The [tt]stsadm[/tt] command is a very powerful tool for SharePoint server administrators. It is available in both SharePoint Server (MOSS) and SharePoint Services (WSS).
It can perform a wide variety of functions including backup/restore, web application creation, site configuration. Sometimes is is the only way to perform certain actions (e.g. changing the server farm account).
Some SharePoint patches released by Microsoft upgrade [tt]stsadm[/tt] with additional operations so the list if ever-changing. However, as at 22nd Jan 2008, this Technet page appears to have the latest information for the WSS 3.0 version:
