1. A system for remote management of manageable resources distributed across multiple application hosts comprising:

  • an application manager in a first application host;

    a master agent in a second application host; and

    , a plurality of mini-agents in remote application hosts separate from said first and second application hosts, wherein each of said first application host, said second application host, and said remote application hosts are software machines configured to interpret compiled machine-independent code;

    said master agent receiving from said application manager a management command to perform at least one management operation directed to at least one manageable resource;

    said master agent communicating said management command to a mini-agent in a remote application host containing said at least one manageable resource;

    said mini-agent commanding said at least one manageable resource to perform said at least one management operation responsive to receiving said management command from said master agent, wherein each of said first application host, said second application host, and said remote application hosts are Java Virtual Machines (“

    JVMs”

    ).
