Michael Busch III / AllTel - Sys Engineer Interview Questions

Ξ March 26th, 2008 | → | ∇ Blog |

Welp, Michael Busch III will not be doing any further Alltel Geeks commercials. I’m kind of disappointed. He was definitely the best one. It’s said that he didn’t renew his contract because he didn’t want to be stuck as “the sprint geek” for the rest of his career. Personally I think the guy is funny as hell. I’ve seen him in a few other things and have kind of become a big fan of the guy.

For the guys in my Red Hat class OR any other UNIX Systems Engineers who will be doing technical interviews, I’ve compiled a list of some of the questions that you’ll come across on a good number of these interviews.

Shell Scripting: What is the variable that tells the outcome (success/failure) of the previous command. $?

Networking: Describe the TCP Stack: TCP/IP Stack

Perl : what are the three types of variables you can have in Perl: Scalars, Hashes and Arrays

UNIX: what is an Inode : read this

UNIX: What is the default signal sent by the kill command: SIGTERM .. read this on UNIX Signals

UNIX: what is the difference between a hard link and a soft link: Read this for the answer

More to come as I think of them
