I pushed my agent “<a href="https://github.com/rottenbytes/mcollective/blob/master/plugins/agents/smith.rb">smith</a>” on <a href="https://github.com/rottenbytes">my github account</a>. It allows you to install or remove agents within mcollective. I usually use my configuration management tool to deploy such pieces of software but it can be useful in some case to go without it.</p>
