So for the sysadmins among us how many of you are using any of the
following to do sysadmin tasks. I'm talking here about managing your
scripts and configuration files, not using these tools to get or
install software from source:
1) make (or less likely perhaps, ant or rake)
I use this some, but mainly in the context of debian packaging. We use
a *lot* of debian packages.
2) A configuration management/repository system like cvs or subversion.
It is a policy requirement (made my me :D) that are to be used by more
than one person (i.e. by the whole SA team) must be in subversion. We
also, by extention, deploy config files to servers VIA debian
packages, so the config files are "kept" in SVN as well.
And on a scale of 0 (don't use it at all) through 1 (pure programming
language) to 10 (pure scripting language) where do you put your use of
these languages?
bash or your favorite shell - 9
perl - 0
python - 4
ruby - 0
php - 2
c(++) - 0
COBOL <G> - 0
