I've never written a C program for use as a systems admin in eight years (I have written a *lot* of C, but that was as a programmer); it's all shell scripting and perl. Python seems to be up-and-down in popularity. The thing to focus on is what *system* tasks you need to do as an admin, and that's where perl, and I guess python (and I've a friend who's a TK/TCL fan) are what you need. I'd also recommend korn, in addition to bash; korn is what's generally used in production on non-Linux systems, rather than bash. mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
