I'm agree with Kevin Reiter about that C language is not necessary to admin
any UNIX but I think that it is necessary to have a good level of shell
programming. The real question is: What shell should be considered the de
facto standard for shell programming? csh? ksh? sh?
Or derivatives as tcsh, bash, o zsh?
It would be sh. Most shell scripts are written with /bin/sh. We can't
assume that /bin/sh is "ksh" especially since some versions of ksh are
different than other versions of ksh. Also, bashisms would not be
appropriate for base BSD installs.
I also think that a good level of shell programming is useful. We don't
know yet how basic of Unix essentials and shell programming the certs will
cover yet. The survey was very long as it was and it didn't even get to
details covering "Unix" fundamentals.
