I’d be glad in beta testing and waiting to have a look at earliest.

I ran across your site looking around for linux admin stuff. I just wrote a new tool that I want to release under a GPL license. However, I would like to know that someone in the world besides me finds it useful before I bother.

I’m looking for anyone interested in beta testing it.

On one hand I consider this a server monitoring tool, but really it’s a very generic and automated diff tool.

Basically, what it does is run a program (or programs) you specify and capture the ouput. It remembers the first time you run it as a baseline and subsequently, compares the current output to the baseline. If there’s a change it outputs a readable diff.

It’s more advanced than this, but simply this is what it does.

So, for instance, you can watch a server remotely using “nmap someserver.com | grep open”. If the open ports ever change, you’ll get notified… assuming you run it from crontab.

If you have any interest in beta testing this, please let me know.
