From: "ritchie@..." Date: 2005-02-18T01:34:51+09:00 Subject: Re: net::ssh popen3 issue? :) I'm writing an admin system to a remote server, which I'd like to be able to extend easily. Therefore, I can create remote sql queries or any other command on the server trivially, and then massage the data as I need on the client based on return type, table, list etc. I have a yaml spec file outlining the commands,descriptions and params that are available on the server and then have my fxruby client generate appropriate param boxes based on that specification. Further, this is db agnostic,command type agnositc and secure from the get go. So If I add a trivial query on the server I document it in the yaml file and the client is able to use it instantly. Peculiar yet super functional; I'm done screwing around with sql embedded in php or whatnot for site admin. R
