hi there,

I'm working as sysadmin at the moment (not as programmer :"( ) .. and what I see I'm doing from a long time is that instead of making a OO oriented tools for doing my work I mostly do a small and quick scripts to do this and that (which is not bad of course)...
I look now and see many small ones... at the start of my work i started common framework but after a while i got in situation that I can't cope with supporting this effort, 'cause more thinking is needed before u start changing OO stuff, rather than just write some lines of code...
Now I know for most of the handy sysadmin tasks small simple tools are better..
But !! I was thinking may be if there is some way to do both things simultaneously it would be much much better ...
So I'm asking here for your ideas !
How to combine writing small simple scripts and in the same way be able to call these tools with smallest possible overhead as object/methods of some bigger OO framework that can have a decent API and so on... u know code reuse..:")
The main problems as I see them are :

1. Scripts can be on different machines
2. Syncronizing the framework between machines i.e. /lib /scripts /etc ..directories consistent is harder
3. Isolation of the classes/methods of each other can be a tricky thing. Changing of a script, module must preserve the whole system working, but just this small portion u are working in flux
4. Keep call/fork overhead small

Preserve easy adhoc programming with the GRAND DESIGN(tm) :")
How u DO this ?
