Bourne/Korn/Born Again shell, perl, and python, not necessarily in that order. Who's the client? What's he using? Solaris' root is csh. Some orgs running Solaris don't use csh for root. Know thy enemy? What are you building? Simple cron jobs, or multi-module apps? Shell scripts for the former, perl/python for the latter. If you know no perl, I'd suggest trying python first. I like perl. I barely grok python. No, that doesn't answer your _one_ language question, sorry. It's the best I can do. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
