About the System ADMINistrator Tools

If you are a Unix system administrator who is taking care of multiple servers, you probably created some scripts to help you keeping your environment stable. With SADMIN you can be alerted when something goes wrong, when a script fail or just to let you know that your script ran with success. You can received these alerts by email or on your mobile or tablet device using the Slack application. SADMIN surely can help you, improve and standardize the administration of your server farm.
