Description:
Scotty is a Tcl interpreter with extensions to obtain status
and configuration information about TCP/IP networks. After
startup, scotty evaluates the commands stored in .scottyrc
and .tclshrc in the home directory of the user.
The scotty extensions provide new Tcl commands to
- send and receive ICMP packets
- query the Domain Name System (DNS)
- access UDP sockets from Tcl
- probe and use some selected SUN RPCs
- retrieve and serve documents via HTTP
- send and reveice SNMP messages (SNMPv1, SNMPv2USEC, SNMPv2C)
- write special purpose SNMP agents in Tcl
- parse and access SNMP MIB definitions
- schedule jobs that are to be done regularly
This distribution also includes the sources for Tkined.
Tkined is a network editor which allows to draw maps showing
your network configuration. The most important feature of Tkined
is its programming interface which allows network management
applications to extend the capabilities of Tkined. Most applications
for Tkined are written using scotty.
