cfengine or puppet (or something else - slackmaster?) are where I want
to be eventually - but in the immediate term something like this would
help a lot. e.g bouncing my 4 front-end apache servers on 4
different boxes. That sort of thing.
I was actually going to start another "configuration management redux"
thread as a follow up to a thread I started a few months ago.
