Slurm is an open-source workload manager designed for *nix clusters
of all sizes. It provides three key functions. First it allocates
exclusive and/or non-exclusive access to resources (computer nodes)
to users for some duration of time so they can perform work. Second,
it provides a framework for starting, executing, and monitoring
work (typically a parallel job) on a set of allocated nodes. Finally,
it arbitrates contention for resources by managing a queue of
pending work.
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between
multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its
own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users
with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its
own display.
Replacement of the GNOME 3 control center for the Cinnamon User Interface
cinnamon settings daemon.
colorize is a perl script to add color to your logs (system logs, apache
logs, squid logs, and many other formats). colorize can also output a
colorized version of your logs as HTML.
libcpuid is a small C library for x86 CPU detection and feature extraction.
Using it, you can:
- Get the processor vendor, model, brand string, code name, etc.
- Get information about CPU features such as: number of cores or logical
CPUs, cache sizes, CPU clock, etc.
- Check if the processor implements a specific instruction set such as
SSE2 or 3DNow!
- Execute the CPUID and RDTSC instructions in a portable way
- And have this all in your commercial application, without getting into
trouble, due to permissive license
Reference utility (rather advanced and useful on its own) is also provided.
Battfink lets you configure energy saving options. It comes with an
associated battery notification icon.
Battmond is a small daemon monitoring the battery level on ACPI-enabled
(laptop) computers, by probing the ACPI device on regular intervals. It
can warn you (through syslog) when the battery level is running low, and
halt the system when it drops below a critical level threshold.
cw is a non-intrusive real-time ANSI color wrapper for common Unix-based
command.
cw is designed to simulate the environment of the commands being
executed, so that if a person types 'du', 'df', 'ping', etc. in their
shell it will automatically color the output in real-time according to
a definition file containing the color format desired. cw has support
for wildcard match coloring, tokenized coloring, headers/footers, case
scenario coloring, command line dependent definition coloring, and
includes over 50 pre-made definition files.
bbapm is an APM meter for Blackbox, designed to be a part of the
Blackbox Slit, although it will still function as a stand-alone
tool.
