Announcing project "RunDeck"
Hello fellow ControlTier users,
In addition to working on ControlTier, I'm working on a new open source project along with a couple ControlTier developers called "RunDeck". The goal of this project is a client-less, easy to install and use command and control server. It's really a spin off or a promotion of some of ControlTier's most popular features: Jobs and ad-hoc command execution.
RunDeck shares many ControlTier ideas and its code base was seeded from ControlTier 3.6. Combine CTL Center, supporting shell tools (ctl-exec, ctl-queue, ctl-run, ctl-jobs), document formats like job.xml and a subset of resources.xml, and you can probably envision the RunDeck footprint. The user interface design should also be quite familiar to CTL Center users with some improvements, as well.
