We are currently planning on building a UNIX-based expert system to
handle ``system administration'' on a computer system.  My plan is to
build a knowledge base containing facts about the computer system, as
well as descriptions of possible actions and their consequences.  The
expert system would be presented with a description of the current world,
and a goal.  The planner (``inference engine'') will determine what
actions are needed to get from the current world to a goal state.

Due to time constraints, we are trying to find a planner that can
accomplish the task described above.  If anyone knows of such a planner
(or a system containing one), please contact me.  We need source,
preferably for a UNIX system.  Anything close will do.  We would
consider any purchase agreement and gladly accept freebies.

Quick responses would be appreciated.  (Also, any ``Have you
checked...?'' would be great.)

Any responses of general interest will be posted.

thanks,
