Radmind is a suite of Unix command-line tools and an application server designed to remotely administer the file systems of multiple client machines.[1][2]
For Mac OS X, there is a graphical user interface called Radmind Assistant, as well as a GUI for the Radmind server called Radmind Server Manager.[3]
Radmind was the 2003 Apple Design Awards runner-up for Best Mac OS X Server Solution.[4]
Radmind is developed by the Research Systems Unix Group at the University of Michigan.[citation needed]
Radmind operates as a tripwire, detecting changes in a client's filesystem (and, in the case of Microsoft Windows, the registry) and reversing the changes.[5][6][7] Radmind stores filesystem specifications in text files called transcripts, signified with a .T extension. Transcripts are referenced from command files, signified with a .K extension, which specify which transcripts (and with what precedence) should be applied to a client machine's filesystem.
