[CLUE-Tech] Not very refreshing...

[Robert Woods]

I have used xShell and xManager now for over a year and like them both very 
much.
At $168 for the pair, I feel you get your moneys worth. With the added 
bonus of working out of the box.
The configuration was painless. Not so for Hummingbird. I had xManager 
operational in minutes.
see

for details.
PS
The added benefit of using smit is the log and script record kept on every 
change to a system.
