Sorry ; I think your questions are completely off-topic here and even worse :
you will get much better answers elsewhere .

Why not try some UNIX administration/user newsgroup instead ? People seem to
hang around there all day waiting for a chance to provide useful answers .

It seems one of the first questions back could be : which UNIX derivate do you
use , so you might like to add this to your question .
