Heyaz,
I've been working on a webbased vserver administration application and I've been thinking about a way to run certain tasks on the host machine. The tasks involve: stopping/starting the vserver, deploying (in my case using rsync) new vservers and configs. I started on an implementation with a php based daemon, but that would mean I'd have to handle authentication, implement a protocol, calling various sub-applications from the daemon, etc. This gave me a lot of headaches :) At the moment I am monitoring our vserver installations using SNMP and started thinking of the idea of using the SNMP daemon I have already running as a full management daemon. This would simplify a lot from my end, but the end user (people running vserver environments) would have to install snmp on their servers, which, I can imagine, causes security risks not everyone is willing to take. To make a long story short, I am wondering if someone else considers using SNMP is a worthwile approach, or perhaps people have different ideas ? Regards, Dennis Roos Network Engineer InTouch N.V.
