I'm sitting here one day and I realized, I spend a lot of time on coupons.com and looking for coupon offers direct from manufacturer sites. So, why not hook up with coupons.com and offer it up to ya'll at the same time!  So I submitted an application. I'll let you know how it goes!

for i in /usr/bin/newaliases /usr/bin/mailq /usr/bin/hoststat /usr/bin/purgestat; do \
rm -f $i; \
ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail $i; \
done

Above is the basic form using a given list, but if you have a directory that is too large for normal shell expansion (typically 2 to 4 k in commond length) you can do the following which side steps that limit:

for i in `ls -1`; do \
rm -f $i; \
done

First Post... Again.

Well, yet another attempt to start something, that hopefully, I'll continue on. I've been hoping to get this done long before now, but life in general keeps throwing up roadblocks. Between work, 3 kids, a wife, 2 cats, and a dog there just isn't much time for anything else lately. Keep watch here though. I am going to be adding much more content devoted to all of that, though primarily it will pertain to tips/hints about work.

I am a network engineer and a Unix administrator by trade. What little bit of free time I do get occasionally, I spend playing game. Currently I am back to playing the online browswer based Kings of Chaos as a member of AL2's Chaos alliance. Coming soon though will be a lot of work related tips/tricks/hints and projects I have worked on, scrubbed for secruity purposes though, which might be of use to others.
