aegir is actually a
Submitted by briansea on Thu, 10/15/2009 - 15:50.aegir is actually a collection of 3-4 other modules. I have set it up for the sites I host - however, documentation is poor and receiving help for weird issues is slow. When working correctly, it can dramatically cut down the time needed to setup a new drupal instance, and make changes to existing ones. However, I have since moved to using some scripts I wrote to handle the major functions (running cron on every site in an install automattically, putting all sites in maintenance mode, updating all sites at once, and creating a new site from a template). Aegir does have its niche, for me it was too much and not streamlined enough.
Now, Using Drush with some scripting can be very powerful; I did not use drush for what I wrote, but will be incorporating soon.
