First and foremost Ambit is meant to be a general +purpose hostlist enumerator to be used by other applications or scripts. +Additionally Ambit can be used to manage User Specific as well as +System-Wide HostGroups. It can also be used to query Network HostGroups. +Finally, Ambit is able to detect when it is expanding a command (rather than +a host list), allowing for the command to be expanded and executed +synchronously. This means Ambit can expand and run just about anything on +the command line and usually works in places where Bash Brace Expansion +might fail. + +WWW: http://m.a.tt/er/ambit/ |
