hmm. . . all sort of interesting. getting ouput of 'ps' sounds more like the direction of stuff i'd want to do.

i was trying to avoid writing both the client and the server. but that would direction would probably give me the most mileage, esp. since I have a feeling things like IO::Socket would also be of use. . .

and i have two boxes running here at home, so I can actually perform 'real' remote connections. i didn't even think of this one: i can build a simple wrapper for 'rcp' commands - just copy them from my workstation to my webserver/firewall box. i could 'automate' pushing files to my webserver.

and i'm not enough of a nerd. i don't have any MP3s, so i couldn't build an MP3 server. :)
