Beats is the platform for building lightweight, open source data shippers for many types of operational data you want to enrich with Logstash, search and analyze in Elasticsearch, and visualize in Kibana. Whether you're interested in log files, infrastructure metrics, network packets, or any other type of data, Beats serves as the foundation for keeping a beat on your data. Packetbeat is the open source data shipper that integrates with Elasticsearch and Kibana to provide real-time analytics for web, database, and other network protocols.

GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more machines. A job is typically a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, or a list of tables. If you use xargs today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running jobs in parallel. If you use ppss or pexec you will find GNU Parallel will often make the command easier to read. GNU Parallel also makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs.

QSynergy is a comprehensive and easy to use graphical front end for Synergy. Synergy lets a user control more than one computer with a single mouse and keyboard (and has lots and lots of extra features on top of that). Synergy itself only comes with a GUI for MS Windows. QSynergy was written to fill the gap for users on Mac and Unix platforms. Of course, it runs on MS Windows as well.

Pfstat is a small utility that collects packet filter (security/pf) statistics and produces graphs like mrtg or alike. Samples can be found at the website below.

This tool removes blocks of 0x00 from files by replacing them with phantomblocks. That way, a file uses less diskspace while its contents hasn't changed at all! BEWARE: after copying these files with tar, cp, cpio or any other tool, the phantomblocks have been replaced with 0x00-blocks again! EXAMPLE: find / -type f -print | xargs -n 1 phantom -r -i This would go trough the whole harddisk, scan all files and generate 0x00-blocks where necessary.

plconfig is an experimental commandline tool for configuring HomePlug (Ethernet over AC) powerline bridges powered by the Intellon INT5130 chipset. Again, this tool is considered "between an ugly hack and simple use-once-and-throw-away" quality by the program's author.

PolicyKit is a framework for defining policy for system-wide components and for desktop pieces to configure it. PolicyKit-gnome is a GTK+/GNOME frontend for that framework.

read-edid is a pair of tools (originally by John Fremlin) for reading the EDID from a monitor. It should work with most monitors made since 1996, assuming the video card supports the standard read commands (most do). Two tools are provided: get-edid, which gets the raw EDID information from the monitor, and parse-edid, which turns the raw binary information into a xorg.conf-compatible monitor section (or xrandr-compatible modelines).

PolicyKit is a framework for defining policy for system-wide components and for desktop pieces to configure it. It is used by HAL.
