By 2012, Pandora FMS team, with a keen eye, noticed the irruption of Android® in computing and we surely know that today the number of mobile phones with this operating system far exceeds the rest of devices. Since the birth of GNU/Linux® its natural niche has been the server sector, especially web servers. The surprising thing is that even today we continue to use this work scheme, and even more so in terms of monitoring. The command line or terminal window was the one we used for almost everything and when operating systems with a graphical interface arrived, this resource was relegated to communicating network computers, given its low cost in terms of data transmission and its powerful use (for example, with a single command you may shut down or restart a computer, and many other things). Each program managed the best it could, making calls directly to the hardware, which was expensive and primal and in turn did not allow for more powerful operating systems. Age aside, we didn’t even have a graphical environment on our computers, as we know them today. Linus Torvalds had not even begun to study at the University of Helsinki, Finland. Before GNU/Linux®įor those of you who visit us for the first time (welcome all) I will tell you that, when I started hitting the keyboard keys, Mr. What if it deserves its own article? Read and judge for yourselves. In this blog, we have been reviewing this useful program for several years, and even the great Pandora FMS team has confirmed it just now in 2020, in the list of network commands for Microsoft Windows® and GNU/Linux®. It was developed in 1997!, by Simon Tatham, a British programmer. PuTTY is a free program (MIT license) for x86 and AMD 64 architectures (now in experimental stages for ARM).
