Radmind 1.7 released
The University of Michigan's Research Systems Unix Group has released Radmind 1.7, an update to its suite of Unix command-line tools, a server designed to remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines, and GUI-based application for Mac OS X. The software is able to detect changes to any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. and can optionally reverse the change. According to the company, each managed machine may have its own loadset composed of multiple, layered overloads, allowing the operating system to be described separately from applications. Loadsets, stored on a remote server, can be automatically pushed to managed machines. Version 1.7 offers performance improvements, automated building of universal binaries on Mac OS X, and other improvements and bug fixes. It is available for free under the BSD-style license.
