system mangler
<humour> A humorous synonym for "system manager", possibly from the fact
that one major IBM operating system had a root account called SYSMANGR. The term
refers specifically to a systems programmer in charge of administration,
software maintenance, and updates at some site. Unlike admin, this term
emphasises the technical end of the skills involved.
