We use a tcp client-server app written in Ruby to monitor applications and
hosts on dozens of remote machines. Most of the ruby modules I’ve written
were with this app in mind. Here are some websites containing modules
(though no applications) I’ve written that might interest you:
http://ruby-sysutils.sf.net
http://ruby-netutils.sf.net
http://ruby-miscutils.sf.net
Also, see http://users.rcn.com/mghall/ruby/ruby.html for some useful modules
written by Mike Hall.

Subject: Ruby in Systems AdministrationI was just wondering if anyone had some really cool uses for
Ruby in Systems
Administration. Some examples of what I would consider to be
really cool is
stuff like using drb or webrick to poll system status, gather
inventory
information, etc. Useful ways to interact with multiple
systems. Ways to
push system changes out to hundreds of servers. Etc, etc…
I know there’s
some stuff on the wiki (
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RealWorldRuby ) > as
well.
