automation question

3 ideas come to mind-
cron and or cruisecontrol for off-hours scriptingant for handling cross-platform scriptingmaven for implementing dependency checking as well as the ability to pull from online repositories
Youtube.comI worked with a company last summer that implemented identical functionality and wanted to firewall youtube videos to use their (considerably more capable as far as supporting every codec on the planet) player..youtube said if you link/use/href any amount of content to our site then you MUST use our player..its no WONDER they have that incredible pageview traffic ..
Is there some specific functionality you want to Automate???Thanks/Martin Gainty______________________________________________Disclaimer and confidentiality noteEverything in this e-mail and any attachments relates to the official business of Sender.

I will take a look at these. I am certainly familiar with cron. The
others not so much.

I have some things in mind, but basically any task that I am performing
across multiple servers I want to automate. While I might have time to
manually do things across 20 servers (not really... but that is the
current state) I won't be able to do so across 100. Make sense?

Martin,

I took a quick look at the tools that you mentioned. Seems you are
heavily involved in Java :)

We don't use Java at all, and other than using cron (which I do use for
backups and standard stuff like that) not really what I am looking for.
After thinking about this, I suspect that this will all just be a custom
scripting with something like dsh for the distributed part. Not really
looking for source code control -- more like things to manage the
distribution of standardized my.cnf files (which we already control
using subversion) to 100 servers at a time. Looking to scale efforts so
I don't have to manually do things.

thanks,

Keith
