NAME

pac – Perl Auto Connector

SYNOPSIS

pac [-start_tray]

DESCRIPTION

pac is a (simple?) GUI to manage/launch connections to remote machines with:

– Configurable [Pre|Post]-connection local commands execution.

– Configurable list of macros (commands) to send to connected client.

– Configurable list of macros (commands) to execute locally when connected.

– Configurable list of conditional executions on connected machine via ‘Expect’:

. forget about SSH certificates

. chain multiple ssh connections

. automate tunnels creation

. etc

– Ability to connect to machines through a Proxy server!

– Scripting (Perl language), just like SecureCRT, but much better! :P

– Wake On LAN capabilities

– TABBED/WINDOWED terminals

– Possibility to *CLUSTER* terminals!!

– Local and Global variables, eg.: write down a password once, use it ANY where, centralizing its modification for faster changes! use them for:

. password vault

. reusing connection strings

. etc

– Seamless Gnome/Gtk integration.

– Tray icon for ‘right button’ quick launching of managed connections.

– Written in Perl/Gtk (wait, *is* that a feature? Well, it is for me! ;=)

OPTIONS

-start_tray: Initialise pac minimized to tray.

FILES

~/.pac/

: Per user configuration directory.

Well… I thinks that by this version, there should not be any known bugs but, I’m sure you ‘will’ find some. If so, please, let me know!
