by PIKT, Problem Informant/Killer Tool, version 1.3.0
HIGHLIGHTS: a new FreeBSD port; a new autoconf/automake
implementation (setups are now as easy as 'configure', 'make',
'make check', 'make install'); a new preprocessor directive
family--#ifdef, #ifndef, #def(ine), #undef(ine), etc.; a basic
configuration "starter set" via 'piktc -iv +D generic'; bug
fixes; eliminated many hard-coded, preset limits and parameters
PIKT is an innovative new paradigm for administering heterogeneous networked
workstations. PIKT monitors systems, reports problems, and fixes those
problems automatically whenever possible.
PIKT uses an embedded scripting language that sports an especially clean
syntax and introduces unique features to make your programming easier.
PIKT is also a sophisticated script preprocessor and control mechanism for
managing all of your administrative scripts. You can, setting aside the PIKT
language, even use it to version control, install, error log, and schedule
programs written in other languages, as well as to employ macros, meta-
comments, and C-like #if, #ifdef, and #include directives in Perl, AWK, etc.
PIKT is distributed under the GNU General Public License. Available now
for Solaris, SunOS, GNU/Linux, and now also FreeBSD. For more info, and
complete source code, documentation, and data files (all 40,000+ lines of
it), please visit the PIKT Web site at:
