hostnames OR commands. First and foremost Ambit is meant to be a general purpose hostlist enumerator to be used by other applications or scripts. Additionally Ambit can be used to manage User Specific as well as System-Wide HostGroups. It can also be used to query Network HostGroups. Finally, Ambit is able to detect when it is expanding a command (rather than a host list), allowing for the command to be expanded and executed synchronously. This means Ambit can expand and run just about anything on the command line and usually works in places where Bash Brace Expansion might fail.
