Configuration management using Expect (TCL/TK).

摘要

There are a wide variety of software packages to handle large scale configuration management. Besides the requirement of licensing, one common downside among them is that one has to alter the present working environment to make room for this new tool, which could be considered an overkill for performing administrative tasks.;The purpose of this thesis is to propose an inexpensive and efficient solution using simpler tools to manage system configurations on large scale servers. The tools provide means to perform administrative tasks involving environment setup, middleware installation, data collection, and transaction logging.
