Sr. UNIX Systems Support Analyst

• Linux Admin/Installer on pilot project to move Oracle to Linux/ProLiant Servers from HP-UX. I configured the ML-530, drivers, and Linux.
• Ported C code for qla2300 driver to Suse Linux, for above project.
• Primary Unix member of Disaster Planning team effort, as well as Plan B Plan C project.
• Wrote user access control system using Unix shell awk scripts, which only allowed login access to specific network addresses. Worked over telnet and SSH. Users could work from home by registration process, which did not require human involvement. It ran on Linux, HP-UX, and SCO.
• Installed and configured Samba on all servers, to allow easy file transfers. Participated in project to change telephony servers to Linux from OS/2.
• Configured all Unix mail MMDF Sendmail services to flow through Lotus Notes.
• Led project to design, code, and implement the replacement of Open View systems monitoring software. Written using bash, and Kermit.
• Created a Universal Monitoring Alert System with the following features:
• I. Any abnormal condition could be configured to generate emails and Mobile text messages.
• II. Could be used by a user, or any type of Unix process, and any programming language.
• III. Applications did not have to be recompiled.
• IV. Users could specify severity of the error, and who should be alerted. .
• Coded an application for automatic conversion of reports to PDF, and present them on the web.
• Wrote an application to relocate reports of a certain age to on-disk archive, allowing users access, without requiring a tape restore.
• Participated in projects to redesign COBOL applications to make them more efficient, stable, and web accessible.
• Created a tool for remote users to transparently print reports on their Windows printer, when using ssh or telnet/Citrix.
• Recommended and implemented a project to replace COBOL batch system. Projected Savings 16,000/year. Written in C, shell, and awk.
• Led Project to developed helper applications that were used to extend the capabilities of COBOL programs. These programs were coded in C, Bourne shell, awk, and Kermit. This provided functions such as direct deposit, encryption, interfacing with MS-Access.
• Led Project to enhance batch processes for Operations staff, resulting in 80 fewer mistakes, and overall reliability.
• Wrote an application 30 in C language to enhance COTS printing system in the following ways:
• I. ON GUARD automatic monitoring for all jobs. No loss under error conditions, such as printer power off.
• II. FULL Job Control: User could start printing from any page, print a range of pages 76 to 114 , print any single page, cancel, spool on hold to allow for check paper or other paper changes , move jobs to a new target device.
• III. DUAL Backup. The proprietary system, saved a copy of a job in a special area. My system saved the banner and print job to another area, so that jobs could be reprinted days or weeks later.
• IV. EXTREME user interface. A command screen so efficient and intuitive, that users could change a job or jobs with less than 4 keystrokes They refused to use the GUI
• V. For night operations with HP-9050 printers, bi-directional communications, tied into the email based ALERT system. Everyone on call knew when a printer was failing.
• VI. On demand Customization of Banner Pages: Banners could have the following options: Portrait/Landscape, Color, message/routing instructions, Timestamp on file, Time of printing, name of person that requested the job, Target Printer, No Banner.
