Aida/Scribo Console

In the way of make Aida/Scribo a bit more user friendly to a non smalltalker user, Janko asked on the Aida list by the development of a little operation console.

I taken the job and developed a Morphic console to operate the basic aspects detaileds on Janko's mail.

The current version of the console permits:

• Start the whole Swazoo Web Server
• Stop the whole Swazoo Web Server
• Start/Stop individual Aida/Scribo sites

To have the console working on your image, you can download it from its repository and make the following changes on SwazooServer class:

• Add the instance method #isServing (under the category testing) with the following content:

^self servers notEmpty

• Add the instance method #watchdogOther empty (on the category private-watchdog)

The console has two different interfaces (another way to show the power of Smalltalk) as you can see on the following pics:

To show it, evaluates: ScriboConsole basicView.





To show it, evaluates:
ScriboConsole fullView.


Enjoy it!
