TinyTERM Enterprise AS vs SSH OneShot Lite

TinyTERM Enterprise for iOS combines secure terminal emulation with highly configurable keyboards to allow creation and deployment of purpose-based and scanning devices requiring access to legacy hosts or HTML 5/Javascript application in modern mobile environments. The included secure SSH, SSL, and telnet IBM/VT/ANSI/Wyse/ADDS terminal emulation provides macros, printing and automation capabilities with scanner support. TinyTERM Enterprise provides enterprise deployment capabilities including configuration push, user interface lockdown and extensive configuration import/export management. TinyTERM’s industrial browser includes comprehensive scanning capabilities for scanning bar codes into input fields, redirecting QR scan codes to web pages and full compatibility with Safari. The Scandit software-based barcode scanner provides lightning-fast scanning speed to power today’s enterprise-grade solutions. Scandit’s precision scanning performs in the most adverse of conditions, such as low lighting, glare and warped surfaces, and works with all major 1D and 2D barcode symbologies. TinyTERM Enterprise includes a 14-day trial of the Scandit software barcode scanner solution for evaluation.

SSH OneShot is a little iPhone app that lets you store individual ssh commands that you run on your computer or server. The Lite version is limited to two folders to organize your commands, but can be unlocked to unlimited folders with an in-app purchase. What can I use it for? Just about anything you can do on a command line can now be launched from your phone. The different use cases are as follows: Commands These are commands that you launch blindly, without waiting for an results. Examples are for starting and stopping apps and services, or accessing RESTful services via curl that trigger actions. On a Mac you can launch apps in the current open session with something like: osascript -e 'tell application "iTunes" to activate' This can be useful if you have a media server in a closet. Or on a Linux server: service httpd stop Or any other more complex executable script file that you have written. Commands with results These are commands that you launch and want to see the results of. This can be as simple as an “ls” on a directory to see if an ftp upload has finished, a quick service status check or something more complicated like grepping through a log file for errors. Again this can be anything launchable on the command line. There are currently some limitations on the kinds of commands that you can run here. Interactive commands that need to know the terminal type like top, prstat and things like that will not work. Any commands that open an output stream will also not work (but I’m working on for the next release). Status Commands These commands add a little more interactivity. These commands will automatically fire off when you open a folder containing Status Commands and turn the button red or green depending on the results. The basic working mode is that if the command receives anything as a result, that’s good (green) and no response is bad(red). So if you want to check if iTunes is running on the media server you can use the following command: ps ax | grep iTunes | grep -v grep | grep -v iTunesHelper In this example, we take the list of running processes, find all the lines containing the word iTunes (case is important!), and then, using -v eliminate the lines containing grep (which is our initial command) and the same technique to eliminate the line containing the iTunesHelper process that keeps running in the background whether iTunes is running or not. So if iTunes is running, we will get back a line from the original request, otherwise the result will be empty. If you are having difficulty phrasing the command so that empty is bad, you can flip a switch to swap that part around. For example I check the results of my ZFS server with zpool status and look for the word “degraded” which means there’s a disk offline that I need to check on. zpool status | grep degraded With the “Null return is good” switch turned on. Is it secure ? Passwords are stored in the iOS keychain, and all network communication is via SSH, so, well, yes. Navigation Press and hold a command or a folder and you can reorder it, file it in a folder, or use the edit and delete buttons at the bottom of the screen.
