autolink

A perl tool for automating the maintenance of multiple similarly-configured unix machines with local customizations.

autolink is in the same space as cfengine, the Master System, or the ARK project. It is lighter-weight than any of those. Also, autolink can be adopted incrementally: you can bring files under autolink management one file at a time.

Download the latest version of autolink. The file is a single perl script.

Documentation:

• POD documentation included in the script, run through pod2html
• Frequently Asked Questions (coming soon)
• A work-in-progress white paper on autolink presented at the 3rd IEEE Workshop on System Management in 1998, rather out of date now.

autolink@basespace.net is the mailing list for discussion of autolink use and further development
