Dear developers,
It seems that nobody has any objection to using libssh for remote
Unix/Linux inventory/installation; hence, I am going to start coding.
I don't understand what you are trying to do here.
If it's just a wizard to help to create a configuration file, added
value over a simple text editor and a good documentation is quite low,
unless eventually on windows world, where editing the registry is quite
painful. Goneri already started some work here I think.
I was trying to expand the GUI that Goneri developed to do the same
thing on Windows and UNIX. I thought having the same functionality on
UNIX as well as Windows in the same GUI would be nice.
If it's a wrapper over 'run an hard-coded command over ssh so as to be
able to install the agent on another host just by clicking a single
button', it's even worse. First, they are much better dedicated
management framework for such kind of issues, such as cfengine, puppet,
etc... Second, if you don't have this kind of tool ready to use, you can
still use ssh directly:
for i in host1 host2 host3; do
scp payload $i:;
ssh $i ./payload;
done
So, I don't have objection (that's your time after all), but I don't
think the added value is worth the development effort. Agent
configuration and deploiement could be made easier, indeed, but I don't
think fancy GUIs (especially in native code) will help very much here.
Of course if you think that the added value is not worth the development
effort, I would rather spend my time on a more useful thing :)
Anyway, this GUI is not targeted to users like you and me: I use
something like the scp/ssh command you have mentioned.
Cheers,
Amir Pakdel
