Tcl Extensions for Network Management Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents extensions to the Tool Command Language (Tcl) that have been designed to implement network management applications. Using Tcl, we were able to make our network management applications highly extensible. Experience has shown that many useful applications can be written with a few lines of Tcl code. Site speciic adaptations are possible at very low cost. We have used our extensions to implement smart network management agents that can receive and execute management scripts provided by other management stations or agents.

Extending Traces with OAT: An Object Attribute Trace Package for Tcl/Tk
Tcl supports variable traces, which associate arbitrary scripts with variable reads, writes and unsets. We developed OAT (Object Attribute Traces), a protocol for extending traces to attributes of arbitrary Tcl “objects.” We wrote several OAT-based extensions including TkOAT, which provides traces on attributes of Tk widgets and canvas items. The OAT protocol and derived extensions bring the be...
متن کاملThresh--A Data-Directed SNMP Threshold Poller
Thresh is a simple SNMP [1] monitor, written in Scotty [2] (Tcl [3] with the Tnm extensions), which uses the UNIX file system hierarchy for configuration and data storage. Thresh compares SNMP variables to per-device thresholds or values, and issues notifications if any current SNMP variable values are unacceptable (or unexpected). Thresh can be used by itself, or as a complement to other netwo...
متن کاملExtending Tcl for Dynamic Object-Oriented Programming
Object Tcl is an extension to the Tool Command Language (Tcl) for the management of complicated data types and dynamic object-oriented programming in general. We believe it is a worthy alternative to other object-oriented programming extensions (including [incr Tcl]) because it may be used dynamically, allows for per object specialization, has an economy of design and implementation, and provid...
متن کاملTcl/tk for a Personal Digital Assistant
This paper reports on the experience of providing Tcl/Tk for the ParcTab, a personal digital assistant built at Xerox PARC. The primary reason for supporting an extension language like Tcl/Tk for a PDA is to supply the same platform-independent infrastructure for user interface design and communication between the PDA and remote applications. The result was that Tcl/Tk enabled rapid prototyping...
متن کاملTcl and Java Integration
This paper describes the motivations and strategies behind our group’s efforts to integrate the Tcl and Java programming languages. From the Java perspective, we wish to create a powerful scripting solution for Java applications and operating environments. From the Tcl perspective, we want to allow for cross-platform Tcl extensions and leverage the useful features and user community Java has to...
