Linux configuration with OpenLMI

Cosmopolitan

Conclusion

OpenLMI provides an interface for performing a variety of standard tasks on Linux systems. The syntax of the individual command-line tools does not need to be known for this because it is abstracted by the OpenLMI scripts. This simplifies the system administration especially for newcomers.

The LMIShell is a powerful tool that supports programming for complex tasks to suit your own requirements. Ready-made scripts already exist for many tasks, and these can be easily used as a jumping-off point for developing your own scripts.
