mygtw: mysql gui tools wrapper

Tag: Otherjdoe @ 4:49 pm

mygtw is a simple wrapper to the mysql gui tools.
Basically it set up ssh tunnels to remote databases
that do not accept remote connections, then it starts the program
provided on command line.

It uses paramiko (http://www.lag.net/paramiko/) for managing ssh tunnels

DOWLOAD:
———-
mygtw-0.1.0
INSTALL:
——–
run (as root)

python setup.py install

USAGE:
——
mygtw <program to run> [ -v {0,1,2}]

CONFIGURATION:
————–

*** You NEED ssh to be setup with key authentication before using this program ***
No password will be ask..
Configure key-based authentication. If you use a passphrase for your keys you’ll have to use
some sort of agent to manage your sessions. Again, no passphrase will be asked
If you use GNOME, you can set up your keys and key-based authentication using
seahorse.

Configure username, port, etc in ~/.ssh/ssh_config (check ssh(1))
Configure local and remote port in ~/.mygtw.cfg (a sample configuration file is provided
in /usr/share/mygtw, format is very simple)

mygtw will start EVERY connection listed in the configuration file on startup
