What software are you missing?

There's one thing I wish someone would develop.

I call it the Universal Admin. You'd just activate the needed UA modules for all of the scripts you run on all your sites. UA would reconfigure itself based on what modules were activated and then you could use the Universal Admin screens to manage your entire network without having to ever log into any other admin again.

On a typical day I may log into WordPress, Blogs Automator, TGPX, TubeX, LinkX, DragonList, OpenX, DadaMail, Joomla, LinksOrganizer, plus some custom scripts. With some of those there are multiple installations and logins on a variety of domains too.

It sure would be nice to log in just once a day instead of dozens of times.

Yes, I know it's just a dream.




P.S. I do use software which remembers my login details so I don't have to do much besides click the login link if I've logged out (and I usually stay logged in from day to day), but the idea of a Universal Admin is still very appealing.

Actually that's not so much of a pipe dream as you may think.
A UA is something I want and it is possible to write such a script, it's just a little technical to fully configure.

If I ever get a spare few months I would write one but like everything in life, it has to take a back seat in favor of other more pressing work.

The idea sounds awesome but I think that there is a major flaw: security issue. I wouldn't want to imagine what would happen when someone finds out that 1) you have such a script, 2) hacks into it and 3) screws all your sites up.

That is kinda of a dream. One thing I did a long time ago was to have just a little password protected area on a domain of mine that I just have a small html file with links to all my admins. Kinda like a bookmark file that i can get to no matter what computer I'm on. Just nice to be able to click something and get to what I need to.

Plus with blogs it makes it easy for updating. I just command click on all the blog urls for the admin. Then update and close the windows... repeat until done.
