Contractor is an extension service that allows applications to use the
exposed functionnality of registered apps. This way, applications don't have
to have the functions hard coded into them.
mdcp (Muli-Device Copy) is a command-line utility for *nix that provide
to copy from a disk device to many. The data transfer rate is improved
by making use of a much more efficient use of the transfer rate of the disks.
Metalog is a modern replacement for syslogd and klogd. The logged messages can
be dispatched according to their facility, urgency, program name and/or
Perl-compatible regular expressions.
Log files can be automatically rotated when they exceed a certain size or age.
External shell scripts (ex: mail) can be launched when specific patterns are
found.
Metalog is easier to configure than syslogd and syslog-ng, accepts unlimited
number of rules and has (switchable) memory bufferisation for maximal
performance.
This is a port of mtxorbd, a control daemon for the Matrix Orbital LCD Screens.
The asmem tool is an AfterStep look-n-feel memory utilization monitor
for X Window System. asmem shows the levels of utilization of the
various kinds of memory and swap space. Multiple options for
customization are available (colors, appearance, other stuff).
An SNMP based command line network printer management tool.
Modern network printers are quite easily managable across a network.
However, until now, the only tools that make use of these capabilities
are the vendor supplied products such as Web JetAdmin by HP, Marknet by
Lexmark, Centreview by Xerox or PhaserLink by Tektronix. The problem is
that all of these tools are fundamentally GUI based applications and
there is no way to incorporate their functionality into scripts. This
program is designed to be called from scripts to find things out about
printers.
Information you can gather about printers with npadmin:
Model and vendor, Location and contact information,
Network configuration, Memory and disk usage, Max and min papersize,
Engine speed, Duplexer installed, Printer status, Printer languages,
Marker technology, Page count, Minimum margins,
Size, capacity and level of paper trays, Toner levels, Alert conditions,
Resolution, Display information, Cover pages on/off.
Cdrdao records audio or data CD-R[W]s in disc-at-once (DAO) mode based on
textual description of the CD contents (toc-file).
Among others, cdrdao can handle the bin/cue format commonly used for VCDs
or disks with subchannel data.
AVFS is a system, which enables all programs to look inside gzip, tar,
zip, etc. files or view remote (ftp, http, dav, etc.) files, without
recompiling the programs.
Shared library and FUSE daemon are provided.
AVFS is (C) under the GNU GPL. The shared library supporting AVFS with
LD_PRELOAD is (C) under the GNU LGPL.
BackupPC::XS implements various BackupPC functions in a perl-callable module.
This module is required for BackupPC V4+.
BackupPC is a fast, enterprise-grade backup system. It provides
a web-based user interface. It supports several platforms (Unix-like,
Windows, MacOSX) to backup to a disk-based storage.
No client-side software is necessary, as the BackupPC server uses
several protocols (smb, rsync, tar and ftp) native to the client OS.
File-level deduplication combined with optional compression minimizes
the disk space needed to store the backups and disk I/O and enables
synthetic backups to reduce network traffic.
BackupPC is not a block-level backup system but performs file-based
backup and restore. Thus it is not suitable for backup of disk
images or raw disk partitions.
BackupPC supports laptop environments with clients on dynamic
IP addresses (DHCP) not always connected to the network.
