For those who want to see what IP address and port that sshd is listening to on the device, I modified the startup script to pop up a dialog showing that information. For this to work, you have to download and install the tool used for generating the pop up from here:
http://www3.telus.net/rkomar/sh_ivtool/. It should be copied to the
system/bin/ folder, so that it matches the location given in the script. Get the attached zip file as well, and unzip it in the
applications/ folder to overwrite the current version of the sshd startup script.
I didn't do anything about displaying the status of the program. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I don't want to see something constantly being displayed while the program is running. It's also not something that I think I can easily do.
If this looks to be popular, I'll update the package in the first post with this new script.
