| EARN $100 FOR YOUR LINUX SHELL SCRIPTS |
| A favored method administrators use to automate repetitive |
| tasks and push out changes across a network is scripting. |
| Hence, admins often build up a library of shell scripts to |
| manipulate various functions in a Linux or UNIX-based |
| network. Let TechRepublic pay you for your original scripts |
| to be published as downloads on TechRepublic.com and allow |
| fellow IT professionals to benefit from your scripting |
| savvy. We only ask that you put in appropriate comments so |
| that it's easy to tell what the script is doing and which |
| variables might need to be customized. We'll pay you $100 |
| for each Linux shell script we publish as a TechRepublic |
| download, so send your original Linux shell scripts to: |
