[ Thanks to Robert Osterlund for
this announcement: ]
PIKT, Problem Informant/Killer Tool, version 1.10.0 has been
released.
Highlights of this release: Rewrote much of the script processing
code in a more modular, readable, and maintainable fashion. Redid
the array implementation, introducing AWK-style associative arrays,
also multi- dimensional numerically indexed arrays. Added the
#indent-#unindent preprocessor directives, for automatic
indentation of PIKT configurations. Revised the value history
mechanism, fixing a serious scalability problem. Fixed several
small bugs and made other code improvements.
PIKT, an innovative new paradigm for administering heterogeneous
networked workstations, is a multi-functional tool for monitoring
systems, reporting and fixing problems, and managing system
configurations. PIKT is quickly gathering potential as a serious
security management system. PIKT comprises an embedded scripting
language with unique, labor-saving features; a sophisticated script
(and system config file) preprocessor, scheduler, and installer;
and other useful tools. PIKT is a category buster with many, many
different uses limited only by your ingenuity and imagination.
PIKT is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
Available now for GNU/Linux, AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, OpenBSD,
Solaris, and SunOS. For more info, and complete source code,
