Hi Greg,
We use it to manage a couple of hundred UNIX machines, from desktop
Linux workstations to 32-processor SGI's to 48-processor 12-node AIX beasts to
nodes on compute grid/clusters to SUN Workstations to Email servers
to..... :-)
It's made my job go from being a waking hell of firefighting and mangled
local configurations & spaghetti scripts to being a quite enjoyable job :-) Now
if I could just put the users under cfengine's control too...... ;-)
Billy.
