CTL is a cross-platform control dispatching tool
that makes it easy to automate any kind of
distributed systems management or application
provisioning task. Rather than writing complex and
error-prone scripts that over utilize "for loops",
CTL handles the network dispatching for you and
allows you to focus on the actual management tasks
you need to accomplish. In addition to being a
dispatching tool, CTL comes with pre-built
cross-platform utilities so you don't have to
script actions like file distribution or process
and port checking. You can also write your own
custom utilities and share them with others in
your organization. Custom utilities are defined in
XML, and your scripting can be done in multiple
scripting languages (Perl, Python, etc.), *nix
shell, Windows batch, and/or Ant.
