When you Telnet your box or make a SSH connection shell to your Linux server, these commands are useful for you:

1. Show me who is online, which IP and which Gbox Version is running:
   

   cat /var/tmp/share.onl

2. Show me all Distance 1 cards:
   

   grep "dist:1" /var/tmp/share.info

3. Show me all Distance 1 cards and resolve the Provider ID:
   

   for i in `grep 'dist:1' /var/tmp/share.info | awk '{print $6}' | sort` ; do grep "^$i" /var/keys/ident.info ; done

4. remove the Windows carriage returns ^M on Textfiles:
   

   tr -s "\r" "\n" < winfile > unixfile

5. Showing the ident.info file in a nice way:
   First:

   And you will see the providers lije this example:
