AIRPORT-LINKMON(1) General Commands Manual AIRPORT-LINKMON(1)

NAME

airport-linkmon - Wireless link quality monitor for the original Apple AirPort Base Station ("Graphite") and the Lucent RG-1000 base station

SYNOPSIS

airport-linkmon

DESCRIPTION

airport-linkmon allows you to measure the signal strength and noise on the wireless links between your base station and its associated wireless hosts.

OPTIONS

airport-linkmon accepts no command-line options. airport-linkmon is a wrapper script around the LinkMonitor.jar jar file located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils.

You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG environment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

DEBUG
Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

JAVACMD
The full path to the Java Virtual Machine to use. By default, the wrapper uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can be configured using 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 is located.

JAVA_ARGS
Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine.
