* PAC (Perl Auto Connector), by David Torrejon Vaquerizas (david.tv@gmail.com), is FREE software, released under GNU's GPLv3 license.
* PAC is a SecureCRT/Putty/etc (connections manager with automations) equivalent for the Linux world.
* FEATURES (by now):
- Simple GUI to manage/launch connections to remote machines.
- Scripting possibilities, 'ala' SecureCRT
- Configurable [Pre|Post]-connection local commands execution.
- Configurable list of macros (commands) to execute locally when connected or to send to connected client.
- Configurable list of conditional executions on connected machine via 'Expect':
. forget about SSH certificates
. chain multiple ssh connections
. automate tunnels creation
. with line-send delay capabilities!! etc...
- KeePassX integration!
- Ability to connect to machines through a Proxy server!
- CLUSTER connections.
- TABBED/WINDOWED terminals
- Wake On LAN capabilities
- 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
- Seamless Gnome/Gtk integration.
- Tray icon for 'right button' quick launching of managed connections. Screenshots and statistics!
- DEB, RPM and .TAR.GZ packages available
- Written in Perl/Gtk (wait, *is* that a feature? Well, it is for me! ;=)
- It is FREE (as in freedom)!! and licensed under GNU GPLv3.
* INSTALL:
- Preferably, use "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu <your_distrib_name>-getdeb apps", but if you can/want not to use it, simply download the corresponding package from "http://sourceforge.net/projects/pacmanager" for your system and install it.
- Now you can take a look at your Gnome's menu under "Applications" -> "Internet" -> "PAC", or type "pac" in your terminal.
* VERSIONS:
- 4.5.5.8:
. Fixed a bug that prevented PAC from starting with "clusters" view selected
- 4.5.5.7:
