hoi list,
not sure if this is the right place to ask,
but it's probably the best place to start..
i'm working on an application that will need to run as a stand-alone
kiosk-application.
the app will be deployed on an arbitrary number of client machines,
spread over several locations,
and they will be connected to the internet.
now i would like to have the application create an ssh-tunnel to my
server,
so that at any time, i can remotely login to those clients for
monitoring and maintenance,
without having to deal with the sys-admins and firewalls of the
location where the client is situated.
i have some experience with creating ssh-tunnels on linux and osx,
but i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction
for implementing this inside a cocoa-app.
what i was thinking of is functionality to be able to communicate
with the running client binary,
without having to go through apple-script or something.
i would for instance like be able to login, and ask the app for a
status report (record containing certain ivar values),
or instruct the software to go from one state (running) into another
(update software).
and ofcourse anything else that turns out te be very usefull...
i could just execute a shellscript (NSTask) that creates the tunnel,
and then implement a small server in my app that listenes to some
socket on localhost etc..
but i wondered if anyone could point me to projects that try to do
something similair
i don't want to reinvent the wheel you know..
thanks
arri
