following up the previous post, i have a working agent uploaded. so far, it doesn’t do too much.

i also sort of take back the gripe about agent documentation. i see now there’s some facility for including usage statements, though i’ve only seen them in application files, not agents. need to check the docs again…

next up is getting a handle on input and output syntax and doing more interesting things. i intend to gear the macutil agent toward common os x specific tasks one might want to perform, but as i’m running through a pile of utility scripts, it’s pretty obvious that so much of these one-off shell/ruby/python/whatever scripts are reactionary. there are many places where proper configuration management tools and processes are a more appropriate fit.
