rssh is a restricted shell for use with OpenSSH, allowing only scp and/or sftp. It now also includes support for rdist, rsync, and CVS. For example, if you have a server which you only want to allow users to copy files off of via scp, without providing shell access, you can use rssh to do that.

The btsixad daemon allows the PlayStation 3 Sixaxis gamepad to be used wirelessly over Bluetooth. When a gamepad is connected, the daemon cre- ates a virtual USB HID device named btsixa*. This can be symlinked to uhid* and used like an ordinary USB joystick or gamepad by SDL and other programs.

Afio makes cpio-format archives. It deals fairly gracefully with potential input data corruption. Supports multi-volume archives during interactive operation. Afio can make compressed archives that are much safer than compressed tar, or cpio archives. Afio has a tremendous number of options. Afio might be best used as an `archive engine' in a backup script.

Archivemount is a piece of glue code between libarchive (http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/libarchive/) and FUSE (http://fuse.sourceforge.net). It can be used to mount a (possibly compressed) archive (as in .tar.gz or .tar.bz2) and use it like an ordinary filesystem.

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.

Cronic is a small shim shell script for wrapping cron jobs so that cron only sends email when an error has occurred. Cronic defines an error as any non-trace error output or a non-zero result code. Cronic filters Bash execution traces (or anything matching PS4) from the error output, so jobs can be run with execution tracing to aid forensic debugging.

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.
