Subject: Re: Ruby in Systems Administration

Take a look at:
http://www.20six.co.uk/rbermejo

It need some improvements, but at the moment it has been very useful  to
take control of 800 machines.
    *ix    -> net/telnet, sockets 
      win -> drb

If somebody is interested on it, I will put it in raa/rubyforge.
