Nuxi CloudABI is an application binary interface for UNIX-like operating systems built around the concept of capability-based security. In a nutshell, it means that you can run processes directly on top of a UNIX kernel while keeping complete control over the actions the process is allowed to perform. This package installs utilities that are useful when running CloudABI processes. The cloudabi-run utility can run CloudABI processes, providing it the resources (sockets and files) that it requires.

snap is a tool for the management of UFS2 snapshots created by mount(8). It can maintain hourly, daily and weekly snap- shots while trying to minimize the disk space occupied. The snapshots created are labeled with their creation time, and users can create them manually. The major advantage over sysutils/freebsd-snapshot is that it uses hardlink to save diskspace, mark each snapshot with its creation time and calculates redundancy in a smart way.

The program Socket implements access to TCP sockets from shell level. First written for the need to open a server socket and read and write to the socket interactively for testing purposes, it quickly evolved into a generic tool providing the socket interface for shell script and interactive use. Please send any comments, suggestions, bug reports etc. to me: Juergen Nickelsen <jn@berlin.snafu.de>

This is the port of scanbuttond, an utility to monitor the various buttons found on many modern scanners which are intended to trigger certain actions like copying, faxing or mailing the scanned document. This daemon queries the scanner button state several times per second via libusb and if it detects that a button is pressed it runs a shell script with the button number as an argument. The supported scanner backends currently are: epson, niash, plustek, snapscan

Modern hard drives allow to set the amount of time a hard disk is allowed to spend recovering from a read or write error. This feature is called ERC (error recovery control, usually in Seagate), TLER (time-limited error recovery, usually on Western Digital) or CCLT (command completion time limit, usually on Samsung or Hitachi). This rc.d script allows to set these valus on system startup to tune disks for RAID usage.

shim is a trivial EFI application that, when run, attempts to open and execute another application. It will initially attempt to do this via the standard EFI LoadImage() and StartImage() calls. If these fail (because secure boot is enabled and the binary is not signed with an appropriate key, for instance) it will then validate the binary against a built-in certificate. If this succeeds and if the binary or signing key are not blacklisted then shim will relocate and execute the binary.

KDiskFree displays the available file devices (hard drive partitions, floppy and CD/DVD drives, etc.) along with information on their capacity, free space, type and mount point. It also allows you to mount and unmount drives and view them in a file manager. KDiskFree is similar to the Systemsettings Partitions module, but takes up less screen space. It is useful if you want to keep a KDiskFree window available at all times.

'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. -Andreas Fehlner fehlner@gmx.de

Zetaback ZFS backup and recovery management system. Zetaback is a thin-agent based ZFS backup tool. It is designed to: * run from a central host * scan clients for new ZFS filesystems * manage varying desired backup intervals (per host) for o full backups o incremental backups * maintain varying retention policies (per host) * summarize existing backups * restore any host:fs backup at any point in time to any target host https://labs.omniti.com/trac/zetaback

The bibutils program set interconverts between various bibliography formats using a common MODS-format XML intermediate. For example, one can convert RIS-format files to Bibtex by doing two transformations: RIS->MODS->Bibtex. By using a common intermediate for N formats, only 2N programs are required and not N^2-N. These programs operate on the command line and are styled after standard UNIX-like filters.
