Is there something like WMI for Linux?

Question

I like the whole WMI concept, and I could really make use of it under Linux (in some scripts). Is there something like that for Linux systems?

Answer 1

I beg to differ, but YES, there is. Get FWTS and run

fwts wmi -

And you will see how is it implemented and what is possible to read/modify.
