# jackfruit: an SSH client for the JackTrip Studio Raspberry Pi

jackfruit is an SSH client for the JackTrip Studio Raspberry Pi.

I am a parent volunteer for my children youth choir [Cantabile](https://cantabile.org/). As part of my interaction with our singers to help them with technical issues, there are occasions when I need to ask them to check on the status of the Raspberry Pi box (for example: checking a ping value from the box to the local gateway ...). I've found that asking our singers to

- install an SSH client,
- then login,
- then type various UNIX commands was a tall task and error prone.

This tool is my attempt to make that task simpler. You can think if jackfruit as a diagnostic tool that let you query your jacktrip device for information. 

You can download jackfruit from [https://github.com/hung-le/jackfruit/wiki#download](https://github.com/hung-le/jackfruit/wiki#download)

You can use jackfruit to 

- Get log files for the following processes 
    - jackd
    - jacktrip
    - jamulus

    - Test microphone: Record a 10 seconds clip using your microphone. No server/network.
    - Test playback: Playback the 10 seconds recording. No server/network.
    - List sound devices.
    - List PCMs.

    - Get network interface (IP number ...)
    - Routing: To verify current routing info. Useful for getting the local gateway IP.
    - Ping gateway: Ping from the box to local gateway.
    - Ping loopback test server: To ping the loopback test server. Note the IP might need to be adjusted.
    - Check TCP port 4464 of loopback test server
