Ah, I would like to disagree with part of your post regarding who Nagios is written ;
Nagios is written in C. It has a built in perl interpreter to run plugins that are written in perl faster, but even so, all of the official plugins that come with Nagios are written in in C as well. Nagios is not written in Perl: # find nagios-2.9/ -name *.c | wc -l 50 Using the 'Blue' java port of nagios wouldn't eliminate the use of perl in any fashion - the only components of Nagios that use perl are contributed and custom plugins - if you're using those under Nagios or under 'Blue', they're still going to be perl/lisp/python/ruby/whatever. Another thing I can't help but think about is; how is changing the language from anything to perl going to make it not open sourced? I'm sorry you work / live in a world where open sourced software and perl are looked down upon and the policy is to avoid such things. .r' Baytalskiy, Sal wrote: > Using Nagios as an example. > Its written also in Perl, but there's a Java port which basically eliminates > the installation completely. > Download a bunch JARs and fire up Java. > If there was a port of RT in Java - this would do wonders for the adoption > rate. > Many big corporation don't allow open source stuff and Perl-based software > in particular... > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mathew Snyder > Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 2:20 AM > To: Jesse Vincent > Cc: RT Users > Subject: Re: [rt-users] RT 4 > > The ability to customize the colors easily from the Configuration menu. > > Mathew > Keep up with me and what I'm up to: http://theillien.blogspot.com > > > Jesse Vincent wrote: > >> If, for the sake of argument, Best Practical were to rewrite RT, what >> would you want to see in the new product? >> >> Think big. >> >> Jesse >> >> >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> -- >> >> _______________________________________________ >> http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users >> >> Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> >> Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media. >> Buy a copy at http://rtbook.bestpractical.com >> > _______________________________________________ > http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users > > Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media. > Buy a copy at http://rtbook.bestpractical.com > _______________________________________________ > http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users > > Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com > Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media. > Buy a copy at http://rtbook.bestpractical.com > _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
