MTR - a network diagnostic tool

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Sehr feines Tool danke an Herrn Pritlove für den Tipp !

Gehört im MobileMacs Podcast .

mtr combines the functionality of the ‘traceroute’ and ‘ping’ programs in a single network diagnostic tool. As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it determines the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints running statistics about each machine.

Install via MacPorts:

jca@kitten:~ $ sudo port install mtr

iTunes controller

I finally have found a decent (= not bloated + free) iTunes Controller for the menubar.

Synergy is quite nice but I don’t need all it’s features.
