Frequently Asked Questions about admin-unix

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage packages and services across macOS and Linux from a single tool?

This Skill automates package management (Homebrew on macOS, apt on Linux) and service orchestration (systemd on Linux, Homebrew services on macOS) using profile-driven commands. Load a device profile to apply consistent workflows across platforms.

Can I use profile-based configuration for Unix administration tasks?

Yes. This Skill loads profiles from ~/.admin/profiles/{hostname}.json, applying platform-specific settings automatically. Profiles drive package management, service configuration, and SSH access across your infrastructure.

How do I set up centralized logging for macOS and Linux administration?

This Skill integrates centralized logging into Unix administration workflows on both macOS and Linux. Logs capture package operations, service changes, and SSH access in a unified stream for audit and troubleshooting.

What's the best way to manage systemd services and Homebrew services in one workflow?

This Skill detects your platform (Darwin for macOS, Linux with WSL exclusion) and routes service management to the appropriate backend—systemd for Linux, Homebrew services for macOS—keeping administration portable and consistent.

Do I need to write separate scripts for macOS Homebrew and Linux apt management?

No. This Skill abstracts platform differences through profile-driven commands, handling Homebrew on macOS and apt on Linux automatically. One profile definition works across both platforms.

Can I use SSH access and file operations integrated with my admin tooling?

Yes. This Skill includes SSH access and file operations as part of its admin workflow, integrated with profile loading and centralized logging for seamless cross-device administration.
