PIKT is an innovative new paradigm for administering heterogeneous networked
workstations, is a multi-functional tool for monitoring systems, reporting
and fixing problems, and managing system configurations.
PIKT is quickly
gathering potential as a serious security management system. PIKT comprises
an embedded scripting language with unique, labor-saving features; a
sophisticated script (and system config file) preprocessor, scheduler, and
installer; and other useful tools. PIKT is a category buster with many, many
different uses limited only by your ingenuity and imagination.
HIGHLIGHTS: Ported to OpenBSD. Implemented macro arguments. Added
a new alert timing parameter, "drift", for random scheduling around a
central time (or times). Speeded up piktc preprocessing. Made
adjustments to accommodate "standard library" config files written to
support all operating systems. Fixed a bug where, for some piktc
operations, duplicate file names with different file paths were not
being handled properly. Fixed a bug where, for FreeBSD, fork()'ed
piktds would hang on _exit(). Fixed a script parser bug. Made many
other code improvements.
