Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Andrew <rubiks...@grue.cc> * Package name : nccm Version : 1.2.0 Upstream Author : Kenneth Aaron <flyingrh...@orcon.net.nz> * URL : https://github.com/flyingrhinonz/nccm * License : GPL3 Programming Lang: Python Description : Terminal based ssh connection manager
This is a terminal based (ncurses) ssh connection manager. Configuration is done via a yaml file and each connection can be configured with user@host, a comment, an identity file and general ssh options. The list can be searched directly from the command line and, if more than one match exists, an ncurses interface is presented to select the required host. The search is done on any configured field and the interface permits ordering based on any of the displayed fields. - why is this package useful/relevant? This package lets you easily keep track of hosts when you have a lot to connect to. Once you configure it you can just type in nccm mail and access the host that, say, has mail in the comment field. If more than one matches then it puts up an ncurses interface to let you select one from a filtered list of mail hosts. - how do you plan to maintain it? It's a simple package so I plan on doing it myself in my own git repo (https://github.com/rubiksdot/nccm). I am in contact with the author and have already submitted patches to the utility. Communication with him is good and have found him very responsive to suggestions I've given him as well bug reports.
