Project Summary

jrwho is a desktop monitoring tool for the UNIX/Linux Systems Administrator, a GUI that will give you a picture of what's going on on machines around your network.

Back in the day, when the Sun 3/50 was king of the desktop, there was rwho. It was, and could still be, a handy way to keep track of who was logged in on the machines on your network. One of rwho's problems is that it depends on a relatively insecure protocol. It's shut down at many sites- probably including yours.

jrwho is a graphical superset of rwho. It is designed to give you a graphical layout of your multitude of hosts, including the user logged into your console and other pertinent details (user's GECOS name, results of uptime(1)). It uses SSH as its underlying communications service.

jrwho runs a set of UNIX shell commands that you define. You can set a new default, or set actions on a machine-by-machine basis. Actually, each jpanel that represents a machine doesn't even have to represent a machine. Since the set of actions is defineable by the user, the objects that I call machines could be representative of whatever the Administrator desires.

jrwho uses a paradigm of "Room"s which are JInternalFrames. Within them are a bunch of squares which represent your "Machine"s. Machines can be added and deleted from rooms, rooms can be created and destroyed, machines can be moved from Room to Room. There are more features to the jrwho GUI than are listed here.

Java is not known as a systems programming language, but I think it's pretty hot. Hopefully you'll find jrwho useful.
