I'm a windows sysadmin by day but use nothing but *NIX whenever possible and I know some very competent Windows guys but I think across the board locally at leas the *NIX guys seem a little more competent, are more flexible and have a better understanding of the technology they use.

sysadmin
SYSADMIN(1) General Commands Manual SYSADMIN(1)
NAME
sysadmin - responsible for everything imaginable that may or may not have to do with the system you're using. Contraction of "system" and
"administrator"
SYNOPSIS
sysadmin [-ab] [-cd] [-ef] etc......
DESCRIPTION
sysadmin takes care of everything, is generally harangued, must be supplied with coffee, chocolate, and alcohol in order to function prop-
erly, cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, and must not be allowed to have a life.
sysadmin is not intended as a user interface routine; other programs provide user-friendly front ends; sysadmin is used by everyone who can
track him [her] down.
With no flags, sysadmin reads its standard input up to an EOF, or a line which sysadmin wishes to parse, and then proceeds to ignore it
entirely and read news all day. When invoked with the -w option, sysadmin reads standard input and responds according to terms of job
description.
OPTIONS
-bofh Go into Bastard Operator From Hell mode. This option causes sysadmin to use tools stored in the /usr/lib/bofh directory to parse
the standard input and route user tasks appropriately.
-cd causes sysadmin to become caffeine-deprived, resulting in system slowdowns.
-b causes the sysadmin to function normally while augmenting the standard input with beer(5). Can be used with the -t option as well,
depending upon which version of sysadmin you are running.
-t causes the sysadmin to smoke tobacco, which can result in significant performance improvement, provided you are running the correct
version of sysadmin.
-Cfile Specify an alternate configuration file (sysadmin.cf is the standard).
-dX set debuggin value to X.
-fFullname
Set the full name of the sysadmin.
-Bf Create the sysadmin.cf configuration freeze file.
-lname Sets the name of the "luser" person (that is, originator of a given request). -l can only be used by "trusted" users (who are listed
in sysadmin.cf).
NOTES
The -t option should not be used with a version of sysadmin which is not capable of parsing tobacco input. Though the functionality of
this command may seem similar to the -b option, it should not be confused with that or the related -c option.
