GAHHHH!
Nothing like finishing up some simple CAT5 cables only to find that the battery in your tester has

Simple tool, the LinkMaster - Just tests the pairs...
http://cdn4.jensentools.com/images/p/11855-g.01_s310_p1.Va497dc8e.jpgbut it uses a stupid 28L or 2CR11108 6v battery
I would like to use it now rather than... rather than... GAH
Oh wait,..6v? No problem. USB Powerbooster pumps out 5.2v... Hmm, will a USB port power it? Uhm YUP>
Not buying batteries for this again... I'll jack it to run off a small USB battery pack...

Update to the network definitions last night causes users computer to BSOD when launching one of our applications.

I imagine in the Linux world backing up and restoring scheduled tasks would look something like this:
- Make a copy of the files related to cron (like crontab)
- [something happenes to your scheduled tasks]
- Replace damaged files related to cron with your copies.
Am I right? Is it truly that simple?
At least with Windows Server, I've found that copying the contents of c:\windows\system32\tasks then transplanting the contents into the same folder for a test server, doesn't cut it. As I'll need to go through an import setp to get stuff setup in the Task Scheduler.

I laugh a bit about how I'd have far less head-against-the-wall beatings if we were a Linux shop. -

Depends on the type of file, but generally yes.

Not my network. This client, we only write custom billing software for.
