    I did that years ago to make backup reports and job monitoring on old servers with uncommon operating systems at work.

    Before my script, coworkers and I had to connect to more than a dozen servers and fill reports about the status of backups and the server. It took about 20 minutes if all went well. Now we just click a button and the report is filled automatically.

    It may just be 20 minutes a day, or maybe less if you were quick, but we’re still using it and it’s been nearly a decade. It saved a lot of minutes in the end. More time for naps.
