Shell Commands :-
reporter - shows the ethernet & wlan card settings, will also show if you have a gateway connection, clients connected or other mesh nodes in range. Can be prefixed with 'watch ' to get a continuously updating report.
ifconfig - shows the interface configuration, the same as the ethernet/wlan section of 'reporter'
iwconfig - shows the wireless interface configuration - many options available - more information at http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/manpages/iwconfig.html
iwlist - useful stats from wireless interface - more info at: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/manpages/iwlist.html
distread - used before a 'remotemanagement' this cleans up some things. Careful! Its is roughly the same as 'factoryreset' Seems to kill the dhcpd.leases file (?)
factoryreset - puts meshbox back to original factory state. Will require you to get a new certificate again from wiana and get the wiana settings again.
remotemanagement - use this to get the Mesh node to connect to Wiana and get the latest settings. The Mesh node should do this automatically every 30mins, but sometimes you just don't want to wait :-)
getandverify - use: 'getandverify tobuild23' etc to download the latest mesh software and patches. 'getandverify test' can be used to check the link to Wiana
checkforupdates - checks at wiana.org for the latest released software version. If you're up- to-date it will report your current version.
cat /proc/aodv/... - in here you can find files with current details of the meshing and aodv operation.
cat /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases (?) - tells you which DHCP leases have been given out to clients and when they expire.
ssh - us SSH to remote control another machine or node
ping - check the tcp/ip connection between machines
shutdown or reboot or poweroff - self explainatory?
cwradius : use to test user authentication from Radius server. Usage: cwradius username password
mii-tool - allows interrogation of status of ethernet module, and allows you to specify settings or to reset the ethernet
sigspy - gives signal strength and noise for wireless connections (client and MeshAP
cd /hj detectmode - forces the node to autodetect modes
cat /proc/net/hostap/wlan0/ap - see what other AP's node can see.
