Flasher monitors changes to one or more files, and indicates the
number of writes to these files by briefly flashing a console LED
once for each write. The flashing sequence is repeated, after a
brief pause, until the files have been read. As the files are
subsequently read, the number of LED flashes is reduced. When all
monitored files have been read, the console LED will be disabled.
The most obvious use is to monitor specific system log or mail files.
Multiple LEDs can be used. Each possible LED (-c, -n or -s) takes
a list of colon-separated file arguments. For example, when invoked
as:
# ./flasher -s /var/log/messages:/var/mail/root
the Scroll Lock LED will flash once for each write made to either
of these files, until the files are read. When /var/log/messages
has been read, the Scroll Lock LED will continue to flash once for
each write that has been made to /var/mail/root, until it also has
been read.
The list of files can include files that don't yet exist.
ApacheTop was written to display realtime status of access logs
gcombust is a GTK+ frontend for mkisofs and cdrecord.
At this moment every release of gcombust isn't always very well tested; it
would probably be wise to test it with the -dummy option at first to check that
I haven't made any stupid errors. Also, it prints the command it's executing to
stdout so you can look at it and maybe spot errors.
I love to receive feedback/comments/ideas/bugreports at:
jmunsin@iki.fi (jmunsin@abo.fi)
NOTE: If you decide to do a NLS translation of gcombust, it might be a good
idea to mail me about it to make sure no one else is doing one for the
same language.
gksu is a Gtk+ frontend to /bin/su. It supports login shells and preserving
environment when acting as a su frontend. It is useful to menu items or other
graphical programs that need to ask a user's password to run another program
as another user.
This is a GNOME program to manage devices and device drivers. It's
inspired by hal-device-manager, from the HAL project, but rewritten in
C for efficiency and an outlook to actually make it manage devices
rather than just show information.
abduco provides session management i.e., it allows programs to be run
independently from their controlling terminal. That is programs can be
detached - run in the background - and then later reattached. Together
with dvtm it provides a simpler and cleaner alternative to tmux or
screen.
abduco is in many ways very similar to dtach but is a completely
independent implementation which is actively maintained, contains no
legacy code, provides a few additional features, has a cleaner, more
robust implementation and is distributed under the ISC license.
GNU GRUB is a multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand
Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich
Stefan Boleyn.
This port builds the GRUB x86_64-efi boot modules, allowing grub-install
or grub-mkrescue to install with EFI support.
GNU GRUB is a multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand
Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich
Stefan Boleyn.
This port does not install GRUB on the master boot record of your hard drive.
To do this you will need to read the info page that is installed by the port.
This port includes additional patches and fixes making it work properly
with ZFS boot-environments. Users on UFS will probably want to install the
regular sysutils/grub2 port.
