A set of classes to do different actions with the console (also called shell). It can render a progress bar, tables and a status bar and contains a class for parsing command line options.

nload is a console application which monitors network traffic and bandwidth usage in real time. It visualizes the in- and outgoing traffic using two graphs and provides additionally info like total amount of transfered data and min/max network usage.

MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition of what is important and what not. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch' and such.

YASR ("Yet Another Screen Reader") is an attempt at a lightweight, portable screen reader. It works by opening a shell in a pty and intercepting all user input/output, maintaining a window of what should be on the screen by looking at the codes and text sent to the screen. It thus uses no Linuxisms such as /dev/vcsa0 and does not necessarily need to be setuid root (the only requirement being that the user be able to access the tts device).

mp3blaster is an interactive text-based mp3player. One of the unique features of this player is the ability to divide a playlist into groups (albums). Therefore, the play order can be adjusted with great flexibility.

vile is a text editor which is extremely compatible with vi in terms of "finger feel". in addition, it has extended capabilities in many areas, notably: multi-file editing and viewing key rebinding (in addition to :map, :map!, and :abbr) mouse support (in an xterm, or when built as xvile) infinite undo many additional operator commands selection highlighting rectangular operations "next error" cursor positioning after compilation full function- and arrow-key support filename, command, internal mode and variable completion auxiliary utilities for man page and C program syntax highlighting built-in macro language portability to all UNIX platforms, VMS, DOS, Win32, OS/2

dialog4ports -- a dialog for FreeBSD ports

transcode is a text-console utility for video stream processing, running on a platform that supports shared libraries and threads. Decoding and encoding is done by loading modules that are responsible for feeding transcode with raw video/audio streams (import modules) and encoding the frames (export modules). It supports elementary video and audio frame transformations, including de-interlacing or fast resizing of video frames and loading of external filters. A number of modules are included to enable import of DVDs on-the-fly, MPEG elementary (ES) or program streams (VOB), MPEG video, Digital Video (DV), YUV4MPEG streams, NuppelVideo file format and raw or compressed (pass-through) video frames and export modules for writing DivX;-), OpenDivX, DivX 4.xx or uncompressed AVI files with MPEG, AC3 (pass-through) or PCM audio. Additional export modules to write single frames (PPM) or YUV4MPEG streams are available, as well as an interface import module to the avifile library. Its modular concept is intended to provide flexibility and easy user extensibility to include other video/audio codecs or file types.

Term::Menus allows you to create powerful Terminal, Console and CMD environment menus. Any perl script used in a Terminal, Console or CMD environment can now include a menu facility that includes sub-menus, forward and backward navigation, single or multiple selection capabilities, dynamic item creation and customized banners. All this power is simple to implement with a straight forward and very intuitive configuration hash structure that mirrors the actual menu architecture needed by the application. A separate configuration file is optional. Term::Menus is cross platform compatible.
