System administrative virtues

Citazione da Essential System Administration della O’Reilly:

"I’ve written a fair amount about system administrative virtues. Let’s take oe last look at them:
Flexibility: being able to wriggle out of tight spots and escape when irate users seem to have you cornered
Ingenuity: realizing that you can use syslog to send messages to your friend on another system
Patience: remaining capable of waiting until the final sendmamil big is fixed
Persistence: the compulsion to try just-one-more-thing to fix a problem before going home
Adberence to routine: insisting on real milk and sugar-in-the-raw i your coffee
Attention to detail: noticing that the clock on one of your systems is using Aleutian time, and changing all the others to match
Laziness: writing 250 line perl script to avoid typing 15 characters
