PIKT

*	An acronym: Problem Informant/Killer Tool. (PIKT rhymes with
	"ticket".) 
*	An innovative new paradigm for administering heterogeneous
	networked workstations. 
*	A systems monitor that both reports and, wherever possible, fixes
	problems. 
*	A systems configuration and security manager. 
*	A cross-categorical toolkit with uses limited only by your imagination. 
*	An embedded scripting language and accompanying script interpreter. 
*	A sophisticated script and system configuration file preprocessor
	for use with the Pikt scripting language or any other scripting 
	language of your choice. 
*	A cross-platform, centrally run script scheduler (like cron),
	customizing installer (like rdist), command shell enhancement, and 
	total script and configuration file management facility. 
*	Distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). 
*	Available now for GNU/Linux, AIX, Digital UNIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX,
	IRIX, OpenBSD, SCO OpenServer, Solaris, and SunOS. 

What Is PIKT Not?

*	A GUI-enhanced system.  This is in the works, but as an option only. 
*	An all-purpose programming language.  Pikt is tailored to system
	administration, designed to work hand-in-handwith other languages,
	not to replace them. 
*	Available for Mac OS X and other Unix variants.. (These will come
	eventually.) 
*	Available for Windows NT. (Perhaps some day.) 
*	The last word in systems monitors. (But maybe it's farther back in
	the dictionary.)
