Excellent! Now we are getting somewhere.
I think sometimes I have a tough time getting my point across (aka Boyd Crowder)
On that note, does anyone have any examples/samples of using the AMI/API/ARI to do such tasks?
Using the AMI to write to the config files - I think that is what I need.
Would you be able to cite some examples of how to do that? Then, I'll be able to see what I am up against.

I suspect most of what Glen wants to achieve could be done using RealTime and shared storage. However, AMI could be used to write the config files if realtime wasn't an option.> On Feb 6, 2014 7:14 PM, "Ben Merrills" <b.merrills@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
