General Query
Hi all

My job is to bootup the servers (1 sun solaris 5.8, 3 sco (release 5) and 1 windows 2000), taking backup of the servers and shut down.

Apart from this, there are nearly 150 users for our oracle9i database (forms 3 and d2k as front end). As for as oracle 9i is concerned my job is to take the exports and several other back ups.

We also process and generate proc's, sql, plsql and scripted shells and print the reports in the line printers.

i know a little shell scripting which i do mainly for printing and jobs execution and for taking backup, oracle & developer 2000 and a little visual basic.

Now how should i call myself. Because i need a switch over by the end of this year. Please advice me as to how my career should be developed.

I am working as a console operator for the past 4 yrs. Is this really a console job or what are the other things should i learn. for information i am very much interested in learning unix. If this be the case, then in which should i concentrate more.

Expecting a detailed reply.

Thanks for reading and appreciations for answering.
