think of better names for these... readfiledeploy("dir/template.whatever") # reads a file from the deploy dir relative to the code we're calling readfilesdeploy("img.png") # same but from the files/ directory maybe...

Here's a whole bunch of other data sources... Looks like fancy facter basically: https://osquery.io/schema/ Who knows if they support events or not though.

> This project is psutil in go Great idea for more possible functions... Who wants to help add event-driven versions in mgmt! =D
