OpenMGI
(Open ManaGement Interface)
is an advanced management suite for multi-user Unix servers / clusters.
The privilege-separated, modular mgid daemon allows users to
perform specific administrative tasks from a number of different
interfaces.
OpenMGI was originally designed for our
Csoft.net
hosting service.
OpenMGI has been in development since 1999 and is being used on large
redundant server arrays.
The software is stable and well-maintained thanks to constant feedback
from users.
The official client library is
libopenmgi,
which is lightweight and provides a simple C/C++ interface.
Bindings to Perl and Python are currently in development.
There is a command-line client,
openmgi(1).
Implemented in C, it provides command-line completion, an interactive
mode and a non-interactive mode suitable for scripts.
There is also a themeable and multi-lingual web interface.
It is implemented in C, optimized for FastCGI and requires the
PerCGI
library.
A GUI client for remote workstations and portable devices (built using
the Agar library) is
currently under development.
