plconfig is an experimental commandline tool for configuring HomePlug (Ethernet over AC) powerline bridges powered by the Intellon INT5130 chipset. Again, this tool is considered "between an ugly hack and simple use-once-and-throw-away" quality by the program's author.

prips is a tool that can be used to print all of the IP address on a given range. It can enhance the usability of tools that are made to work on only one host at a time (e.g. whois).

"pstack" is a workalike for the Solaris program of the same name. Running pstack on a process or core file produces a stack trace of each thread in that process. It's useful for finding out what wedged processes are up to, getting profiles of what applications, and just satisfying one's curiosity.

Ruby-quota is a ruby library to manipulate filesystem quotas.

Terminal mixer can start processes inside a pseudo-terminal, which can be accessed through a Unix socket, TCP or even raw ethernet (not yet ported to FreeBSD). The programs can be linked to the current terminal, or they can be unlinked like in nohup. But even in this latter case you can connect to them using the mentioned protocols. tm can also start programs as if they communicate through pipes instead of terminals, and this can be quite useful for remote-controlling applications. More than one client can connect to the served pseudo-terminal, either using tm as a client or telnet for TCP. You can choose if they are only allowed to read, or they can also contribute on input.

unquote executes a command after unquoting a specified list of arguments, so that arbitrary characters may be passed in command-line arguments.

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.
