Remote Shell for Felix

[Sahoo]

I want to try some kind of remote shell for administering Felix. I got
lost in the long discussion that's happening in the dev alias with the
subject "telnetd discussion." I really need some simple instructions to
download the shell bundles and use the same. I will appreciate if
someone can provide the same.

Thanks,
Sahoo

Hi Sahoo;

Not sure this is the latest telnetd service, but you can try this one:  
http://www2.osgi.org/Repository/HomePage?cmd=inspect&id=com.softsell.open.osgi.telnetd/1.0.0

Don't forget to set the following property: osgi.shell.telnet=on
The default telnetd port number is: 6623, but you can adjust it by
modifying the PORT parameter in
the file  com/softsell/open/osgi/telnetd/resource/Listener.properties
(inside telnetd.jar).

Notice that, in the felix trunc, there is a very useful "webconsole"
bundle which you can use for remote bundle management ...

Best Regards
/Pierre

Hi Sahoo,

Sorry for the confusion this discussion brings you ... We are still
trying to figure out the details of how to proceed....

Anyway, for your quickstart, I suggest you grab the bundle Dieter is
offering in this message [1]. In addition you need the Apache Felix
Shell bundle and this should pretty much be it for a simple solution (IIRC).


Hope this helps for the shortterm.

Regards
Felix

Hi Felix,

Thanks for answering. I downloaded that bundle and am able to use it. I
hope the discussion in dev alias ends soon and we have a light-weight
remote shell officially available. I know there is a webconsole, but as
I understand it depends on an OSGi http service, which I don't yet have
in my environment, so I can't use the same.

Thanks,
Sahoo

Pierre,

Thanks. I tried the bundle and it appears to be working. Any particular
reason why the bundle uses a property name (osgi.shell.telnet)  in osgi
namespace? I used to think properties beginning with osgi. should be
reserved for use by the OSGi spec.

Yes, I have heard about the webconsole, but because of some limitation
in our environment, we can't yet run the webconsole.

Thanks,
Sahoo

It is an old bundle...it should probably be changed...part of the telnet
thread was intended to address the somewhat neglected state of this
bundle. It works and does the job for simple purposes, but it was not
intended to be full featured. So, my goal is to find a way to find a way
to continue providing such functionality for Felix. That's what the
other discussion is about. :-)
