✨ AIRPORT-HOSTMON(1) — the Gen Z manual 🎀

💖 NAME

Okay so bestie, airport-hostmon is a host monitor 👀 for the original Apple AirPort Base Station ("Graphite"), the Lucent RG-1000 base station, and the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station. It's giving retro networking queen energy 👑🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS

airport-hostmon

💅 DESCRIPTION

Ngl this one is so simple it's iconic. airport-hostmon lets you keep an eye on all the wireless hosts that are connected to your base station 📡✨ main character energy for your Wi-Fi.

🎀 OPTIONS

Literally zero command-line options, no cap 💀. airport-hostmon is a wrapper script around the HostMonitor.jar jar file, which lives in /usr/share/java/airport-utils 🧚

Lowkey important vibes: you can set the JAVACMD environment variable if you want to pick a specific JVM instead of the one the wrapper script would choose 🫶. And if you want the debug output from the wrapper script, set DEBUG to 1 🙈

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

  • DEBUG — Set this to 1 and boom, you get the debug output from the wrapper script 🔍
  • JAVACMD — The full path to the Java Virtual Machine you want to use 🖥️. By default the wrapper uses JAVACMD. If it isn't set, it checks JAVA_BINDIR/java, then JAVA_HOME/bin/java, before going looking for a java executable in the PATH. In that last case, the JVM that gets used can be configured with the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)) 💜
  • JAVA_HOME — The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed 🏠
  • JAVA_BINDIR — The full path to the directory where the java executable lives 📂
  • JAVA_ARGS — Extra command-line arguments that get passed along to the Java Virtual Machine 🍓
