Since Oracle bought Sun i've jumped with both feets in the Linux bandwagon... i still love the Sparc architecture and Solaris but it's market is dying ... so is HP-UX (in my humble opinion). I've also drank the cloud koolaid with CI, CM, Agile and what not. I believe the pure sysadmin job is transitionning into the devops creature.
I've just switched jobs at 43 and add 40 compagnies contact me within in a month. Yes i'm in Europe but US is a more dynamic market. It should be the same if not easier.

Hi all - I have an issue with our (way old) single processor SunFire 280R, running Solaris 9.0.4.

qorder
qorder(1B) PBS qorder(1B)
NAME
qorder - exchange order of two pbs batch jobs in a queue.
SYNOPSIS
qorder job_identifier job_identifier
DESCRIPTION
To order two jobs is to exchange the jobs positions in the queue or queues in which the jobs resides. The two jobs must be located at the
same server. No attribute of the job, such as priority is changed. The impact of interchanging the order with the queue(s) is dependent
on local job scheduled policy, contact your systems administrator.
A job in the running state cannot be reordered.
OPERANDS
Both operands are job_identifiers which specify the jobs to be exchanged. The qorder command accepts two job_identifier operands of the
form:
sequence_number[.server_name][@server]
The server specification for the two jobs must agree as to the current location of the two job IDs.
STANDARD ERROR
The qorder command will write diagnostic messages to standard error for each error occurrence.
EXIT STATUS
Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qorder command, the exit status will be a value of zero.
If the qorder command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
