I am not sure where to post this but I would go straight to the point. I have been in the IT field for 5yrs working more as an Oracle developer . However, I just got a job as the Operations / QA manager. It's a new post and so am I kinda new to it. My boss has high regards for me and specifically requested I join the company despite my being novice to this post. I am expected to monitor the uptime, throughput; server log files etc. Look for & respond to abnormalities; manage benchmark, manage hosting usuage and check websites for W3C compliance. (There is Linux, MySQL, Perl on all the servers). However, my boss just asked me for a flowchart / perl script to monitor the following:- -webserver, -Db server, -chat. Where do I start from... I have just 2 hrs to come up with the miracle solution I would appreciate any advice.. I forgot to ask for the necessary training I would need to fulfil my postion as Operation / QA Manager about from the book I have bought on Perl, Linux Admin as well as PHP & MySQL
