If only I knew how to contribute to a blog of some sort. Where should I start without having to learn too much, and where the feedback comments are monitored to remove the ..um.. irrelevant responses? E.g. register, login, type, publish, done! Preferably a site that is focussed on Groovy related entries.

It will be helpful for a monitoring script i need for doing some sysadmin tasks! It would be great if you publish it on a blog! Thanks! Paco.

To do this you will need to use the JACOB interface to COM, that allows Java to interact with com/dcom components. In this case, to access the WMI Scripting feature set. Note: JACOB is installed with Groovy when using the Windows distribution (not the zip or scripted installer versions). This is cribbed from the excellent example already in the Groovy distribution. Now to figure how to do similar for Linux (dmidecode + ?) and on VM platforms! Why? To find some sort of meaningful but ‘unique’ attribute(s) of the server on which the service is running.
