Welcome to Vines Services
Vines Services are dynamically updated groups of systems based on criteria like hostname, installed software, operating system, etc. Send a command to the service and it runs on every system in the group. Services, files and permissions are managed via the bundled web application.
Services are defined using VinesQL, a simple query language that finds systems based on their machine attributes. A "Mac OS X Lion" service might be defined as: platform is 'mac_os_x' and platform_version starts with '10.7'. As machines update to Lion, they will join this service automatically and may be managed as one group.
Additional documentation can be found at www.getvines.org.
