The AccountsService project provides o A set of D-Bus interfaces for querying and manipulating user account information. o An implementation of these interfaces based on the usermod(8), useradd(8) and userdel(8) commands.

cmogstored is an alternative implementation of the "mogstored" storage component of MogileFS. cmogstored is implemented in C and does not use Perl at runtime. cmogstored is the only component you need to install on a MogileFS storage node.

'tbku' is a utility script for producing "tarball" backups of some- or all of your files. It is useful both for producing incremental backups or for systemwide images or "snapshots". The script can be run either from the command line or, more typically, as a cron job to automate system backup tasks. The central benefit of using 'tbku' over hand written tar commands is that 'tbku' is "table driven". You specify the set of files to back up in a table (a separate file). You can have as many of these "filesets" as you wish, corresponding to different kinds of backups you want done. 'tbku' will do backups automatically or manually, based on the name of the "fileset". This considerably simplifies automating backups, keeping backup logs, and generally maintaining an orderly backup environment. 'tbku' can also be used to capture system images which can then later be used to (re)provision other machines.

Usbhid-dump is a USB HID dumping utility based on libusb 1.0. It dumps USB HID device report descriptors and reports themselves as they are being sent, for all or specific device interfaces.

uschedule is not cron and uschedule is not at - it does offer similar functionality but is not intended to be a drop-in replacement. It works differently. It's designed to be different.

hfm is an application to run tests in parallel at a high frequency. If the outcome of the test results in a state change, other commands can be executed. It is designed to be a general purpose, loosely-coupled tool, by having both the tests and the state change commands be executed by the operating system. For example, one could write the test in shell or c, and have it called through the exec facility. In practice, the overhead of spawning a new process per test limits frequency that can be achieved by the tests, and their results. Anecdotally, 5ms intervals have been seen to be achievable. An example application is to poll other network services for health, and to take actions based on their health status changes.

vbetool is a small application that executes code from the BIOS of your video card. This is mostly useful for reinitialising the hardware, for instance after ACPI suspend/resuming.

zfs-stats displays ZFS statistics in human-readable format including ARC, L2ARC, zfetch (DMU) and vdev cache statistics. This script is a fork of sysutils/zfs-stats which has no dependency on perl or other ports.

zfsnap makes rolling ZFS snapshots easy and - with cron - automatic. The main advantages of zfsnap are its portability, simplicity, and performance. It is written purely in /bin/sh and does not require any additional software - other than a few core *nix utilies. zfsnap stores all the information it needs about a snapshot directly in its name; no database or special ZFS properties are needed. The information is stored in a way that is human readable, making it much easier for a sysadmin to manage and audit backup schedules. Snapshot names are in the format of pool/fs@[prefix]Timestamp--TimeToLive (e.g. pool/fs@weekly-2014-04-07_05.30.00--6m). The prefix is optional but can be quite useful for filtering, Timestamp is the date and time when the snapshot was created, and TimeToLive (TTL) is the amount of time the snapshot will be kept until it can be deleted.

docbook2X converts DocBook documents into man pages and Texinfo documents. It aims to support DocBook version 4.2, excepting the features that cannot be supported or are not useful in a man page or Texinfo document.
