What is tkined?
tkined is a drawing program that allows you to produce maps of your
network configuration. But the most important feature of tkined is
its programming interface that can be used to turn the editor into a
network management system. tkined provides commands to present status
information in stripcharts, barcharts or as piecharts.
And what about scotty?
scotty is a tcl interpreter that has extensions to set up TCP
connections, to submit ICMP packets and to query various RPC services.
There are some sample scripts for troubleshooting your network
(ping, traceroute, finger, query tcp services, query RPC services),
for monitoring network status and to layout your IP network map.
Whats new in tkined-0.5 and scotty-0.6 ?
- tkined is now a real binary. You do not need addinput
anymore. But you still need tk 3.2 / tcl 6.7
- group objects are here
- speed up
- scotty has a dns command to query the domain name system
- extensions of the scotty scripts to make use of group objects
