Meerkat 1.2.2

Meerkat 1.2.2 is a perfect software that includes some outstanding features such as application triggers, automatic reconnection on system sleep & network change, Growl integration, Bonjour support, command-line and AppleScript integration, and much more.

Major Features:

1. Application Triggers
   • Tunnels can be associated with trigger applications.
   • Tunnels come up when their trigger apps do, so dependent apps have everything they need at the ready.
2. Automatic Reconnect
   • Meerkat will automatically detect system sleep, wake, and network events and reactivate your tunnels for you.
   • Your tunnels will be right where you left them, ready for use.
3. Tunnel Setup Assistant
   • Local, remote, dynamic -- not quite sure which type of tunnel you need.
   • Meerkat's Tunnel Setup Assistant can walk you through entering the details to get the job done.
4. Bonjour Support
   • Tunnels can advertise their presence on the local LAN with Bonjour.
   • Web browsers, iTunes, VNC clients, and FTP clients all speak Bonjour and can auto-detect tunneled services.
5. Command-Line Tools
   • Moving to Meerkat doesn't mean giving up your command-line tools.
   • Meerkat has a shell utility that can activate and deactivate tunnels and supports AppleScript osascript calls, too.
6. Session Launching
   • Meerkat can be used to quickly launch SSH sessions to all of your accounts.
   • It even includes support for system-wide keystrokes mapped to these accounts.
7. AppleScript Support
   • Meerkat is fully scriptable.
   • You can query the accounts and tunnels that have been setup, as well as activate and deactivate tunnels from AppleScript.
8. A key player
   • Meerkat can either store SSH passwords in the system keychain or use the public key authentication built in to SSH to manage your tunneled accounts. Either way, you hold the key, securely.
     
9. Growl, but don't bite
   • Meerkat notifies you of tunnel activations and deactivations via Growl, so whether by application trigger, Meerkat startup, or manually, you always know what's going on with your services.
10. Play with the big cats
    1. Meerkat is fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, and 10.6 Snow Leopard. Mwrrrow!
11. What's on the menu
    • Meerkat's status bar and dock menus give you full access to your tunnels. What's more, Meerkat can be run without a dock item for a very low paw, err, footprint.
12. Right from the start
    • You can set tunnels to automatically start when Meerkat does for hassle-free port forwarding whenever you need it.
