Wcd is a command-line program to change directory fast. It saves time typing
at the keyboard. One needs to type only a part of a directory name and wcd
will jump to it. Wcd has a fast selection method in case of multiple matches
and allows aliasing and banning of directories. Wcd also includes a full
screen interactive directory tree browser with speed search.
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.
The du2ps reads output of du(1), then generates a figure of
hierarchical structure and utilization of each directory.
The du2ps is a similar program to xdu, but it produces result as
a PostScript file.
The default paper is ISO A4, but you can select Letter or ISO A3/B4/B5.
You can also specify font name, font size, number of columns and other
options.
Metalog is a modern replacement for syslogd and klogd. The logged messages can
be dispatched according to their facility, urgency, program name and/or
Perl-compatible regular expressions.
Log files can be automatically rotated when they exceed a certain size or age.
External shell scripts (ex: mail) can be launched when specific patterns are
found.
Metalog is easier to configure than syslogd and syslog-ng, accepts unlimited
number of rules and has (switchable) memory bufferisation for maximal
performance.
The file renaming utilities consists of five programs designed to make renaming
of files faster and less cumbersome:
- qmv ("quick move") allows a bunch of file names to be edited in a text editor;
- imv ("interactive move") allows a single file name to be edited in the
terminal using the GNU Readline library
- qcp and icp are similar to qmv and imv but copy files instead of moving them;
- deurlname removes URL encoded characters (such as %20 representing space) from
file names.
`setcdboot' is used on the DEC Alpha platform to mark a file bootable
within an Alpha ISO-9660 image bootable. First create an ISO-9660 image
using `mkisofs', and then run
setcdboot <name_of_iso_image> <boot_path_within_image>
Once a bootable file image has been marked with `setcdboot', burn the image
to CDROM media in the usual manner. To boot the resulting CDROM, simply
specify the CDROM device as the boot device and the Alpha will boot as if
from hard disk.
'userneu' is a Perl script that parses a list of usernames and additional
information (such as the real name or other information to be put in the
GECOS field in /etc/passwd) and creates Unix accounts and (if desired)
Samba accounts as well. If the script stumbles upon duplicate user names
it can append random characters to the username until it fits.

ua is a simple command-line tool that finds sets of identical files.
The name ua is derived from the Hungarian word ugyanaz meaning the same.
The development of ua was motivated by the disturbingly often recurring
event of waiting too long for a shell script using sorts, md5sums, diffs
and the like to finish finding identical files. While there are many tools
out there, we needed a tool that can ignore white spaces and runs quite fast.

Whowatch is an interactive who-like program that displays information about the
users currently logged on to the machine. In addition to standard information
(login name, tty, host, user's process), the type of the connection (telnet or
ssh) is shown. You can toggle display between the users' commands or idle times.
You can watch the process tree, navigate in it, and send INT and KILL signals.
