PAC Manager

PAC is a Perl/GTK Gnome replacement for SecureCRT/Putty/etc... It provides a GUI to configure SSH/Telnet connections: users, passwords, EXPECT regular expressions, macros, etc. You like \'SSHMenu\'? If so, you must check this tool. Just let me know how do you feel about it!

- Simple GUI to manage/launch connections to remote machines.
- Scripting possibilities, 'ala' SecureCRT
- Configurable [Pre|Post]-connection local commands execution.
- Configurable list of macros (commands) to send to connected client.
- Configurable list of macros (commands) to execute locally when connected.
- Configurable list of conditional executions on connected machine via 'Expect':
. forget about SSH certificates
. chain multiple ssh connections
. automate tunnels creation
. with line-send delay capabilities!! etc...
- Ability to connect to machines through a Proxy server!
- CLUSTER connections.
- TABBED/WINDOWED terminals
- KeePassX integration!
- Wake On LAN capabilities
- Local and Global variables, eg.: write down a password once, use it ANY where, centralizing its modification for faster changes! use them for:
. password vault
. reusing connection strings
- Seamless Gnome/Gtk integration.
- Tray icon for 'right button' quick launching of managed connections. Screenshots and statistics!
- DEB, RPM and .TAR.GZ packages available
- Written in Perl/Gtk (wait, *is* that a feature? Well, it is for me! ;=)
- It is FREE (as in freedom)!! and licensed under GNU GPLv3.

- 4.5.1:

. Added support for non UTF-8 encodings in KeePass!!
. Added the possibility to have BOTH "rdesktop" and "xfreerdp" connectors at the same time, allowing user to choose which one to use! :)
. Added the possibility to "EMBED" RDP windows when using 'xfreerdp' (only tested/working on Ubuntu/Unity). It doesn't always honour the "-X" option :(
. Added the possibility to "EMBED" VNC when using 'xtightvnc' (only tested/working on Ubuntu/Unity). It doesn't always provide/honour the embedding option :(
. Added an option to not cipher text when exporting connections (more compatibility when importing from another machine)
. Added "" PAC variable to choose a value from KeePass given a source and Perl Regular Expression ( i.e: here, '^.*local\d+$' is the Perl Regular Expression )!!
. Added command line option "--start-uuid=[:]"
. Added command line option "--edit-uuid=" to start PAC directly editting a connection
. Added command line option "--start-script=" to start given script directly on PAC startup

. Changed KeePassX infer behavior to allo using a Regular Expression to match against a Title
