Thanks! That's exactly what I needed. Puppet or Chef are in my radar, but more for configuration management, and less for day-to-day operations like start and stop, and deployment. I have had a look at the basics of both these solutions. They seem like wonderfuil tools for provisioning, but they don't seem all that easy to use for automated deployment to me. Maybe I'm wrong about this, I have no experience with these kind of tools. If you use them I'd love to read your opinion.
