The '''Tnm''' (Tcl Network Managements) compiled extension has been created to work across varied UNIX® and Unix-like systems, by Jürgen Schönwälder [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/ ---------------------- One problem that I found working with the last Debian packaging (00-2-21-2 scotty) is that it is not possible to define a network with a non/octet netmask, like 255.255.255.240. This is dealt in the ip_discover script, but should be managed also at network object level.

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? ---- what would be cool for Tnm 3.1, a wish list [Tnm3.1] ---- Note that Tnm 3.0.0 appears to have a bug that requires one to have $HOME in one's exported environment. The code looks for "~/.tnm" . If one attempts to use Tnm from cron, without having set $HOME, you are likely to get the error: Called UpdateStringOfFsPath with invalid object Hmm, I wonder if Tcl_FSConvertToPathType should check for that... ---- ---- Mirrors: * https://subversion.eecs.iu-bremen.de/svn/schoenw/src/scotty/ * http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/doug/tkined.html * ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/devel/ * ftp://sunsite.org.uk/packages/scotty * ftp://ftp.mscs.mu.edu/pub/mirrors/scotty * ftp://ftp.ibp.fr/pub/tcl/tkined * ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/network/editors/tkined * ftp://ftp.inf.utfsm.cl/pub/Languages/tcl/tkined * ftp://NCTUCCCA.edu.tw/Operating-Systems/Linux/packages/tkined * ftp://ftp.core.ipp.pt/pub/mirrors/scotty * ftp://ftp.hsrc.ac.za/pub/network/scotty * ftp://scotty.saino.ne.jp/pub/ * http://scotty.saino.ne.jp/ * ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/network/editors/tkined * http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/scotty/ * http://spog.gaertner.de/~schoenfr/scotty/ * https://trac.eecs.iu-bremen.de/projects/scotty/ * http://agitator.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pipermail/tkined/2005-August/006288.html ---- !!!!!! %| [Category Internet] | [Category System Administration] |% !!!!!!
