Distributed network command interface - Summary

This group is not part of the GNU Project.

Problem Definition:-
An open and distributed command-line interface for accessing many UNIX, NT, and Linux machines in parallel using UNIX like commands with network capability. The product offers distributed, cross-platform access to crucial systems across the enterprise using a familiar command-line interface. With this, Machines can access thousands of remote UNIX, NT and Linux servers. This changes the paradigm of physically logging onto machines, one machine at a time to manage. This significantly improves labor productivity and system availability.
Objectives:-                
1. Implementing UNIX like Commands and Utilities (as in UNIX manual 1 AT & T Bell Labs) with network capability for heterogeneous platforms.

2. Command sets implemented as Shared Library not executables.

3. Providing Common code base across all platforms

4. Shell –a distributed network shell is provided.

5. Remote execution.

6. Tunneling
