Thought I had sen it all.. But apparently not!

If you so desperately wanted to pass the course why didn't you actually do the coursework?

Nobody in the unix world will answer your exam for you.. we only help people who help themselves.. I haven't ever been asked a question in an exam which hadn't been covered at some point in the course.

Thanks for the enjoyable 10 minute quiz, it was fun. It looks like the Redhat certification paper, with a few course module/system specific questions thrown in.

Welcome to unix world.. IF you had asked the questions differently, like "I don't understand how foo command works, and bar, and xxx, and yyy you might have had more luck, but as it is.. What kind of sysop would you make?? And don't you think the first time you sit down at a terminal it would show that you know not very much??

My first large systems job was back in the days before the internet.. "This is your console.. there is any reference material you may need if you don't understand how the system works (points at large shelf groaning under massive unix manuals and folders stuffed with printouts). Your predecessor was a genius, but he became too ill to work, and oddly unhelpful.. so we had to let him go and took on somebody younger. Don't worry about anything too much.. just keep the system up.. and DON'T LOSE OUR CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS whatever you do.. (the look told me this had happened before and cost somebody their job). There are 2 kinds of unix sysops.. those who don't know what they are doing, and those who know they don't know what they are doing.. I'm in the second category (looooolz)

Let's ask some other people who do *nix for a living... I bet they remember those days all too clearly. Don't expect sympathy.. we learned it the hard way, and so should you (can you do my exam for me?.. I ask you)

Next time try going to class??

Now in the best BOFH manner [sarcasm] "Have a Nice Day" [/sarcasm]

(oh.. I would have printed nice answers to all these questions, not necessarily in the right order, for 20% of your first 10 years salary, only.. I don't want to post my bank details for your standing order)
