Yep. We should most definitely ship snippets of these (contributions welcome! send them along and we'll take them!) like we've done for Func integration. (Puppet and cfengine also seem logical, don't they?) To save me the trouble (though I'm long overdue for looking at the latest in many of these), if those systems put out nice links such as "/system/hostname" or "search?hostname=foo" can you tell me what these URLs are for ones you might use? (If they key off something /other/ than the hostname and or system name, things may be harder to do.) The search stuff can probably be done, but I'd rather avoid it at first if possible. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
