Hi,
    I wrote a directory cleanup program for windows 2000. The example of ini
file is below.
    So yes, you can use Ruby for Sysadmin work.
    BUT, you need to know what you want the program to do and put the time
in.
    The cleanup program was my second program in Ruby.  Writing a program,
that you need, is the best way to learn a language.
    I find that following a book is confusing at times.

   If you want a copy of the program, let me know.  Document is a not done
yet.
