I am a Linux Systems administrator with a wide variety of skills and experience. As you may notice my bid is low as I do not have any existing reputation on freelancer.com and would like the opportunity to show you that I am a professional, competent person with the necessary skills/knowledge to complete this project to your expectations and on time.
I have a lot of experience writing bash scripts and have even written several that manage services in a variety of ways. I am confident that I can complete a script that meets all of your requirements in a reasonable time-frame, in this case less than a day after being assigned this project.
Please contact me with any questions or additional information you have on this project and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Finally, if you decide not to select me for this project, would you please take the time to provide me with feedback so I can improve my proposals.
Again, thank you for the consideration,
-Troy
