The '''Tnm''' (Tcl Network Managements) compiled extension has been created to work across varied UNIX��® and Unix-like systems, by J��¼rgen Sch��¶nw��¤lder [http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/~schoenw/] and was also ported to run on WindowsNT. It consists of two major (visible) components, and can be successfully stubbed. The ''[scotty]'' package is an extensive '''tclsh''' exension, building on install its own tclsh (named scotty), as well as (depending upon compile and install options) becoming a dynamically loadable extension. It is especially useful by itself for the construction of monitor [daemon]s, and more. It extends tcl with: * '''SNMP''' (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv2u including access to MIB definitions) * '''ICMP''' (echo, mask, timestamp and udp/icmp traceroute requests) * '''DNS''' (a, ptr, hinfo, mx and soa record lookups), as well as '''NETDB''' (local access to hosts, services, protocols and similar system databases) * '''HTTP''' (simple compiled server and client side, each) * SUN '''RPC''' (portmapper, mount, rstat, etherstat, pcnfs services) * '''NTP''' (version 3 mode 6 request) * '''UDP''' (send and receive UDP datagrams) It also provides easy access to * '''SYSLOG''' logging with specified importance, as facility '''daemon''' * '''JOB''' scheduling, which significantly extends the normal '''after''' capabilities, without the stream parsing presumed by expect.. Although current versions are not namespaced, they are OO in design. Most commands create a command, similar to the '''class''' constructor access in [[incr Tcl]] or widget creation in Tk. Preliminary testing indicates compatibility with [[incr Tcl]] when both libitcl and tnm are dynamically loaded. The '''Tkined''' ('''T'''cl/t'''K''' based '''I'''nteractive '''N'''etwork '''ED'''itor) [http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~schoenw/scotty/docs/getstart.html] is a specially constructed wish-based editor. It comes with varied world and regional maps, geographical locations of ''some'' IP addresses, a collection of bitmapped images for representing components of a network, and much more. It has a collection of background daemon scripts to run scotty processes as slaves, and a job management for use of those scripts. As such, it can not only use SMTP for network management, but it also can do simple things, like monitoring ping times. [Progress Development]'s valuable "Getting Started with Tkined" [http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~schoenw/scotty/docs/getstart.html] is strongly recommended. It adds several chart types to the Canvas widget for use within its ''editor'' sessions, as well. Most *N?X systems have tailored packages, although it installs well. Two special tools require SUID root status in order to access reserved ports. Downloads of source and Windows at ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/devel/ ---- Recent sources, as of February 2002: http://spog.gaertner.de/~schoenfr/scotty/scotty300-snap20000813.zip . Also, Juergen has prepared http://spog.gaertner.de/~schoenfr/scotty/scotty300-snap20020301.zip , a new binary for Windows. ... and the CVS is updated all the time with bug fixes and enhancments ( like Tcl/TK 8.4 support ). Those snapshots are antiques. ---- Above, where it says it is using SMTP for network mgmt....... Isn't that supposed to be SNMP? Unless there is some nifty SNMP over SMTP RFC... ---- Apparently there has been a problem with the CVS server and there is now a snapshot made every night of the scotty source code available at: ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/local/scotty/scotty-cvs-snapshot.tar.gz (took me a long time to find this out) Unfortunately the above snapshot was removed (as of 11-16-2004) However, some versions of scotty code can still be found at ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/ Anyone know who runs that site? ---- [Category Internet]
