* Package name : lapdog Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Salvo Tomaselli <tipos...@tiscali.it> * URL : https://github.com/ltworf/lapdog * License : GPL Programming Lang: C++ Description : Take actions when specific devices appear/disappear from your LAN lapdog is a service that monitors the presence/absence of the devices on your LAN and executes some actions accordingly. . It pings the devices to discover if they are connected or not. And uses their MAC address and not their IP, so it works on networks with DHCP. More details: Works nicely with laptops: it can be configured to only activate itself when the machine sees a certain gateway, so on new networks it will not do anything. I already created a debian branch on git with the packaging stuff. I find the package quite useful especially to turn off the lights when I leave home, suspend my computer and similar things. It's extremely configurable and can be used for many more things.
