1. Create a program which shows which applications are running at this time.
Say , it should show whether SQL server is running or Oracle, which application server is running etc.

2. Make shortcuts to stop and start server (or database server) for all the servers installed.

3. Write programs to delete and copy logs like
For Deleting:
@DEL "%EngineServerPath%\logs\*.*"

For Copying:
echo off
set YYYYMMDD=%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%
set HHMMSS=%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%
set temp=%YYYYMMDD%-%HHMMSS%

mkdir C:\Logs\%temp%
copy "%EngineServerPath%\logs\*.*" C:\Logs\%temp%\

4. Create shortcuts for anything you use frequently. You can also create a program for things. I know it may take time but believe me it will make your life easy.

5. Try to explore tools for the application you are using. Say, if you are using WebSphere MQ, find some tools on internet.
