Android software for the system administrator on the move [closed]
My company has over service through Verizon, and AT&T Service in the area is "shoddy" at its best, so I haven't been able to join the "iPhone party" like so many of my fellow system administrators have been able to.
That being said, this week finally a phone I like has hit Verizon, the HTC Incredible. (I've been waiting for the Desire or Nexus One, but after seeing spec sheets and reviews, HTC Incredible comes out ahead anyway).
So (finally) I'm looking for Android Apps that are "gotta-haves" for system administrators.
I've found the bottom three. If there are others you prefer over these let me know.
RDP Program - RemoteRDP
SSH Client - ConnectBot
Nagios - NagMonDroid
Reply with your favorite Android App and why!
Solution 1:
Wi-Fi analyzer for debugging Wi-Fi coverage
proxoid to tether the phone to something of the more useful size
Non system administration specific but generally useful:
- k-9 Mail
- Dolphin Browser
- OI notepad + OI Safe to keep encrypted notes
- BeamReader to read PDF files
Solution 2:
This is my list of must have android apps for sysadmins:
- connectbot SSH client
- beem XMPP (Jabber) client
- PocketCloud RDP/VNC Client
- Linux & Unix Commands
- Zabbix on the go (Client for Zabbix Monitoring Solution)
- nagroid (Nagios Client)
- FBReaderJ (e-book reader)
- Net Tools (handle ping, check port 80, dns / IP lookup, HTTP header download, netstat)
