Maint is a system maintenance script wrapper package written in Python and CSH to handle common tasks, such as updating ports and source trees, building the OS, readmes, cleaning ports and source trees, and other common tasks. Maint is very modular and easy to extend and/or add new functions to. Maint also includes a batch facility to allow creating batch files for the most often done or special sequences of commands - and is cronable. A fully automatic system build facility is in the works, which will include building the OS and kernel, as well as software from the ports collection. This will make duplicating or restoring a system setup extremely easy. WWW: http://www.dynaplex.net/opensource/software/ - Dale Weber
