  Description     : application framework for configuring, managing and monitoring hard- and software

>From SGI's Website:

Rhino is an infrastructure for building applications that configure, manage, 
and monitor hardware and software. Rhino provides a common, consistent, 
task-based, internationalized  graphical user interface (GUI), with built-in 
command-line interfaces (CLIs) that system administrators can use to write 
scripts. Rhino applications consist of two parts:

    * Client-side GUI in Java. The GUI runs on any platform that has a 
      Java virtual machine, and it doesn't run as root or do setuid root. 
      It can enable the user to perform a single task; it can provide an 
      organized collection of tasks (with a built-in search mechanism); 
      and it can include GUIs for monitoring the system.
    * Server-side daemon and command-line interfaces. These can be written 
      in C++ so Java doesn't have to run on the server being administered.

I need it especially for SGI's Linux Failsafe.
