resize-java-iKVM-viewer: find all supermicro Java iKVM Viewer windows and resize them to display all the content
#!/bin/bash
# find all supermicro Java iKVM Viewer windows and resize
# them to display all the content
#
# for reasons that are beyond sanity, this shitty closed source program
# sets the min and max window sizes to the same values, making it unresizable
# through dragging.
# this wouldn't be so bad if it actually resized the window to display all
# the content. it constantly resizes based on the resolution of the
# remote display.
#
# bind this program to a hot key or create a panel icon or something
# to invoke when the iKVM viewer is the wrong size. it will loop
# over all iKVM windows and set their size based on the reported
# resolution

This script is great. Thank you for your work!

Sigh. Thank you so much! I too was beginning to tear out the little hair that's left. It's a shame this is even needed, but it think it represents the overall software quality at Supermicro. For example their Java SOL Viewer prints the user password to the console in clear text. m)
