You
can use a tool such as ControlIT to connect to NT machines. Its how I do
it, both from the office,
and
from home. How do all these people who claim you need access to the server
room to do the
day to
day stuff provide <SPAN
class=408281415-26092001>remote support? I will be damned if I come in
during the middle of the night for
a
database issue.

cracking sown on access to the computer room. <FONT

have decided the DBA group can do all their work without going
to <SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">> the server itself. This
includes Unix and NT server running both Oracle <FONT
face=Arial size=2>> and
SQL Server. We would have to use VNC Viewer and PC Anywhere. I
am <SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">> trying to put together a list
of things we might need to do that would <FONT face=Arial
size=2>> make remote
admin difficult as well as taking longer. If you have any
<SPAN

it.
<SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">How about "Your
Work"?
<SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Last time I looked it's rather
hard to run svrmgrl without access to <FONT face=Arial
size=2>the command
line. So long as you don't want to start or stop the
<SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">database this probably won't have
any effect.
<SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Checking free disk space is also
simpler with "df". You can, perhaps, <FONT face=Arial
size=2>memorize the nubmber
of blocks on every device and compare them to the <FONT
face=Arial size=2>free space
reported by Oracle each morning.
<SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Simplest method would be to say
"no we don't need it now, what is the <FONT face=Arial
size=2>pager number of
someone we can use if we do need things done?" Make
<SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">a point of paging them every time
you need something from the shell, <FONT face=Arial

That person will, I'm sure, be happy to compile a list <FONT
