Hey Stephen,

It is true that smitty is another tool that Linux is lacking and Linuxconf (or YaST or webmin) are very poor substitutes (and way too complex).

I have thought about writing a modular smitty-alike framework to hook scripts and procedures into. We definitely need something like that so people can easily contribute and improve this system.

At some point I am sure someone will do it. I will keep it in mind for when I become incredibly wealthy and need a good cause (other than food) for my money :)

PS I was planning to write a blog article wrt. smitty.
