Prodog: System Administration in Prolog
We believe in Mark Burgess' dream of Computer Immunology
in which network servers become self-repairing and correcting by use
of rule-based self-examination. Born of a need to define more complex
operating policies than those supported by CFEngine, the Prolog
System Administration Project attempts to redefine the limits of
configuration management and dynamic monitoring by providing a
scripting language that:
- allows incremental, convergent manipulation of static machine
configuration.
- allows crafting of monitoring scripts that monitor and correct
machine behavior on an ongoing basis.
Project Status
Currently, the project is in a prototype stage, implemented only
for Solaris 7.
