* Package name : func Version : 0.24 Upstream Author : Michael DeHaan <mdeh...@redhat.com>, Adrian Likins <alik...@redhat.com>, Seth Vidal <skvi...@redhat.com> * URL : https://fedorahosted.org/func/ * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: Python Description : Func allows for running commands on remote systems in a secure way Func allows for running commands on remote systems in a secure way, like SSH, but offers several improvements. * Func allows you to manage an arbitrary group of machines all at once. * Func automatically distributes certificates to all "slave" machines. There's almost nothing to configure. * Func comes with a command line for sending remote commands and gathering data. * There are lots of modules already provided for common tasks. * Anyone can write their own modules using the simple Python module API. * Everything that can be done with the command line can be done with the Python client API. The hack potential is unlimited. * You'll never have to use "expect" or other ugly hacks to automate your workflow. * It's really simple under the covers. Func works over XMLRPC and SSL. * Since func uses certmaster, any program can use func certificates, latch on to them, and take advantage of secure master-to-slave communication. * There are no databases or crazy stuff to install and configure. Again, certificate distribution is automatic too. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
