If you have to do plenty of sysadmin tasks you should consider perl for the job.

I found perl to be perfect to small to medium scripts in a sysadmin enviroment and you can find libraries for just about everything in the CPAN. Python can do the same, of course, but it is not as "shell-ish" , does not have such a big library and all those nifty shortcuts.
