It's not part of my job description and it would be really easy for me to never post again, but it's one of the things I do for BigFix that I enjoy most. I'm proud to be a part of it.A couple of interesting facts...* I joined the forum on 07/31/2006. How many days between posts is that, you ask?  Let's find out: Q: (it / 1000) of (current date - date "31 Jul 2006")A: 1 day, 01:56:38.400 Which is how many posts/day? Q: 1000 as floating point / ((current date - date "31 Jul 2006") / (1 * day))A: .9251 * The most frequent poster by far is Ben Kus, currently at 2925 and probably typing #2926 right now...  So he posts every 08:58:35 hours or 2.6737 times per day.  Get some sleep Ben!!* The next closest is Tyler Duni with 443 total.  I'm headed for a month long vacation starting tomorrow (yay!) so that should give Tyler plenty of time to catch up while I'm gone.* Today, there have been 5 new accounts registeredOkay, I have post #1001 almost ready to go so I'll stop here, but thanks again everybody!jessewk Thu, 16 Jul 2009 19:02:30 -0700 http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?pid=13848#13848 13848@http://forum.bigfix.com Topic: How to set environment variables ms cluster through bigfix Message: ah... try this:set vIDSName={preceding text of last "p" of (computer name as lowercase) & "C"} Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:22:10 -0700
