slack is an evolution from the usual "put files in some central directory"
that is fairly common practice. It's descended from an earlier system its
author also wrote, called "subsets", and uses a multi-stage rsync to fix
some of the problems he had there.
Basically, it's a glorified wrapper around rsync.
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.
currtime is an enhanced command-line operated real time clock. Features include:
* Time displayed in Unix-compatible format
* Shows the current time on the same line
* Can run for a specified number of ticks (seconds) with the -T (ticks) flag
* Option to display each tick on a new line with the -n flag
This is a network-based backup system based of rync. It can do full and
incremental backups to a remote file server. It relies on rsync for the
host to host copy and uses hard links to provide multiple snapshots of the
data without duplicating identical files.
DSBBatmon is a GTK+ battery monitor for FreeBSD. It displays the battery's
current status, capacity, and remaining time. It warns the user if the battery
capacity is low, and can automatically shut down the system if a critical
capacity is reached.
etcmerge is a tool for keeping /etc up to date when updating,
or for management after installworld (instead of mergemester).
The primary difference from mergemaster, is that etcmerge
requires much less manual work than mergemaster, due to the
use of a three way merge.
GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from
sysutils/smartmontools port), which is a tool for querying and
controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you to
inspect the drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well
as run various tests on it.
Filelight allows you to quickly understand exactly where your
diskspace is being used by graphically representing your file system
as a set of concentric segmented-rings. You can use it to locate
hotspots of disk usage and then manipulate those areas using a file
manager.
The Intel(R) QSFP+ Configuration Utility is a command line utility that allows
users to change the link type of the installed QSFP+ module. The supported
types are defined within the adapter's NVM. This utility displays only the
devices that potentially support QSFP+ reconfiguration. Only one port per
device is displayed, since changes affect the device as a whole, not individual
ports.
angel is a daemon that runs and monitors other processes. It is similar
to djb's `daemontools` or the Ruby project `god`. It's goals are to keep
a set of services running, and to facilitate the easy configuration and
restart of those services.
