General
This section contains various papers written and/or maintained by
members of The WebJob Project. The default format of these papers
will be PDF. To view these papers, we recommend Adobe
Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher. Where possible, each paper will
be available in two formats: classic and on-screen. If you intend
to print the document, you should download the classic format. If
you just want to read it at your terminal, you should download the
on-screen format.
Note: No matter which format you select, we have found that
the best viewing results are obtained when you download the document
and view it outside your Web browser. To download these documents
without having them automatically displayed in your Web browser,
try using a right click on the link followed by "Save {Target|Link}
As..." or whatever option your browser provides to save the document
directly to disk.
Note: The on-screen documents have been known to lock up or
become sluggish when viewed by Acrobat Reader from within a Web
browser. This behavior has been confirmed on Windows NT/2K systems
for both Netscape and Internet Explorer. Upgrading to Acrobat Reader
5.0 or higher seems to eliminate this problem.

WebJob is, discuss its benefits, and provide some examples of how it

Snort Management System: Managing Multiple Snort Instances on Many Systems
The snort management system enables engineers to efficiently manage
and deploy small and/or large production snort environments. This
system employs the open-source WebJob framework and several other
open-source technologies including: oinkmaster, rsync, snort, and ssh.
The system is designed to minimize the workload involved in managing
the snort rules and related snort configuration files, while
maintaining a high degree of security and robustness. A secondary
goal of this system is to advance the open-source methodology for
managing a large number of snort instances in an enterprise
environment. This article describes how the system functions, and it
further discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the solution.
