What is a systems administration?

A system (specifically, a computer system) is something of a nebulous term. When average people think of a "computer system," they think of a desktop machine that interfaces directly to a human being. In these sorts of systems, much of the computer's time is spent controlling a graphical display, painting windows on the screen, and responding to the user's every gesture and command.

Another common definition of a computer system involves machines that don't necessarily have a human sitting on a locally attached keyboard and screen. A server generally is designed to perform a couple of tasks, nearly always involving the squeezing of information down a network connection as quickly as possible. It pulls that information from some sort of storage (like the filesystem, a database, or somewhere else on the network) and delivers that information over the network to whomever requested it, be it a human being connected to a web server, a user sitting in a shell, or over a port to another server entirely. In this scenario, the term "system" extends to include not only physical computers, but the switches, routers, and physical infrastructure that connects a series of servers to a network, and eventually, on to the Internet. An organization with many servers will likely employ a team of system administrators, who are frequently on call 24/7 to respond to system problems as they arise.

It is under these circumstances that system administrators find their responsibilities lying somewhere between deity and janitor. Ultimately, the sysadmin's job is to provide access to system resources as quickly as possible. This job involves both the ability to design new systems (that may or may not be rooted in solutions that already exist), and having a talent for cleaning up after people who use that system without any concept of what "resource management" really means.

The most successful sysadmins remove themselves from the path of access to system resources, and let the machines do all of the work. As a user, you know that your sysadmin is effective when you have the tools you need to get your job done, and you never need to ask your sysadmin for anything. To pull off (that is, to hack) this impossible-sounding task requires that the sysadmin anticipate what the users' needs will be, and make the most efficient use possible of the available resources.

A competent sysadmin must necessarily be a jack-of-all-trades. To be truly effective, you'll need to be able to handle every problem the system throws at you, from power on to halt. This site is a collection of valuable, hard-learned techniques that professional system administrators use to get the job done.
