Querying remote machines #13

Open anantharaman93 opened 5 years ago

anantharaman93 commented 5 years ago

Hi, If you are planning to implement handlings which might require an elevated privilege using machines credentials, you can also check whether querying remote machine is viable. I know this is out of scope for oshi, but adding this feature might be a booster for oshi. Thanks.

This could probably be done with RMI, but it would still be pretty complicated and I think it's too far out of scope. This kind of feature sounds like a great third-party project, though. It should be completely feasible given the api is well designed.
