I have to agree with ravi, lith & Matt. If you use node 24x7 for other things, then I guess it would make sense to use it for a few sysadmin scripts on the side, but it's not really the best fit.
Personally I've written a few sysadmin scripts in Python as well as Node and found Python to be better suited for the task -- Perl may be even better, but I haven't used it myself. If you're looking for a language that combines the convenience of synchronous programming with the performance of async, you might look at Go (goroutines use epoll/kqueue for IO operations so you get the same c10k performance as node). -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
