So yesterday I got to editing NIS passwd/group (being deprecated) files so we can add a new user and then used that information to convert it over into LDAP format. I also got into to writing a little bot that attempts to monitor some of our servers by SSH’ing into them and watching some log files and then reporting back to IRC mostly via Python. I’m excited for any new projects that come my way along with reading about new technologies that I’m unfamiliar with! I’m also noticing that some of our ticket processing steps (SOP guided) could use some more automation along with translating some older scripts to a common language in a common place 🙂
