SuperSify: Alternative Sify Broadband Client

Thanks to Fred, the client did get tested remotely in the space of a couple of hours.

So, here it is - SuperSify version 0.52 😀

I have added the keypress switch; add -k to the command line to disable the keypress.

SuperSify now displays your account information on login.

See the website for further details.

P.S If anything goes wrong - it's Fred's fault. heheh. Just kidding, just kidding.
 
haha! The client is working all fine.
 
I was the first to vote for a console version but now I'm not so sure. Of course I use keyboard shortcuts and by pressing one button I log in with the command line client but a GUI with a graph of upload and download speeds would be nice because I'm sure Bittornado is not giving me an accurate reading. I don't really care about it taking up RAM I have plenty 🙂And thanks for the -k switch, boo to Sify for the delay 😛Also would anyone like a program which checks the time and if it is between 9pm and 9am, it logs you in (using SuperSify)? It could be put in the startup list so it runs automatically when you start your computer. I made it.It will only check the time and accordingly shut down or log you in and shut down silently. So it takes a little RAM for a few seconds.

I think we should wait for Bhaskar's client for these features. Let supersify remain lean.
 
Yeah, I agree with that, let this remain a lean n mean client which allows you to login and logout without fuss 🙂
 

Yeah command line keep it commandline . U can make up external gui though and give it with commandline suopersify for those who dont like commandline .
 
This isn't a client. It does not log in on its own. All it does is run the login.lnk file if the time is between 9pm and 9am. It needs Supersify to work.If you still think I should start a new topic where do you think I should start it? Since this isn't an alternative client persay....
 
Peeps,

I have a litte free time coming up, so I'll be taking a p@$$ at what could be the last pure console version of SuperSify, i.e. if I ever think about going GUI. For all you console freaks, don't worry - the console will remain throught SuperSify's life. Just that it would probably be bundled with a GUI ... again, if I have the time.


What I plan to do for version 0.6
1) Bug Fix in renewal message: If there is a renewal message in store for you, the Renewal: and URL: fields would be displayed; but without the message 🙁

2) Verbose mode: Dump all the data that sify sends you to screen.

3) Time based login: I'll incorporate Anands program above into SuperSify, that means SuperSify will attempt to login only if it is within the given time range. Please note that this is not a scheduler and SuperSify will terminate if it isn't within that range. Anand, I believe this is what your utility does, or is it a scheduler?

For people who like scheduling - wait for the next version.

4) Keep Alive: I really like the idea of how EasySify attempts to revive your dead connection. I'll implement that with a configurable delay.

5) I noticed that the mainstream windows client now tries to upgrade to version 2.6 😱. For one, I haven't manged to upgrade yet - It keeps saying "upgrade failed" and secondly - everything still works with SuperSify... but if there are any important changes in 2.6 do let me know and I'll try to put them in.

6) Proper handling of ctrl+c, windows close events etc.

Also, all you guys trying to learn (and already know) about the Sify network - would there be any use allowing you to specify the SAM server you login to, or the IP transmitted, etc. etc. any more flexability required anywhere?

For those of you who do keep the hearbeat running, I hope you are aware that the console is active and you can type in commands - I know the interface doesn't really make that apparent, but anyway only "quit" and "logout" are supported. Any more commands?

Bandwidth monitor is definitely not in this version.

Let me know if I've missed something or if there is something you would like upgraded from version 0.52.

Peace out,
IP.
 
ultra vires,

I'll put the sam thing in then - I'm curious - did it ever work for you? I was unable to login using another SAM server.

The central Sify server returns the SAM server and the Login URL separately - I'm @$$uming, rather, I'm sure the login page is located on the sam server, but sometimes I guess there could be a different directory structure, so I'll provide the option of specifying the entire login string, not just the SAM IP, it will be somthing like so,

Is that cool enough?
