EWControl

This small graphical user interface attaches itself to earthworm and allows you to control the modules from a GUI. It can be used to stop, restart, and reconfigure EW. It has the ability to automatically refresh as well as manual refresh at the press of a button.

Installation

1. This module requires the lastes version of a 32 Bit QT (https://www.qt.io/download/) to be availible. If you wish to compile it, use the "-xplatform linux-g++-32" flag when configuring QT.
2. After running the enviorment/ew_params.bash
3. cd into the /src
4. qmake
5. make
6. make install

That should be all that is required. Alternatively a statically compiled version is provided, just move the ewcontrol to the /bin folder.

Use

1. Add the MOD_GUISTATUS to the modules in earthworm.d
2. run ewcontrol
3. Go to the system menu and hit connect ( 30s after a succesfull conection it should show the status, alternatively you can manually refresh)
4. Activate Auto Update if desired.

To do:

1. Maybe add the ability to change configuration files.
2. Sense changes in configuration files and auto restart the proccesses.
3. Add other statistics.
