@WangYihang
Is Platypus still being developed.

[WangYihang]

@zero77 Yes, it will, I have been busy these days, so the development will be delayed. If you are willing to help to develop, feel free to create pull requests.

And, the feature you mentioned, that can be implemented by Switching meta command.
Every single client has a field Interacting which indicate the server should send hacker input to the client or not.

>> List
2019/01/22 15:57:11 Listing 1 servers
[a4c0705d05da83e09af1e15ada602af1] 0.0.0.0:4444 (1 online clients) (started at: 18 seconds ago)
	[79809a986dd1c6e38850002f4eb52deb] tcp://127.0.0.1:46536 (connected at: 4 seconds ago) [false]

the last field [false] means hacker input will not be dispatched to this client
so if you want to send single command to all of the clients, all you need to do is make the client Switched On and use DataDispatcher to send the command to all clients which is Switched On.

Thanks for your reply, i hope i did not sound pushy.
But, i was wondering if Platypus has stopped being developed, due to the lack of bugs and recent activity.

Also, i will have a look at what you suggested but, i have never used go before.

[WangYihang]

Platypus will not stop developing. I need to prepare my postgraduate entrance exam in 2019, so I may not develop it this year, and I will continue to develop after the exam is over.

[zero77]

I need to prepare my postgraduate entrance exam in 2019

Yes, i appreciate how time consuming and difficult that can be, good luck.
When i have had time to learn enuf go i will attempt some of the to do list.

@zero77 Cool, feel free to create pull requests~ 😄

Hey, I have some questions. The List command's output‘s last field is Interactive field：

>> List
[79809a986dd1c6e38850002f4eb52deb] tcp://127.0.0.1:46536 (connected at: 2 minutes ago) [false]



fmt.Sprintf("[%s] %s://%s (connected at: %s) [%t]", c.Hash, addr.Network(), addr.String(), humanize.Time(c.TimeStamp), c.Interactive)

Should it be the Group instead of Interactive?
In codes, the Interactive field only means if the node is in interactive mode, it's set to true at the beginning of the Interactive command then be set back to false to false at the end, so I can never see the field is false in List command's output
And the Switching set client.Group = !client.Group, the group field means whether dispath command to this client.
If it's a typo? And I think the filed name Group is not clear enough

[WangYihang]

Yes! You are right! It is a typo I think, I'll fix it next week, thank you for reporting. 😄 @EddieIvan01

[WangYihang]

This issue will be closed since the original problem is solved.
