UHC Tools
UHC Tools is a collection of scripts and utilities written by me and patrik over the past decade or so. We decided to make a package of everything when we realised it was hard work to keep all our Amigas (physical and emulated) up to date with all our utilities. There are a few scripts and utilities which might be of benefit to others so now we thought the time was right to share this with anyone interested!
A complete list of everything that is included can be found here. The most noteworthy utilites are the following: aget - A http-download-utilitity, similiar to wget or curl but very fast and simple to use. SynergyClient - A Synergy Client, allows you to control your Amigas mouse and Keyboard from a computer running a Synergy server Search-scripts - A collection of scripts to allow for easy searching, downloading and extraction of files from various repositories such as Aminet, whdLoad.de, whdownload.com and more. UHC Tools works on AmigaOS 3.x, MorphOS, AmigaOS4 and AROS and even detects what you're running and downloads binaries compiled for the correct OS. Not everything works on AROS due to their ARexx implementation. Last edited by jayminer; 06 June 2018 at 21:46. |

I'm running this since a few months. Makes my A600 a lot more self-supporting.

Cool stuff, thanks for sharing. Especially the synergy client is something I've dreamed about, thanks for doing the port. :-)

@Jope:
The synergy client is implemented from scratch and is rather simple (in a good way) and small. |

There has been a few updates to this package over the last few weeks. The biggest update is probably improved clipboard-sharing in the synergy-client. We have also added a few more search-indexers so now it's possible to search MorphOS Storage, it's also possible to check recent files from all the pages we archive directly from the Shell. Also, quite a lot of minor bugfixes.
So to the few of you who are using this, I'd recommend you run uhcupdate from a shell to fetch and install the latest version! |

Ooh, a Synergy client sounds very nice indeed - I need to try that out since it would be very useful for me to save precious real estate on my (physical) desktop. Also being used to having apt/*pkg available on various Linux and BSD platforms, the other tools could also be a big time saver, so thanks for it all.

some very cool stuff here - would you be willing to open source the synergy client? It seems like of all of the things here, the one that will most need to be kept up to date, and that may be easier if there is source for willing people to help with

This sounds like something similar to VNC. If this is the case, then Synergy's server component would be what was installed on the Amiga, not the Client component. The Client would run on the remote machine that was connecting to and controlling the Amiga. Am I missing something here? |

The idea is that you control serveral computers with one set of mouse and keyboard. In synergy terminology, the computer which have the mouse and keyboard connected is the server. Then a number of clients can connect to the server and be controlled by it.
The result is more like a multi-monitor setup, but with different computers to the different monitors. |

Synergy is really magical once you have it all set up. :-) Very handy.

I had never heard of Synergy, sounds super handy.
If I had a NIC on my Amiga I'd be all over this! |

To simplify installation somewhat, we have created an installation archive which includes everything required to start the installation (except a working internet connection on the Amiga ). The installation can also be launched from Workbench:

Just tried installing this but the installation script did not work out of the box.
After running the simplified installation script it complained that aget was not found on the system so it was unable to continue. I then copied the aget.os3 file to C: and renamed it to aget. Now I got a requester to insert volume 'aget >NIL'. I then downloaded the file manually using the same aget tool, commented out the line that executed the aget command in the script, and then I was able to complete the install.. |

@demolition:
Which kickstart/os versions? Any relevant modifications like non-standard shell? |
