Subject: scriptroute


Just came across YARBA (Yet Another Ruby-Based Application), which
doesn't seem to have been mentioned on ruby-talk:

http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/networking/scriptroute/

The web site says:

> Scriptroute is a flexible network measurement and debugging system.
> Measurements are expressed as scripts that run as an ordinary user,
> and a priviledged daemon schedules and manages the packet exchange.
> The goal is to allow any user to connect to any server and execute
> any safe network measurement.

The scriptwriting.pdf document says they chose ruby because it is 
"easily embedded, easily sandboxed, and easy to use".
