Of course that's exactly when everyone's beepers will go off :-)

Hi Conrad,

I think the easiest and best way to show your appreciation is to take your sysadmins out to lunch and tell them that you appreciate them. Ask their opinions on how things are going, listen to what they say and consider it, even if you can't ultimately take their suggestions.

If there are enough teams that you can't take them all to lunch, just sending an email to remind them that you know they exist and appreciate what they do, then offer to listen to their concerns or suggestions. Everyone wants to know that they're valued.

    Hi,

    Apparently is sysadmin appreciation day on the last friday of july.
    according to wikipedia[1]:
    "The holiday has been recognized and promoted by many IT professional
    organizations, the League of Professional System Administrators and
    SAGE/USENIX.[6]"

    Since I want to honour several teams of sysadmins, is there any
    kind of
    etiquette/tradition I should know about?
    How do you (if at all) go about sysadmin appreciation day?
