If you want to try out how yadt works, please check out our how to and the project page.

the Yadt concept

The yadtshell(server part) controls hosts with a yadt-minion(client part) via passwordless ssh with a minimal configuration, it handles service dependencies and package updates.

Atarget is a set of hosts which belong together [wiki]
Aservice in yadt is the representation of a service on a host with a LSB compatible init script
Aservice dependency is the dependency between two services and its not limited to a service on the same host. (e.g httpd -> loadbalancer) [wiki]
