This is chutney. It doesn't do much so far. It isn't ready for prime-time. If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces. It is supposed to be a good tool for: - Configuring a testing tor network - Launching and monitoring a testing tor network - Running tests on a testing tor network Right now it only sorta does the first two. You will need, at the moment: Tor installed somewhere in your path. Python 2.5 or later Stuff to try: ./chutney configure networks/basic ./chutney start networks/basic ./chutney status networks/basic ./chutney hup networks/basic ./chutney stop networks/basic The configuration files: networks/basic holds the configuration for the network you're configuring above. It refers to some torrc template files in torrc_templates/. The working files: chutney sticks its working files, including all data directories, log files, etc, in ./net/. Each tor instance gets a subdirectory of net/nodes.
