Hello Linux Geeksters. jNetMap is an open-source tool for network monitoring. It pings the devices in the network and displays the status. This software allows you to keep the network under surveilance. jNetMap has some nice features, like emailing the user or executing scripts when some device comes back online, on the network.
In this article I will show you how to install jNetMap on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, Linux Mint 15 Olivia, Linux Mint 14 Nadia and Linux Mint 13 Maya.
jNetMap is available in the GetDeb repository, so installing it on Ubuntu and Linux Mint is easy. All you have to do is:
$ wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install jnetmap
