I'll probably need something a bit more sophisticated than a bash script. I like the idea of being able to say "add line x to file y if line x doesn't yet exist".

This works swimmingly for me, but then I do love bash and I wrote quite a bit to install nrpe, configure the environment by checking /etc/services etc and push the config over. If you are a wizz in Bash then this is excellent. I can redeploy all configurations to all servers with just one command. There is also cfengine, but I didn't bother with this. Even if you're not a Bash wizz, then just a few lines to scp and possibly restart daemon (although I use xinetd to limit the source of the request to the nagios server for extra protection so I don't even have to do that). -h -- Hari Sekhon CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
