[jlsync]

perl, templates, and rsync - here is my earlier solution for server configuration management & installation tool: http://www.jlsync.com/ and https://github.com/jlsync/jlsync

And there is a bonus version in ruby: https://github.com/jlsync/jlsync/blob/master/jlsync.rb

Looks interesting.

80% of server automation can be solved by "copy master file and restart the service that uses it". I don't see anything obvious about restarting services in jlsync, but the copying seems well thought out.
