func | Secure remote command execution framework and tools | Mehr ...
Func allows for secure remote command-execution; similar to that which could be achieved using SSH, but offers several improvements. . Func... * operates over XMLRPC and SSL (via certmaster). * allows you to manage an arbitrary group of machines all at once. * automatically distributes certificates to all `slave' machines via certmaster. * comes with a command-line utility for sending remote commands and gathering data. * Ships with a set of modules for carrying out common tasks. * can be extended by writing custom modules, using the simple Python module API. * can be used to perform any task that is possible to carry out via the commandline. * can fully replace the requirement for `expect' or other similar automation utilities.
