Re: I saw this as a consultant
I have a similar story at a previous employer, an auditor required a sequence of commands to be run and a screenshot taken after each one, across several thousand servers. This boring manual process was nevertheless a source of juicy overtime for some. Well it's pretty easy to automate spawning an terminal window and injecting commands and taking a screenshot, then assembling all these screenshots automatically into a PDF, then run it unattended overnight. Made no friends that day but fsck 'em.
