Tool of the Day: Webmin
Webmin is a web-based system configuration tool for Unix-like
systems, although recent versions can also be installed and
run on Windows. With it, it is possible to configure operating
system internals, such as users, disk quotas, services or
configuration files, as well as modify and control open source apps,
such as the Apache HTTP Server, PHP orMySQL.
I used Webmin to adminsiter machines in my web farm in the 90s. This
is a good admin tool especially in webfarms. You can one machine as a
master and all others as slaves running webmin and configure all
machines by logging into just this master. A whole lot of plugins also
exist for Webmin for different packages apart from the ability to
write custom modules. Webmin also has heartbeat and service monitoring
across machines with logs and alerts on exceptions/error conditions.
