minirsyslogd is a minimalistic, fast and secure (through lack of bloat)
remote-only syslog receiver suitable for hardened log receiver hosts
and/or central log receivers that receive several gigabyte of logs each day.
It will not deal with local syslog data. It does not have a multitude
of configuration, alerting or scripting options. It will however
automatically split inbound syslog data according to IP address,
date and current hour, and do so as rapidly and (I hope) securely as
possible.

Battray is a python program that displays a tray icon to inform you of the
battery status of your notebook.
It is also able to take certain actions depending on battery status.
It's simple, easy, fairly environment-independent, and "just works" without
tons of (Gnome|KDE|..) dependencies.
This is a collection of the Unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago,
when Unix was young.
Currently it consists of these tools:
- chronic: runs a command quietly unless it fails
- combine: combine the lines in two files using boolean operations
- errno: look up errno names and descriptions
- ifdata: get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output
- ifne: run a command if the standard input is not empty
- isutf8: check if a file or standard input is utf-8
- lckdo: execute a program with a lock held (deprecated)
- mispipe: pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
- parallel: run multiple jobs at once
- pee: tee standard input to pipes
- sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file
- ts: timestamp standard input
- vidir: edit a directory in your text editor
- vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe
- zrun: automatically uncompress arguments to command
Note that parallel and ts utilities are installed with "moreutils-" prefix.
NVClock is a small utility that allows users to overclock NVidia based
video cards running on *nix platforms. The original code used in building
this application was borrowed from the nvcs application. That code has
been extensively reworked in order to make the utility much more user
friendly and to make it play nice with current distributions and drivers.
Oak is a program that can be used to monitor syslogs from a collection
of servers and notify operators when problem conditions arise. In
addition to providing immediate notification of critical problems oak
will also batch less critical problems into summary messages that can
be sent less often and via any medium. For example you may wish to
have oak page you on critical events while sending a summary of less
important messages to your terminal once an hour. In addition you
could send a daily email message summarizing all events.
odo is an atomic odometer for the command line
OpenUPSd is a UPS daemon, pretty specific to those Belkin
serial-connected UPS's that speak the "regulator pro smart protocol".
This daemon is monitoring only, at the moment anyway.
A script to dynamically configure amd(8) and populate /media with appropriate
symlinks, when storage devices appear.
It can also apply geli(8) keys from portable media to images and devices,
most is a pager (like less) that displays, one windowful at a time,
the contents of a file on a terminal. It pauses after each windowful
and prints the following on the window status line: the screen, the
file name, current line number, and the percentage of the file so far
displayed.
In addition to displaying ordinary text files, most can also display
binary files as well as files with arbitrary ascii characters. As an
option, autosensing of binary files can be disabled (via the -k
option), thereby allowing one to browse files encoded in a different
language (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc).
