This sounds interesting.

One thing that would interest me is the ability to actually run the
commands on another machine.  I have not looked at this yet but I would
imagine that if my /video? partitions are nfs mounted on both machines,
I should be able to make shell scripts for each of the commands that
does "ssh othermachine $*" should be able to do this.  What do people
think about this.
