/*begin OBRant*/ After writing that last mail it appeared course, but I'm a bit tired of the 'check the man page' answer. Mayhaps I a wee bit altruistic but I think sysadmins should understand that man pages should be your first resource. I'm personally taken aback by that response but, I do realize that a goodly portion of questions asked by netizens are asked without any time researching or understanding the problem. We, I'm assuming 'we' here, are not netizens, were sysadmins; and exist in a completely different phylum as I understand it.
Or a better resource would be:
ucan.foad.org#man sysadmin man: Formatting manual page... SYSADMIN(1) SYSADMIN(1) NAME sysadmin - responsible for everything imaginable that may or may not have to do with the system you're using. Con- traction of "system" and "administrator"

Sorry 'bout that, It's been Monday all week long.
