Firewall status tray icon - firewallstate-2.1
Posted: Thu 15 Jul 2010, 15:43
firewallstate 2.1
Small change.
The Information window now updates.
The external IP and net IP fields didn't change due to not re-running the 'Info' fields when the Information menu item was run. This has now been changed and the fields are updated.
So if your external IP changes, then the Information window is correct.
=================
firewallstate 2.0
For 5.2.8 and 5.2.9 as well as Slacko
Fixes On/Off bug caused by change of gtk.
=================
firewallstate 1.9
Added the "remove firewall from reboot" button to the On/Off dialogue.
This remembers when it is turned off at reboot.
==================
firewallstate 1.8
There is no need to download if you are running latest Lucid 5.2 as this is the version within that. I post it here to keep up to date.
firewallstate 1.7
Fixed two spelling errors and removed second firewallstate that loaded to root.
===========
Firewallstate-214
a version for ttuuxxx's 214
===========
It places an icon in the tray which indicates the status of the firewall on/off with a menu with utils.
It has a left click run the firewall wizard directly.
There is a right click menu with option to run wizard and also to remove the icon from tray once firewall is running.
The reason for this tray app was for new iso installs really. It would act as a reminder when first starting the install that the firewall was off. Once the wizard had been run it could be removed.
It has grown quite a bit though since.
Version 1.5 & Version 1.5-full
Final versions as far as I'm concerned.
The app now installs to /usr/local/firewallstate and now has a small script for boot startup which has a 20 second wait for the network connection to finish. In other versions if the network wasn't up it errored out and wouldn't start. If that is too long for you just alter the setting in firewallstaterun.
Has right click menu entries:-
Information -This gives a good report of system settings.
Firewall wizard - Select this to run firewall wizard
Internet Connection Wizard - Run this to run the classic wizard.
Set Time & Date - As it says
Psync - Runs my Psync time server accurate time setter app.
It's a bit more concise than before, but as far as C and gtk go, it's not small. Scripting it would have been easy but this was a learning exercise.
Full version has the three settings options in menu as per 1.4 but uses directory tree entry as v1.5.
Version 1.4
Added the 3 options to set them as reported in the information window.
Keyboard
Country
Locale
Added Psync as a menu item.
Version 1.3
Works regardless of rc.local state.
Incorporates the firewallgtk ON/OFF routine as a menu option.
Leaving v1.2 in case anyone doesn't want firewall on/off option.
Version 1.2
Rework, loop routine. Doesn't vanish after a few minutes.
Icons in menu.
Bugfix: If removed from tray and then clicked on menu it didn't append to Startup, although it ran.
These added to right click `Information`.
Network IP address
Added your own External IP address
Keyboard set
Language in use
Time Zone in use
Luci specific version removed
