Hi, I just got back from Tunisia, the server was QRV during the entire week I stayed there. Monitoring the server from Tunisia was not easy. There was no hsdpa, no gprs, no wlan and of course I got no permit to operate pskmail from there (felt like I had time travelled to the middle ages). There was one "internet pc" at the hotel (dialup?) and that was either not working or very busy. I tried using my Sangean ATS-505 to listen and I did hear a few beacons but they were weak. Normally I use the gmfsk.php script to monitor the server and ssh for everything else. I use the putty ssh client, http://s2putty.sourceforge.net/ , in my phone (Nokia N95) so I usually look at the gmfsk.php page once in a while and connect using ssh when needed. I run the server under a screen session. If you are unfamiliar with that then it will let me attach to the terminal running the pskmail server from anywhere. What I mean is that I run screen in a terminal on the server and within that terminal session I launch the pskmail server. When I connect using my phone I just enter "screen -D -R" and I get the "local" terminal on my phone. When I am done I just disconnect from that session using "screen -d" and then terminate the ssh connection. 73 de Per, sm0rwo tis 2008-06-10 klockan 13:23 -0700 skrev Kovelan: > team, > > > > currently on an assignment to SC until september, > > getting the Boeing 787 up and going. > > > > this means if the server goes down in Texas, there > > is little i can do. maybe i can talk the wife thru the > > procedure. > > > > that brings to mind, what remote software are server > > owners using to look remotely?
