I’m a newbie in ruby I’m wondering if there are a way to build a little  
application like webmin with ruby on rails.  
For example I want to modify the bgpd configuration file on a linux box  
or start and stop the bgp demon.  
Who does write the configuration file? a ruby “function” or the  
underlying database application if needed.  
Who does start and stop the demon calling the service command (service  
bgpd start)?

Thanks in advance, bye bye
