The moral: Learn as much as possible and practice what you know.

I hear ya. I'm not limiting myself to just 10. I figured between the 10 tasks that 'x' number of admins come up with, I might discover a task I hadn't thought of or just to kind of get a feel for what the general duties of many/most admins are.

I am learning as much as I can and I have learned a lot already. I work in a Unix environment and little difficulty getting around and working with Unix. I'm just trying to get a BETTER handle on what the typical or most typical duties of a Unix sysadmin are.

Not to sound like an ingrate because I appreciate your comments. But why is it so difficult to get people to just mention what they often/usually do during a typical shift?
