Take a look at:
http://www.20six.co.uk/rbermejo

It need some improvements, but at the moment it has been very useful to
take control of 800 machines.
*ix → net/telnet, sockets win → drb

If somebody is interested on it, I will put it in raa/rubyforge.

I 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.
