FWIW, your question is the equivalent of saying "I'm an hp 41c programmer, and I've just taken the role of project manager for a bunch of C# projects, never done any pm work before, I know nothing about C#, but could you give me a couple of pointers?".

Yes, it depends what you are trying to do, if you want to automate a specific task on a specific server, than traditionally people use bash, bash is both the default interactive environment aka the shell, and a scripting language. Note that a lot of the programing principles in bash go against modern best practices so some people now use ruby or python for automation. There are also a lot of facilities provided on UNIX systems for automation, such as crontab, init.d scripts (and systemd on some distro), at, etc... If you're looking for automating the configuration of a fleet of servers then you should look into cfengine, puppet, chef, ansible etc... > Is there a reliable method of interacting with SSH?
