Abstract
The Script MIB extensibility protocol (SMX) defined in this memo
separates language specific runtime systems from language independent
Script MIB implementations. The IETF Script MIB defines an interface
for the delegation of management functions based on the Internet
management framework. A management script is a set of instructions
that are executed by a language specific runtime system.
