The AdaSockets library allows the use of BSD sockets from within an Ada
program. It is limited to IP version 4 sockets (TCP, UDP, multicast).
It is released under the GNAT Modified General Public License, which
means AdaSockets can be freely used in proprietary applications without
affecting their licenses.
The urelay tool is a simple connection forwarder which may work with
many different protocols - TCP, Unix sockets, IPX - in general, anything
that has a client or a server supporting Prof. Daniel J. Bernstein's UCSPI
framework - http://cr.yp.to/ucspi.html
CSP is a Perl class and script for running multiple CAs. OpenSSL is used
for all operations. CSP can also generate a small CA website used to
distribute certificates and CRLs.
"cronolog" is a simple program that reads log messages from its input
and writes them to a set of output files, the names of which are
constructed using template and the current date and time.
"cronolog" is intended to be used in conjunction with a Web server, such
as Apache to split the access log into daily or monthly logs. E.g.:
TransferLog "|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/access.log"
ErrorLog "|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/errors.log"
would instruct Apache to pipe its access and error log messages into
separate copies of cronolog, which would create new log files each day
in a directory hierarchy structured by date, i.e. on 31 December 1996
messages would be written to:
/www/logs/1996/12/31/access.log
/www/logs/1996/12/31/errors.log
After midnight the following files would be used:
/www/logs/1997/01/01/access.log
/www/logs/1997/01/01/errors.log
pslist is a simple command-line utility for viewing and sending signals
to a whole process tree.
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).
Last File Manager - lfm - is a simple 'midnight commander'-type file
manager. It includes a simple file viewer, pyview. Lfm is a curses-based
application for the UNIX console.
unquote executes a command after unquoting a specified list of arguments,
so that arbitrary characters may be passed in command-line arguments.
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.
