Administrator's Cookbook

Here we explain how to do relatively simple but important administrative tasks. Naturally, for most/all of these, you will need administrator privileges. (This list is essentially never-ending, and the initial 10 sets of tasks listed below are merely a beginning; please add more as you see fit.)

• recover 'hung' CWs

• add/remove users

• add/remove printers from servers/CWs

• add/remove mail lists

• backups: adding disks (e.g., 2nd pair to jupiter when needed); recovering files from backup

• change quotas (in file and mail server)

• instal new CWs (including 'manual' bits like those dealing with AIPS)

• format external disks for CW backups

• replace 'bad' (SCSI) disks

• check all important logs
