Re: [staf-users] Quetstions about STAF capabiltiies

I'm not sure what you mean.  STAF provides a PROCESS service that con be 
used to run a process  on the specified machine.  The process that is run 
can be most any executable.  STAF itself does not provide any services 
that manage an image.

In regards to your second question, I'm not sure what you mean.  An API to 
control STAF in what way or for gathering what information?   STAF 
provides a SHUTDOWN service to shutdown STAF.  STAF provides the ability 
to return information about how STAF is configured.  Most STAF service 
provide the ability to list or query the things that the service manages. 
The STAF PROCESS service can be used to run most any command, so it can 
run commands that gather various information.

Hi,

- Can STAF be used to manage an image of some sort (not yet applied to any 
running host), for example, a chroot filesystem, an LXC container, 
other... ?

- Does STAF have an API for controlling STAF or for gathering information? 
If so, what kind of API and what can it do? 

Thanks
