Killer Rebol APP

 [1/5] from: robert:muench:robertmuench at: 6-Aug-2003 12:39


Hi, just want to raise this topic again ;-). Anybody know about webmin ? It's an open-source project that has the goal to provide a system administration GUI for Linux systems that can be used via a web-browser. Very nice. IMO such a cockpit tool for managing operation systems might be a realy nice Rebol app. Richer GUI, faster, plug-in support, easier to install, use etc. Webmin is based on Perl, and takes quite a lot of ressoucres. What do you think? Robert

Hi Robert, there are several of such apps. I will use WebMin in the future on my new server. Another such app is control centre for mySQL database - but it is already nice enough, I don't know if reinventing the wheel helps. What about better IOS instead? :-) I can find IOS killer app, maybe a free equivalent or some good business model etc? -pekr-

A rebol implementation of WBEM would be what it should be. Then the idea would be to build integration between WBEM suppliers on different platforms, i.e. WMI on Windows http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/w98ddk/ hh/w98ddk/wmi_wp_6g19.asp WMI is incredibly important to the future of system administration on Windows.

Considering Rebol's strengths in http maybe something like this is the killer app: http://www.nutch.org/docs/index.html An open source search engine. Consider that a google box retails for $10,000 Worth it for sure.
