In evidence the capability to lock a host or a system so to lock all jobs at once such as the possibility to receive notification on job event (i.e. start and end).

In addition the File Watch plugin was added and the Service Check plugin now is able to check multiple services at once allowing to select the most commonly used service directly from a default list.

Help and comments are always welcome, see http://www.ortro.net for full changelog and details.

Ortro 1.3.3 and the plugins may be downloaded as usual from:
http://www.ortro.net/download

Now the Pear::Auth package is used for authentication and the timeout for long running jobs was added.
The memory free and mysql database table check plugins were added.
In addition the installer was improved and FCKeditor library was updated.

I have used Pear::MDB2 abstraction layer to interact with the database but the code above should work with any other db abstraction layer or PHP built-in functions.

We recommend everyone update immediately.

In addition to the security fix, the Net_Nmap library was updated making the autodiscovery without OS detection more faster, the capability to upload files for plugins and the Web Service Test Plugin using SoapUI were added.

The SimpleTest and FCKeditor libraries were updated.

Help and comments are always welcome, see http://www.ortro.net for full changelog and details.

Ortro 1.3.1 and the plugins may be downloaded as usual from:
http://www.ortro.net/download

Net_Nmap can be used to auto discovery hosts and services in your network or simply to parse Nmap XML output.

You may install it on your system simply typing:

$ pear install Net_Nmap

or if prefer download it from the Pear web site.

To solve this you may use:

find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 <command>
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 <command>

For example to fix recursively permission:

find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644

This version comes with some interesting features such us the auto discovery of the hosts and an import/export tools.
The Auto discovery tool is built on top of the Pear Net_Nmap library and allows to scan your network and successively add automatically the discovered hosts in a specified System.

For a detailed list of bug fixes and improvements you may see the changelog.

Ortro 1.3.0 and the plugins may be downloaded as usual from:
