Hi all,

As the title says I'm writing a book for sysadmins that want to use Ruby. Any interest in that sort of thing? What would you like to see in it? What problems would you want solved? http://ruby.elevatedintel.com for more info.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward. Please cover chef and puppet, rake/sake, common patterns for shell scripts.

Automating ssh, run a remote instance on the cloud preferably with amazon ec2

automatic development setup on local development machine via vagrant , chef/puppet will be nice.
Automation will be a focus. Thanks again for all the feedback. Let me know if you have anymore.
Sockets, log parsing, text file manipulation, processes, etc.
