Uncle Unc 0.25.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/109519/

Uncle Unc allows network admins and developers to keep track of many services on a network in a flexible extendable fashion from a single client program. The underlying protocol aims to be as generic as possible, and offers a clean usable model for interacting with many services. In Uncle Unc, client implementation is carefully separated from the core protocol, allowing clients to be implemented as GUI apps, Web front-ends, or console programs. Once adapted to Uncle Unc, a service becomes instantly accessible from any Unc-aware client. As new service implementations are developed, every client implementation is able to use them. The ever-expanding list of adapters currently covers filesystems, Java class libraries, relational databases, log-files and jini networks, and a feature-rich, fast desktop GUI client.
