This program aims to enhance the internetwork management software with a graphical user interface (GUI) to improve user experience. The current text-only version will be upgraded to a GUI client with various features to facilitate ease of use. The project involves writing scripts in Perl and developing a GUI client in Perl/Tk for Linux/UNIX systems. The GUI client is still in progress and will allow for customization through graphical menus. To stay updated or contribute, visit the project's code repository or blog. Special thanks to Dr. Moorthy and Sean O'Sullivan for their support. For more information or questions, contact the developer via email.

Internetwork Management Program Matt O'Brien Friday, November 5th, 2010
Project Overview • Tabbed Telnet and SSH client for Linux/UNIX • Specific features to aid in Internetwork Management • Scripts written in Perl, GUI client written in Perl/Tk. • Currently, program is text-only • GUI will fix that...
But...Why? • End-users don't tend to like text-only programs. • If this were a chess program.. • Software currently relies heavily on a third-party application • OS/X.... • Fun!
Progress Status • GUI client underway • Client spawns window, spawns tabs at will • Perl/Telnet: So many options!!!
Still to Come • GUI client does not yet interface with the current scripts. • I.e, it doesn't do anything special, yet. • Logging of commands • Customize-ability through graphical menus. • Deployment at RPI...
