About The Project

The Tanner Tools are a cross platform tool with the Tanner S-edit tools on the windows side and Mentor Simulator and verification tools hosted on the Linux side. A CAD design engineer needs a quick method to setup their enviroments with little need to consider aspects of the connection between the enviroments and configuration. To provide this smooth experiance for the user a script was devised.

This script aimed to dynamicaly set the users X11 display and launch xming with the correct display settings, dynamicaly obtains the vnc display number and configures putty profile to tunnel 590x from the remote machine to the local machine, and configures the ESXI tool.
