Some servers don&#39;t have PHP-CLI installed, only the Apache module. That&#39;s the only hangup I&#39;ve found.<br>Eric<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 6:43 PM, Alex Dean <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:alex@crackpot.org">alex@crackpot.org</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Well Shell looks like Chinese to me.  I bet I can learn it as I have learned a number of languages.  I think knowing what to do [with Linux] might be more difficult than learning a language.  I did some PERL scripting about 10 years ago.  Seems simple enough.<br>

Since it is half a dozen of one or 6 of the other, I&#39;m wondering which would give me more mileage since I am currently doing PHP?<br>

If you know PHP, are comfortable with PHP, and PHP is on the servers you need to do your scripting on, use PHP.  You&#39;ll get your work done faster, with fewer errors, and less maintenance hassles down the road.  I don&#39;t see the need to learn another language just for &#39;admin&#39; work.<div>
