    java for sysadm

    I've been wondering if java is any good at sysadm work on a routine bases,
    or am I better off with perl/python, etc?

    thanks

    you are *way* better off with perl/python. of the two i prefer python,
    but the choice is up to you. imo any language that requires compilation
    is a poor choice for system adminstration.. .

    plus java plain old sucks and file and string i/o.

      I'm using Java for DB admin work since it is cross platform.
      I can write a utility and know it can be used on any machine the team
      members happen to be using.
