Jonas just switched me on to Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager – a simple GNOME app that stores a list of SSH tunnels you want and can automatically start and stop them.
Totally useful for those who travel (hrrm.. fair few MySQLers there) and/or always have SSH tunnels to places (hrrm… MySQLers there too).
There’s a debian package up there (and you can build one easily) but it’s not yet in the Ubuntu archive… maybe for the next release. But works fine on edgy for me!
and on Fedora Core 6 it is in extras – so to install
yum -y install gstm
Quite little tool. For your information I can tell it is available in feisty/universe.
An other nice thing with Feisty is that KVM is included. Currently I’m build MySQL 5.1.16 beta in a CentOS guest.
