Any administrator, (DBA or SYSADMIN) should be able to automate basic tasks and build an architecture where they are alerted to pending issues BEFORE they become a problem. Just like George Jetson, they come-in, press the button, and kick-back. I give my people one "grace" when there is a system or database problem. They do a post-mortem, quantify the conditions that precipitated the issue, and build an alert to notify them before it happens again. Amen!
