Configuring Linux via Java

1999-05-18 Thread Gary Howard

I would like to be able to use a Java GUI to configure Linux (IP
address, users, etc. - just like linuxconf). Does anyone know of any
current efforts to do this type of thing that might save me a lot of
work?

Any major problem areas you can foresee with doing this?

Thank you,

   -Gary

Re: sockets problem

Make sure you are not using a println() to write out your commands
since  the "ln" part is platform dependent and typically not CRLF which
is probably not what telnet is looking for. Instead, use:

   String CRLF = "\r\n";
   String command = "telnet_command";
   PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
   writer.write(command);
   writer.write(CRLF);
   writer.flush(); // flush the buffer!
