system administration

Terry, I have limited time, but some of it is yours, if I can help.

Sure, also spidman has joined us. He's setting up the latest version of apache on access.spring.com as we speak and I hope we can get our makewebserver script working over there. We have two scripts: makedns and makewebserver which we use to create new dedicated domains such as austen.com and mem.com etc. Your help would be greatly appreciated. How much system admin stuff have you done?

Terry, As I have been a technology manager for the last 3 years, my system administration experience is all pre-web. I have and continue to day to administration and management on unix based transaction processing systems. I'm supporting AIX and Sun OS right now. Haven't touched BSD in about 3 years. Haven't done any shell scripting in a while. I'm probably a good person to monitor and troubleshoot system processes, file system utilization, do crontab management, that sort of nuts and bolts thing. 'm willing to learn, but don't want to bog you down in my learning curve. Maybe my best role is advisor to Unix novices.

I welcome your contribution, whatever form it takes. I'm learning quite a bit of AIX and SUN OS at my new job. It's keeping me so busy that I don't have near as much time to spend here as I once did.

Terry, What I intend to do is create an Austen Administration topic in deeper. I'll use this to field issues from the Austen Conference Hosts and anyone else to whom I can be of assistance. I will also monitor the Austen Help topic. From this vantage point, I can see what kind of systems issues are turning up, solve the ones I can solve and act as liaison to the yapp conference and to you for those I can't. I am slowly learning my way around yapp, so things should get easier there for me. I've covered this with Amy and the rest of her UNIX team and am going to proceed unless I hear otherwise from you. Again, thanks for giving us a home.

Please proceed and stretch the boundaries! I need to set up an admin account for you on access.spring.com. Our newest machine which only has two users so far. It's got a couple of mbs hard drive and the newest versiosn of BSDI and Apache webservers.

For new domain names, I will a procedure list of the things to do to setup a virtual host, the two scripts makedns and makewebserver work but you need to setp the IP and DNS entry first, which not easy to use a script to do... :( Just drop me a mail and I will setup for you for new virtual host name.
