Yes, that would be a reason to consider an off-the-shell solution.
The Perl-automation here runs more or less autonomic and doesn't
require much maintenance.

A nice side note is that in a former job, the TSM admin used
Rexx to automate his Windows (then) ADSM server. Since I come
from an Amiga background I had experience with ARexx, but all
the other Windows admins had no clue about Rexx. :)

I guess a lot depends on the specifics of each installation.
