> How do you define "sys admin task"?

Actually, that is not easy for me to define. I can give examples:

- apply an update to 200 servers running the same version of Linux.

- remove a user from the LDAP directory.

- issue the same command on a series of servers, working from a list
of servers in a text file i.e.:

../docommand.php serverlist.txt "command"

- shutdown and re-start a process that takes several steps to shutdown
and restart. Best if this could be done from the process name.

- give me a report of all users who have not logged in within the last
seven days.

- give me a list users who have more than 100mb of files in their home
directories. If a user has less than 100mb of files in their home
directory, then set their quota to 100mb.

Please don't actually tell me how to do any of that. I'm just
wondering if those sorts of things can be done.
