Murder is a method of using Bittorrent to distribute files to a large amount
of servers within a production environment. This allows for scaleable and
fast deploys in environments of hundreds to tens of thousands of servers
where centralized distribution systems wouldn't otherwise function.
Shellany captures command output.
Features:
- Portability (should work on recent JRuby versions).
- Capturing stdout, stderr in a convenient way.
- Returning the result in a convenient way.
- Detecting if a shell is needed (though incomplete/primitive implementation).
- Prevents running the same command multiple times.
Auto-admin is a set of tools for automating common systems management tasks
from the command line. It is meant as a library of scripts to be used by
more specific automated systems management scripts. It is also intended to
serve as a compatibility layer to ease management of multiple POSIX platforms.
Scalpel is a fast file carver that reads a database of header and footer
definitions and extracts matching files or data fragments from a set of
image files or raw device files.
Scalpel is filesystem-independent and will carve files from
FATx, NTFS, ext2/3, HFS+, or raw partitions.
It is useful for both digital forensics investigation and file recovery.
Snowlog is a program that lets you browse your web server's access log files.
It does not generate static HTML status reports but instead shows you all
accesses in a list that you can filter, sort and search easily. It's a
console application and supposed to run on the server via ssh.
Filters that accept regular expressions can be applied.
The syslinux program installs a Linux bootloader on a FAT-formatted
filesystem or disk image.
This FreeBSD port can additionally operate on plain files containing
a FAT image, thus requiring no special privilege. The program relies
on mtools to perform the manipulation of the FAT filesystem.
The TAI64N format is a format for time stamps in log files, invented by Dan
Bernstein and used by some of his software, most notably the multilog component
of daemontools. That package comes with a program (tai64nlocal) to convert those
time stamps to a human-readable date.
Usermin is a web interface that can be used by any user on a Unix
system to easily perform tasks like reading mail, setting up SSH
or configuring mail forwarding. It can be thought of as a simplified
version of Webmin designed for use by normal users rather than
system administrators.
xosview is a monitor which displays the status of several system
parameters. These include CPU usage, load average, memory, swap space,
network usage and more. Each resource is displayed as a horizontal bar
which is separated into color coded regions showing how much of the
resource is being put to a particular use.
Uptimed is an uptime record daemon keeping track of the highest uptimes
a computer system ever had. It uses the system boot time to keep sessions
apart from each other. Uptimed comes with a console front-end to parse
the records, which can also easily be used to show your records on a web page.
