This software provides various terminal utilities for UNIX/Linux systems, allowing users to execute commands and manipulate files efficiently. It includes tools for text processing, file management, network communication, and system administration.
One of the unique features of ttyexec is that the end-user feels no difference between a ttyexec executed command and a directly executed command. Additionally, administrators can watch specific conditions to trigger an event using the virtual terminal emulator. For example, if you want to execute a program by another program status without modifying the program, ttyexec is your go-to utility.
Ttyadmin, on the other hand, is a must-have administrator tool that uses ncurses(3X) window interface. This tool allows you to view and control existing ttyexec instances with ease. It's simple and efficient, with a user-friendly interface that's easy to navigate.
A tool that's similar to BSD watch(1) but without too many limitations is ttylook. It's easy to connect to any existing ttyexec instance, snoop on the terminal output, or log in input data if you enter the writable mode. If you're into extension programs, you'll be happy to know that ttyutils has a few, including ttyfeed, ttysnap, and others. Each of them supports the "--help" command line option.
One of the highlights of ttyutils is that it has an excellent manual available in .info, .html, .pdf, and .ps format, thanks to GNU texinfo(5). This makes it easy for anyone to use ttyutils, even for first-time users.
