Virtual Administrator Daemon
VAdmind (Virtual Administrator Daemon) is set of Perl scripts and modules which can help with remote server management. It uses XML input/otput, and can be run by (x)inetd. It can receive multiple commands to execute, and it has been built to provide support for a scalable system administration environment. Since it takes XML, clients can be developed in a different set of environments with easy integration into the server.

Currently, the VAdmind project was changed from a private enviroment with a very specific set of functions to execute in the server. I removed all those specific functions in order to publish it GPL. Thats why there are not plugins in the current version. Short plans are to take the existing useful code in some webmin modules and build the proper modules for VAdmind.
As you will note, writting modules for VAdmind is easy as cake.
