Func: Python Systems Management

Func: Fedora Unified Network Controller looks pretty interesting.


A lot of programs, systems, and tools need some way to communicate. Func provides a two-way authenticated system for generically doing these sort of things. You can build your own applications on top of it, and easily expand func by adding in additional modules, whether you want these to work through the func command line or by means of some other application. If you just want to use the func command line, that's great. If you want to build apps on the func tools, that's great too. If this sounds generically vague, it's only because it really is that expandable.


With some examples


# func target.example.org call hardware info
# func "*.example.org" call yumcmd update
# func "*" call moduleyouwrote functionname 1234 5678 firetruck acmelabs hike!
