This module sends syslog messages over a network socket. It works like Sys::Syslog in setlogsock's 'udp', 'tcp', or 'unix' modes, but without the significant CPU overhead of that module when used for high-volume logging. Use of this specialized module is only recommended if 1) you must use network syslog as a messaging transport but 2) need to minimize the time spent in the logger.

PEAR::File_Fstab is an easy-to-use package which can read & write UNIX fstab files. It presents a pleasant object-oriented interface to the fstab. Features: * Supports blockdev, label, and UUID specification of mount device. * Extendable to parse non-standard fstab formats by defining a new Entry class for that format. * Easily examine and set mount options for an entry. * Stable, functional interface. * Fully documented with PHPDoc.

Zeitgeist is a service which logs the users's activities and events (files opened, websites visites, conversations hold with other people, etc.) and makes relevant information available to other applications. It is able to establish relationships between items based on similarity and usage patterns. libQZeitgeist is a wrapper library around the Zeitgeist D-Bus API for Qt, and is brought to you by Collabora in cooperation with the Zeitgeist team and KDE.

Logstalgia is a website traffic visualization that replays or streams web-server access logs as a pong-like battle between the web server and an never ending torrent of requests. Requests appear as colored balls which travel across the screen to arrive at the requested location. Successful requests are hit by the paddle while unsuccessful ones (eg. 404 - File Not Found) are missed and pass through.

rdup is an utility inspired by rsync and the Plan9 way of doing backups. rdup itself does not backup anything; it only prints a list of the names of files that have changed since the last backup. It also handles files that are removed, allowing for correct incremental backups. An example script named rdup-simple is included to show how to implement a simple snapshot-style backup strategy.

Nuxi CloudABI is an application binary interface for UNIX-like operating systems built around the concept of capability-based security. In a nutshell, it means that you can run processes directly on top of a UNIX kernel while keeping complete control over the actions the process is allowed to perform. This package installs utilities that are useful when running CloudABI processes. The cloudabi-run utility can run CloudABI processes, providing it the resources (sockets and files) that it requires.

snap is a tool for the management of UFS2 snapshots created by mount(8). It can maintain hourly, daily and weekly snap- shots while trying to minimize the disk space occupied. The snapshots created are labeled with their creation time, and users can create them manually. The major advantage over sysutils/freebsd-snapshot is that it uses hardlink to save diskspace, mark each snapshot with its creation time and calculates redundancy in a smart way.

The program Socket implements access to TCP sockets from shell level. First written for the need to open a server socket and read and write to the socket interactively for testing purposes, it quickly evolved into a generic tool providing the socket interface for shell script and interactive use. Please send any comments, suggestions, bug reports etc. to me: Juergen Nickelsen <jn@berlin.snafu.de>

This is the port of scanbuttond, an utility to monitor the various buttons found on many modern scanners which are intended to trigger certain actions like copying, faxing or mailing the scanned document. This daemon queries the scanner button state several times per second via libusb and if it detects that a button is pressed it runs a shell script with the button number as an argument. The supported scanner backends currently are: epson, niash, plustek, snapscan

Modern hard drives allow to set the amount of time a hard disk is allowed to spend recovering from a read or write error. This feature is called ERC (error recovery control, usually in Seagate), TLER (time-limited error recovery, usually on Western Digital) or CCLT (command completion time limit, usually on Samsung or Hitachi). This rc.d script allows to set these valus on system startup to tune disks for RAID usage.
