NAME
Net::OpenSSH::More::Linux - Useful subcommands for linux machines
VERSION
version 1.00
DESCRIPTION
This module contains useful methods to complement the parent's when in use on all linux environments.
NAME
Net::OpenSSH::More::Linux
ASSUMPTIONS
This module assumes that both the local and remote machine are some variant of GNU/Linux. Don't use this if that's not the case.
METHODS
get_primary_adapter
So, on linux, there's no "primary" adapter, just the "correct" adapter for whatever given route. As such, what's the best way to determine this?
This is a method to guess the "best" device interface from /proc/net/route. How does it determine this? By the "metric" stat -- the lower the better, as the lower the cost, the higher the preference. If you have set the metric improperly, you'll get bad results, but that's nothing to do with the code here.
Optionally accepts a truthy arg to indicate whether you want this for the local host instead of the remote host.
get_remote_ips
Returns HASH of the IPv4 & IPv6 SLAAC addresses of an optionally provided interface. If no interfaces is provided, use the default interface.
CAVEATS: This uses the 'ip' tool, so if your system is too old for this, perhaps consider writing your own getter for local IPs.
get_local_ips
Returns HASH of the IPv4 & IPv6 SLAAC addresses of an optionally provided interface. If no interfaces is provided, use the default interface. This one fetches it from the local machine and not the remote host, as sometimes that can be useful (say in the context of a test where you need this info). Same caveats that exist for get_remote_ips apply here.
copy
Effectively the same thing as `cp $SOURCE $DEST` on the remote server.
