I have 6,000 Macbooks, about 2,000+ Mac desktops, and 33 or so Xserves.

Now for all my responsibilities....

-Systems Administrator
-Network Administrator
-Directory Administrator (LDAP and Open Directory)
-Server Administrator
-Package creation and deployment
-Image creation and Deployment
-Casper Administrator
-End user support
-internal documentation and training
-Making very crappy developed products work on the Macs (mostly edu apps)
-stop the sky from falling
-Maintenance and repair on all that is Mac

So basically, whenever something needs to get fixed, pushed out, deployed, or created it generally falls in my lap. I also have to do end user support as well. The good news is, I am never bored since I do almost everything, the bad news is, I have to do everything. I do wish I could specialize in other things at times, but I do like the ability to have my hands in almost everything. To be honest, I like doing most things myself, that way it gets done my way and almost always right the first time.

sounds like technical support to me. *shrug*

Starting over, making a living with linux?

I really like to use linux, although I freely admit I don't know squat about it. I can install it, update it and get it to most of what I would like it to do, up to running some windows apps on it. I am going back so to school starting on the 25th, with a declared major of Information...

globus-gatekeeper-admin

GLOBUS-GATEKEEPER-(8)					       University of Chicago					     GLOBUS-GATEKEEPER-(8)

NAME

       globus-gatekeeper-admin - Manage globus-gatekeeper services

SYNOPSIS

       globus-gatekeeper-admin [-h]

       globus-gatekeeper-admin [-l] [-n NAME]

       globus-gatekeeper-admin [-e SERVICE] [-n NAME]

       globus-gatekeeper-admin [-E]

       globus-gatekeeper-admin [-d SERVICE]

DESCRIPTION

       The globus-gatekeeper-admin program manages service entries which are used by the globus-gatekeeper to execute services. Service entries
       are located in the /etc/grid-services directory. The globus-gatekeeper-admin can list, enable, or disable specific services, or set a
       service as the default. The -h command-line option shows a brief usage message.

   Listing services
       The -l command-line option to globus-gatekeeper-admin will cause it to list all of the services which are available to be run by the
       globus-gatekeeper. In the output, the service name will be followed by its status in brackets. Possible status strings are ENABLED,
       DISABLED, and ALIAS to NAME, where NAME is another service name.

       If the -n NAME is used, then only information about the service named NAME is printed.

   Enabling services
       The -e SERVICE command-line option to globus-gatekeeper-admin will cause it to enable a service so that it may be run by the
       globus-gatekeeper.

       If the -n NAME option is used as well, then the service will be enabled with the alias NAME.

   Enabling a default service
       The -E command-line option to globus-gatekeeper-admin will cause it to enable a service alias with the name jobmanager. The
       globus-gatekeeper-admin program will choose the first service it finds as the default. To enable a particular service as the default, use
       the -e parameter described above with the -n parameter.

   Disabling services
       The -d SERVICE command-line option to globus-gatekeeper-admin will cause it to disable a service so that it may not be run by the
       globus-gatekeeper. All aliases to a disabled service are also disabled.
