To a large extent it depend on how we plan to use this. If the phones are just MAs in a fixed location then 1 is easier and probably sufficient.  ifthei si  If this is intended to grow into a mobile application for general use then it needs to be 2.

We agreed that Sara Masood at UUM should continue pursuing using the standard pinger2.pl version running under the perl interpreterwhile interpreter while Amity will try and put together an a native android version.

We also briefly discussed how to get the data from the phone MA to the archive. The current method ping_data.pl requires a public IP address for the phone which mnay not exist if its is mobile. Getting the MA to put the data to te the archive may raise some security issue for the archivearchiver.  We did ot come to a conclusion

...

  • Sara Masood - pingER  monitoring host on android . 
    • She is using perl-android-apk Interpreter to run perl on android. It includes execution of 3 perl scripts:
      • getdata.pl, ping_data.pl, pinger2.pl

    • First step is to install pre-requisite i.e. lynx, perl, XML::Simple, make etc. However, she was having permission denied issue when she executes "make install” command at path usr/local/bin because it’s a read only file system.

      • Perl-android-interpreter application was depreciated so install perl package using GNURoot Debian Application

      •  "Make install" issue is resolved too it create directorys and files required by pinger2 in usr/local/share/pinger

      •  But now when i  execute pinger2.pl <http://pinger2.pl/>  (that will ping host and start getting data) using IP address its generating two errors image is attached. IP address is also updated in pinger.xml

        • First error is," cannot exec DnsV4Cmd.pl, file not found", but DnsV4Cmd.pl  is in PingER directory with execute permission.

        • Second error, "SrcIP could not be determined for DNS 203.124.57.137. Without the results produced by PINGER2 is not usable.".
        • Les suspects the second error is result of the 1st error. maybe using the perl -d debugger would assist.

    • Step 2 Is to execute ping _data and cgi-bin, traceroute.pl <http://traceroute.pl/> 

    • Step 3: To execute pinger2.pl <http://pinger2.pl/>  that will start gathering data

  • Saqib will proceed to install Pinger in UAF Pakistan 6/22/2016.There used to be an MA at UAF Les will send the information to Saqib. it is below:

2.     For the M.Sc. student in UTM we have to request again to Prof Hanan and Prof Asri and we need support from Prof Johari.

Given there is a working MYREN host at UTM, we wll give up on this.
