Final Project - Examples





Automation
 Kick-start install
 Package management/update
Scripting
 Web front-end of user account management
Network
 Web cache performance enhancement using multiple network
interfaces
Security
 How to setup a secure network?
Misc

Final Project - More Examples

System Automation


Scripting



If any server is down, can you setup an identical server
within a few minutes?
Web front-end for email filter or SPAM filter setup
Improved lockdown script
System Health Monitor System


Uses crontab or an agent to collect statistics of your
system, such as uptime, load, # of processes, tx/rx bytes ..
Implement a web frond-end to display those info
Final Project - More Examples

Visualization


Instead of displaying number, display graph instead
Graph the topology of a given network

Fault Tolerant System

Hot-standby and fail-over if primary system fails
Load balance
