Hi,

I tend to write server-side scripts whenever possible. It prevents
people from slightly changing scripts without notice. It sometimes is
handy to have both server-side and client-side (reporting the exact same
information). For instance, I can monitor most database server remotely,
but some customers don't like the idea of remote access. So the script
runs locally (and gets its config from the hobbit server).

Regards,
