This is the architecture of the Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM):
an OEM "console" has the ability to send "scripts" for execution
on a "remote agent", that is, an individual monitored server.  A restricted form of Tcl (version
8.0, as of 2001?) is the language of these scripts.

OEM is built with [Oratcl].

Among the technical reasons Oracle might rationally have chosen Tcl
for OEM over, for example, [Perl]:
   * Oratcl's distinguished history;
   * Tcl's record of achievement with [SNMP] applications;
   * Tcl's [event]-orientation;
   * Tcl's tradition of "[agent]" work.
