Makes sense. Was thinking the same... Just doing this for learning actually. I think it makes sense tho to do it in Python, Ruby or something else, if you want to steamline it in some way with structure/architecture. I would like to see the bash version tho :-)
Hehe the shell scripts are executed one by one chronologically, but the request to the servers are asynchronously. Does not work so good yet tho... need to fix it :-)
EDIT: With that said... could be awesome we contributions.
I have created my second Python script, and would appreciate comments, contributions or just someone to discuss it with, as i am sure it can be optimized in many ways, as it is a part of my learning. The script is for configuring UNIX/Linux machines with shell scripts with Python - So pretty much a Python way of Fucking shell scripts.
I also believe that exec() is not dangerous if you use it right, and if your www-data/apache-user do not got any sudo rights to risk someone to take advantage of your machine. This have been proved from various sources, if i know right. I understand it can be a security hole if you let the user write anything, but this is eg. not the case with Linux-dash.
I think it is amazing with all the great suggestions everyone here support this post with. Much appreciated - thank you :-) I will add them to the post later, as a list with an URL to their website.
All the suggestions here is amazing. I will take a look at this later. At least make an edit with a list of the suggested software. Did not see this coming :-) Thank you everyone.
Yes New Relic is pretty awesome. Lot of information you can monitor there, with a very easy installation. You can get a free account in there aswell, just to test it. I just made one, and i really like the simple UI: http://i.imgur.com/oGGfTrp.png
Yes, most people know of them :-) I just felt like presenting them to people who might not know of them and their strengths. Why not present tools, although many know of them already? I think it is important to talk freely about any software, as there is always someone who might not know them. I appreciate this myself, and i am actually also new with *nix systems. If everyone had the same approach to information as you, i would not be a part of it.
