vnc manager that show online\offline servers with repeater

Post by zuri111 »

Hi
is there some kind of "vnc connection manager" that will show online and offline servers that are connected (or not connected) to the repeat.
(the offline server list will be created by listing every server that was connected to the repeater in the past)
this way we can know if a server was disconnected from the repeater.

the list of server i am talking about is like in teamviewer offline pc list and logmein gray pc names.

i know that with port forwarding and withour a repeater that can be dune with remotedesktopmanger.com
but with a repeater i sow it only with impcremote.com

The Unix/Linux repeater stores the ID number of connected machines in an environemnt variable. Accessing that data is really hard.

A few years ago I tried to re-write the repeater into Python so I could easily database all the connection info. But there are so many undocumented hacks made to uVNC and the repeater I had to give up - for now.

In theory it would not be hard to modify the existing Unix/Linux repeater to pass the connection info to another script that logs it to a database. And I have a vague memory of reading a handy shell utility that can do it from command line variables.

Don't forget that you cannot 100% trust the "status" information. Once a port is opened to a connected machine, it will stay "open" even if the other machine goes away. Such is the nature of ports and TCP programming.
