a few flavors of Unix systems most notably HPUX 11.0 and Solaris 8/9 and some 10.

IMO getting certified requires some work. Job experience is not a must but if you have some experience it will help because "doing is believing" LOL. I really od not see the need to get cert for the heck of it but if you are going to pursue work as a sysadm then a cert will help you get started but you will be on the bottom of the totem pole whether you have the cert or not. Just be prepared to work on the bottom and working up. I see no reason not to get certified.

Also watch SUN's website closely in the promotions links. They often offer exams where when you buy one exam you can retake for free but its offered like 1 or 2 times a year and offered in a 1 or 2 month timeframe. So you have to catch this promotion. Not too bad to get a free retake within a year of the first failure.

I should caution you that getting this Sol10 cert if not going to land you any jobs...you'd do as well as without the cert. Experience counts as far as sysadm goes...

Good luck!

MojoMojo::Controller::Admin(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			  MojoMojo::Controller::Admin(3pm)

NAME

       MojoMojo::Controller::Admin - Site Administration

DESCRIPTION

       Action to handle management of MojoMojo. Click the admin link at the bottom of the page while logged in as admin to access these functions.

METHODS

   auto
       Access control. Only administrators should access functions in this controller.

   settings ( /.admin )
       Show settings screen.

   user ( .admin/user )
       User listing with pager, for enabling/disabling users.

   role ( .admin/role )
       Role listing, creation and assignment.

   create_role ( .admin/create_role )
       Role creation page.

   edit_role ( .admin/role/ )
       Role edit page.

   handle_role_form
       Handle role form processing.  Returns true when a submitted form was actually processed.

   update_user ( *private*)
       Update user based on user listing.

   precompile_pages
       Make a formatted version of content body and store it in content.precompiled.  This makes MojoMojo go zing, when loading content for page
       requests.

       Depending on the number of pages, and versions of them, this could take some minutes.  For 2000 page versions on a 2.4 GHz desktop this
       script took about 3 minutes to run.

   delete
       Delete a page and its descendants.  This is in MojoMojo::Controller::Admin because we are restricting page deletion to admins only for the
       time being.

       TODO: this method should reside in the Model, not in a Controller (issue #87).
