Summary
	Jerry will present various uses of Python as a scripting tool
	for System Administrators

Abstract
	Python is a very effective scripting language that can be used
	for adhoc tasks or major applications. It fully supports
	object orientation,classes, and modules. Jerry will demonstrate
	how Python was used on the BLU servers to reduce a 1-hour plus
	task to one of under 5 minutes. Jerry will also demo a
	graphical tool used to manage the BLU hosts. (I use this at
	work to manage 40 Unix and Linux systems.
	Jerry will show some code examples in C/C++, Perl, Bash and
	Python.
