Abstract
A method for managing operating system option values includes receiving a request to perform a function involving an option value in a computing device. The computing device is one of a plurality of computing devices, and at least two of the plurality of computing devices are associated with different operating systems. The method also includes identifying one or more commands associated with the requested function. The one or more commands are operable to cause the computing device to perform the requested function. The method further includes generating the one or more commands, communicating the one or more commands for execution at the computing device, receiving a response associated with the one or more commands, and making at least a portion of the response available.
