sysadmin

[meta] Sysadmin

Meta-plugin for system administration workflows on Linux systems.

Installation

/plugin install sysadmin@2389-research

This will automatically install:

• remote-system-maintenance -- structured Linux diagnostics and cleanup

What this provides

Remote system maintenance

Structured procedures for diagnosing and maintaining remote Linux systems via SSH/tmux.

Diagnostics run in three phases:

1. Initial diagnostics (hostname, resources, processes, zombies)
2. System log review (errors, journal consumption, service status)
3. Package assessment (upgradable, orphaned, cached)

Cleanup runs in seven stages:

1. apt update -- refresh package lists
2. apt upgrade -- apply security fixes
3. apt autoremove -- remove unused dependencies
4. apt clean -- purge package cache
5. journalctl vacuum -- prune old logs
6. snap cleanup -- remove disabled revisions (500MB-2GB savings!)
7. /tmp assessment -- check temporary directories

Expect to recover 2+ GB in a comprehensive session.

Why a meta-plugin?

Right now it just wraps remote-system-maintenance, but it gives you clear categorization (sysadmin vs development tools), a place to add future sysadmin tools, and a semantic install path (/plugin install sysadmin).

Future additions

• Docker cleanup workflows
• Log analysis tools
• Performance monitoring
• Backup verification
• Security hardening checklists
