Zsh is the Swiss Army knife of shells. It combines the most popular
features of every other shell, and then lets you customize every
inch of it. Users of bourne-style and C-style shells will feel at
home in it.
Zsh does intelligent completion, spell-checking, has a rich syntax
for precise globbing, and is fully extensible through plugin
systems.
To fire up the zsh completion system, type the following commands:
$ autoload -U compinstall
$ compinstall
The aird daemon handles Apple IR receiver button events. If your system
has an USB Apple IR receiver, most likely you'll also have an Apple
Remote. An Apple remote has six (6) buttons: Volume up, Volume down,
Play/Pause, Forward, Backward and Menu. For each button you can assign a
command to execute.
Apple IR receiver modules are found on:
o MacBook (any generation)
o MacBook Pro (any generation)
o Intel iMac
o Intel MacMini
PEFS is a kernel level stacked cryptographic filesystem for FreeBSD.
Key features:
* Transparently runs on top of existing file systems
* Random per file tweak value for encryption
* Stores metadata only in encrypted file name
* Arbitrary number of keys per file system, mixing keys in same
directory and key chains
* Modern cryptographic algorithms: AES and Camellia in XTS mode,
PKCS#5v2 and HKDF for key generation.
cdrkit is a suite of programs for recording CDs and DVDs, blanking CD-RW media,
creating ISO-9660 filesystem images, extracting audio CD data, and more. The
programs included in the cdrkit package were originally derived from several
sources, most notably mkisofs by Eric Youngdale and others, cdda2wav by Heiko
Eissfeldt, and cdrecord by Joerg Schilling. However, cdrkit is not affiliated
with any of these authors; it is now an independent project.
Simple command-line pseudo terminal manager:
allows to run coprocesses talking to each other thru their tty and/or pty.
Most useful to drive from scripts programs that want a tty, as in
cotty -d -- pppd silent 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2 \
-- ssh -t root@remote pppd
This particular use has been obsoleted under Linux
(but probably not under the various free BSDs and proprietary Unices),
as it can be done without cotty with
pppd pty 'ssh -t root@remote pppd' silent 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2
KShutDown is an advanced shutdown utility for KDE.
Features:
o Turn Off Computer (logout and halt the system)
o Restart Computer (logout and reboot the system)
o Lock Screen (lock the screen using a screen saver)
o End Current Session (end the current KDE session and logout the user)
o Extras (additional, external user commands)
o Time and delay options
o Command line and DCOP support
o System tray icon and panel applet
o Visual and sound notifications
o KDE Kiosk support
mhddfs - Multi HDD [FUSE] File System
File system for unifying several mount points into one
This FUSE-based file system allows mount points (or directories) to be
combined, simulating a single big volume which can merge several hard
drives or remote file systems. It is like unionfs, but can choose the
drive with the most free space to create new files on, and can move
data transparently between drives.
This is a daemon the uses the LM78/79, WINBond 83781/83782/83783/83626
or the ASUS 99127 hardware monitor chips to warn the operator when
something is out of range. The software is capable of monitoring up
to 3 temperatures, 3 fan speeds and 7 voltages. The configuration file
specifies which functions are active and their acceptable ranges.
With the healthdc companion program the status can be read from any
networked computer. The healthd daemon's network connection is protected
by libwrap and /etc/hosts.allow.
Quoting IPMItool homepage:
"IPMItool is a utility for managing and configuring devices that
support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version
1.5 and version 2.0 specifications. IPMI is an open standard for
monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and control of hardware that
is implemented independent of the main CPU, BIOS, and OS."
FreeBSD has OpenIPMI-compatible ipmi(4) driver for in-band IPMI
operations in the base system starting from 6.2 release. On older
systems sysutils/ipmi-kmod port is available.
Jailrc is an improved startup/shutdown script for FreeBSD jails.
It contains the following changes to the original /etc/rc.d/jail script:
- parameters support: you can specify any parameters supported by jail(8)
- ZFS support: you can deletate ZFS datasets to jails
- jails are not identified by a file in /var/spool/jail anymore
- two new commands "create" and "remove" to manage persistent jails
Please refer to the README file for more information.
