</span>Thanks, that helps. We'll be moving to Satellite 6 at some point here, but we're not there yet. Hopefully the access controls are better, but (that aside) the API stays this easy to use.<br>
<br>
Seriously - it's basically two lines in perl or ruby - call auth.login to get a session key, and call system.getId to get a list of hosts. It can't get much easier. Despite the scary sounding name XMLRPC, the rest of the API looks basically just as easy.<br>
