Thanks, I enjoyed it!

It made me realize that I must have never really known what job you were interviewing for. I guess I just assumed it was a programming position, but your description sound more like an admin. I must have been a real slacker, even before you left. I mean, sure, things were moving quickly there at the end, but surely I'd have some idea what you were doing. :(

Of course, even now I only know what you're doing in an abstract way, without any sense of the scope or specifics. :)

I sat down to write a much more technically descriptive entry of what I do - of which daemon-killing is a somewhat small part, but figured it wouldn't be nearly as fun as writing this.

I'll probably follow up with a more detailed description of what I do later, but it's very difficult to explain what I do to most people.

You could make it a three-part series:

1) fun description

2) technical description

3) user-friendly description

I'm sure this command would get rid of those pesky daemons permanently (at least until a reboot...even then, the daemons might be crippled):

kill -9 `ps -ef | awk '{print $2}'`

It'll be fun!
