Usher is a simple task-based system with a JSON configuration file definition. The general idea is to provide a set of simple to use and configure tasks that can be used for anything from web application deployment to generic system tasks.

Usher is PHP-powered, but command-line based tasks can be created to work with any desired tool. The goal is to provide an easy to extend framework for task definition.
