HI Simon,


Thanks for the write-up . One question:


>> The ability to get machine parsable output from OS components is a =
big part of the success of Junos CLI, netconf etc.

Once you get machine parsable  output, and feed it to your GUIs , WEB, =
other tools, and modify it, how do you feed it back
to your underlying OS ?=20
