Usbutils contains the lsusb utility for displaying information about
USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.
The stalepid utility was developed to facilitate the startup of servers
that write their process ID to a file and refuse to start if that file
exists (e.g. when the process was last terminated by an unclean shutdown,
or simply killed without given the chance to clean up the process ID
file). The stalepid utility is used to check for and possibly remove
those stale process ID files. Upon its invocation, stalepid checks for
the following conditions:
- the file specified by the pidfile argument exists;
- it contains a single line, and the line contains a single number;
- there is no process with the process ID specified in the file, or if
there is one, it is not named processname.
If all those conditions are met, the stalepid utility will remove the
file specified by the pidfile argument, thus allowing the next invocation
of the server to proceed normally.
sysgather is a simple command-line utility for keeping configuration files
under version control.
timelimit executes a command and terminates the spawned process after a given
time with a given signal. A 'warning' signal is sent first, then, after a
timeout, a 'kill' signal, similar to the way init(8) operates on shutdown.
PEAR Log framework provides an abstracted logging system.
It supports logging to console, file, syslog, SQL, Sqlite, mail and
mcal targets. It also provides a subject - observer mechanism.
task spooler is a Unix batch system where the tasks spooled run one
after the other. Each user in each system has his own job queue. The
tasks are run in the correct context (that of enqueue) from any
shell/process, and its output/results can be easily watched. It is
very useful when you know that your commands depend on a lot of RAM,
a lot of disk use, give a lot of output, or for whatever reason it's
better not to run them at the same time.
vcp copies files and directories in a curses interface,
and behaves much like cp.
zfs-stats displays ZFS statistics in human-readable format including
ARC, L2ARC, zfetch (DMU) and vdev cache statistics.
This script is a fork of sysutils/zfs-stats which has no dependency on perl or
other ports.
Libisoburn is a front-end for libraries libburn and libisofs of
the libburnia project.
Xorriso copies file objects from POSIX compliant filesystems into
Rock Ridge enhanced ISO 9660 filesystems and allows session-wise
manipulation of such filesystems. It can load the management
information of existing ISO images and it writes the session results
to optical media or to filesystem objects. Vice versa xorriso is
able to restore file objects from ISO 9660 filesystems.
ebook-tools provides tools for accessing and converting
various ebook file formats.
