Remote Linux Manager

Cosmetic update.

All functionality still exists but because of the previous update had status updates added, we could afford to tweak the UI to a new look.

All toy town Windows XP look buttons are gone and are replaced with icons down the left hand side.

now there is more room to view windows and the stats can be presented to the administrator in a more friendly way

The pc list and Log file can be dragged vertically for the user to tailor

Can be downloaded from :-

https://github.com/diddy-boy/Remote-Linux-Manager

New version adds :-

Added a status display in the bottom bar that will show info like :-
Offline pc's
Longest Uptime of any pc
Server fleet health
Last action performed
PC with lowest disk space free
PC with most updates pending
Last update
Oldest snapshot

when syncing number of PC's synchronized

also added an auto check every 5 minutes for all registered pc's in the list which also updates the status bar.

Now users can auto monitor their server fleet

Also added detection and refresh every 30 seconds if a PC goes offline and when the pc comes online again.

Remote Linux Manager

New version adds export to a log file for all of the activity window (bottom view).

great for checking at a later date.

Also refactored code and removed ghost code, duplicates and optimised for speed.

general usage is a lot faster now.

Users can now execute a script after uploading to a remote linux machine.

Just select 'Send File' button, browse to the script.

tick the 'execute script after upload' and select 'Send File'.

the scripts output will be shown in the log window.

the Manager will inject a sudo password if asked but I wouldn't recommend interactive scripts 

A small UI bug existed for running under Mac OS Tahoe where all of the buttons used a buggy tkinker library, updated to detect os and then use Macos library.

Linux and Windows unaffected by this bug

all working under Linux, Windows and Mac OS now

Screenshot under Mac OS Tahoe

New version has a 'send file' option where a local file can be sent to the remote pc users home directory

also updated the 'run command' view with a list of popular commands but the user can still enter their own commands if needed

also added Garuda Linux to the list of supported Linux pcs so the Linux launcher should now work on all popular Linux distributions

New version of the linux.sh launcher now detects OS and installs the python dependencies based on detection of Arch based or Ubuntu based OS.

Here's a screenshot running under Pear OS NiceC0re

New version has colour coded PC List view that ties up with the colour coded activity log view.

so now its very easy to follow each pc's log output.

if running on the linux development machine under chrome os, to fix the pc name lookup, install the following on the chrome os linux temrinal :-

sudo apt install libnss-mdns

sudo apt install samba winbind libnss-winbind

edit the nssswitch.conf file with :-

sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf 

edit the hosts to use wins name lookup so it should look like :-

hosts:          files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns

save and exit. now the Linux remote app can be ran up with cd /manage-pcs

./linux.sh 

Running on Chrome OS Flex

New version has activity log window coloured for each pc in the list.

so much easier to follow.

also helps if you are running multiple operations at the same time.

e.g. updating software on one pc, whilst rebooting another pc and waiting for it to reboot.
