alright, got a new versoin of snafu for ppl to try out.
v0.2 is currently in a working alpha stage.  while
the goal of the program is still the same, to aid in
the setup/troubleshooting/monitoring of linux
systems (hopefully *nix soon), it works a bit
different now.

Instead of the user just picking selections from a menu,
they build the menus themselves. The idea being,
an admin knows what files need to be edited, watched,
run, etc., while working on a particular job (sendmail,
DNS, managing users, etc.) so snafu lets them put
all the command lines they use to perform that task
in a single menu.

Features currently working:
-  menu mangement and backups
   for the main menu and user created menus
-  live log (file) and command output
   monitoring (via /usr/bin/watch)
-  log (file) viewing (using more or less)

Under development for stable v0.2
- add any command line to user menus
- a command developer sub-shell, the last
  command run before the sub-shell exits
  is put into the menu.
- log (file) and filesystem searches
- snitches:  a script run in
   the background that watches a log
   for a pattern.  If the pattern occurs,
   the admin is emailed, or whatever.
- grep and awk filters for watches
  and log views.
- some kinda script config so the number
  of lines to watch, or the refreshrate can
  be changed from the menus.
- a feature to allow ppl to email the
   menus they've created.

If your interested in testing it, goto:

or click on this link to d/l directly from
this post:

(i'll be updating this file as i get things working)

Any comments, responses and so on can be posted here
on this thread or emailed to me.

Thanks,
Uncle
