Giorgio Zarrelli

Giorgio Zarrelli is a passionate GNU/Linux system administrator and Debian user, but has worked over the years with Windows, Mac, and OpenBSD, writing scripts, programming, installing and configuring services--whatever is required from an IT guy. He started tinkering seriously with servers back in his university days, when he took part in the Computational Philosophy Laboratory and was introduced to the Prolog language. As a young guy, he had fun being paid for playing games and write about them in video game magazines. Then he grew up and worked as an IT journalist and Nagios architect, and recently moved over to the threat intelligence field, where a lot of interesting stuff is happening nowadays. Over the years, he has worked for start-ups and well-established companies, among them In3 incubator and Onebip as a database and systems administrator, IBM as QRadar support, and Anomali as CSO, trying to find the best ways to help companies make the best out of IT. Giorgio has written several books in Italian on different topics related to IT, from Windows security to Linux system administration, covering MySQL DB administration and Bash scripting.

Summary

We now have two methods available to execute jobs: one is a daemon, which forks in the background and stays there working on some, hopefully, important tasks; the other is the schedulers, great for those jobs that must be executed with a recurring pattern. These tools can really help us to keep everything in order, and execute complex and boring tasks by easing the maintenance of a server or even a desktop. But Bash is not only made of commands, scripts, tasks, and services: it is the home we are working in on a daily basis. It is our playground, our workbench, something to get familiar with. So, the next chapter will deal with some utilities, configurations, and advice to make our Bash a cozy place to live our digital life.
