Usually a daemon is a service that listens for something to request a process and then starts up the process in response to the request, and sometimes opens up a network socket for it as well.

Tab8715 posted:Is there any actual difference between a process (Windows) compared to a daemon (Linux)? The same distinction between process/daemon/service exists in Linux, too. Process -> everything Daemon -> (generally) background process not attached to any STDIN, without a GUI, probably with open ports. In Linux, "nohup /usr/bin/sshd" would be daemonized, but not a service. Service -> (generally) a monitored daemon which gets told to stop/start/restart when the system boots/reboots, it dies, or some other condition changes (network, whatever)

Well after I hosed myself out of a guaranteed full time position with the Sheriff's department that I've been at for the last 2 1/2 years I am finally YOTJing. It's a small bump in pay but the main gain is in benefits and retirement savings. I'm sure working at a small MSP will be hell but it will beat the boredom I experience here and I'll be able to actually touch new things so I should be able to jump ship for a proper system admin job in a year.

I think the new job is going pretty well. It's amazing what a difference a competent manager can make. I need to learn about VMware/storage pretty quickly. I've never done AD stuff before but it doesn't seem too complex. I am sure there is a ton of stuff that's not on the surface but just getting the basics seems good enough for now at least. I'm trying to do things in the ADAC instead of ADUC wherever possible. What is the difference between making AD changes on the DC vs doing them locally (I have a server that I do admin tasks from)? I've just used my local machine, but any time my boss shows me stuff he remotes to a DC

Doing it locally is the right way to do it. By using RDP or other tools to remote to the server, you're unnecessarily using system resources. It probably won't cause any harm but it's not best practices. If you can get him to kick that habit, you can go with server core in the future and run a leaner setup. Continue using ADAC and start copying out the Powershell scripts it generates. As you get better, you'll eventually graduate to Powershell administration.

Any tips to start getting hands on networking stuff in the workplace? I work with like a 4 man team and we support a good amount of small to medium sized businesses. I'm taking ICND2 in a month but I feel like what I'm learning from studying and what I learn from listening/reading configs at work is wildly different. Should I just wait until I have my CCNA and then start trying to snatch any tickets I see come in that seem to be network related?

That's why Cisco tac exists. I spent hours diagnosing why a company's unity licence was expired then my coworker looked at it for five minutes and figured out there were too many seats. And I'm taking ccna voice exam in an hour. Experience matters.

That's normal both because people implement stupid hacks or are ignorant of some functions and because some of the class material is hopelessly idealistic and certain things cannot be practically implemented outside an ivory tower. The key to being good that tends to come from experience is to tell the difference between the two.

keseph posted:because some of the class material is hopelessly idealistic and certain things cannot be practically implemented outside an ivory tower. The key to being good that tends to come from experience is to tell the difference between the two. Absolutely. For instance the actual MCSE materials (2003/2008) era make it sounds like the built in remote/VPN solution in Windows Server (ISA) is great and fantastic and in widespread use, whereas far as I know even in the heyday of Server 2003 not that many people used it. Even while I was going through the learning process to get those certs, which I did before even having an IT job (paper tiger ahoy), I could tell that some of this stuff was clearly Microsoft trying to teach you to use their built-in solution but that the real world probably did not generally use it because of configuration difficulty, unreliability, or simply that someone else had a much better solution (i.e. why would you terminate a critical service like VPN on a full-blown server operating system rather than a network device that theoretically is more locked down and less likely to crash randomly). And then yeah, a lot of people don't know what best practice or recommended config looks like (or it's changed since it was set up, see under AD domains ending in .local), so you look at it and go "that doesn't match with what Cisco/Microsoft/VMware says you should do" and then either the person who did it goes "I know, but here's why I chose this design and made the decision to go against their recommendation", or "derpity I've always done it this way seems to work we shouldn't change it". The latter situation is when you start figuring out if that person is amenable to arguments as to why they're wrong and willing to change, or whether you should start considering YOTJ.

Other site had a layoff and a voluntary termination, so they jacked one of our guys. On call rotation is shrunk by that much. This job is super chill, but it's starting to get less attractive. The pay is going nowhere, advancement isn't really a possibility, and the on calls get more frequent. I'm hitting my 3 year next year. It might be time to cert up and . I love this site, but the money isn't cutting it.

Yea I find it a bit dumb too and think it could potentially scrape a good candidate even if it's not me. There is still another interview process if I pass this one, direct with the client. This technical screening is done by the recruitment company to decide if they ship off the resume to the client..Thanks Ants posted:Are you not Networking Jesus? I suppose - this positions not even that network technical, I work with wayyyyyy more advanced poo poo at my current contract - but this government job wants a Networking + LAMP developer which I kind of am and can be hard to find so they are paying ridiculous for it.

Some of our clients make us roll candidates through tech screens. It's a pain in the rear end (because I generally have only basic knowledge of the topic) but ultimately as a recruiter I don't want you to fail unless you come across as a real dummy. Maybe ask the recruiter if he will give you the questions ahead of time so you can prep?

It is the type of service I would consider if I was hiring someone with way more expertise than I have in an area. Pay a friendly engineer who I trust to lab up and grill high level applicants before the screening for culture fit type of thing.

Today, our pre-sales guys were bitching about the fact that we're completing projects in less time than they're scoping into the contracts. That's what happens when you go with a FFP contract for an easy project, dudes. Maybe start pushing T&M if you're so worried about customers complaining about buying hours they don't need.

I'm loving the so far. It's amazing how dysfunctional my last job was, compared to this job. An office where everyone isn't talking about dicks 24x7? A place where people actually discuss things and share information? Where there's money for things that are needed--or even just nice to have? I don't think I'm going to be a contractor for long either, so that's good too.
