Gofer provides an extensible, light weight, universal python agent. It has no relation to the Gopher protocol. The gofer core agent is a python daemon (service) that provides infrastructure for exposing a remote API and for running Recurring Actions. The APIs contributed by plugins are accessible by Remote Method Invocation (RMI). The transport for RMI is AMQP using a message broker. Actions are also provided by plugins and are executed at the specified interval.
