This library allows you to manage schedule which has structure similar
to crontab(5) format. It offers methods to detect clash between
schedules (with or without duration considered), and can also tell when,
and how often they clash.
From the viewpoint of data structure, one major difference compared to
crontab(5) is a concept of duration. Each schedule has its own duration,
and clash detection can be done upon that.

The Pipe Magic Tools (PMT) are a small collection of filters which
can be added to UNIX pipes. The filters include:
speed
Measures the speed of the data flowing through the pipe
throttle
Controls the speed of the data flowing through the pipe
rot13
The famous rot13 algorithm
rot47
The not-so-famous rot47 algorithm
tolower
Converts all alphabetic characters to lower case
toupper
Converts all alphabetic characters to upper case
Stat::lsMode generates mode and permission strings that look like
the ones generated by the Unix ls -l command. For example, a
regular file that is readable by everyone and writable only by its
owner has the mode string -rw-r--r--. Stat::lsMode will either
examine the file and produce the right mode string for you, or you
can pass it the mode that you get back from Perl's stat call.
bsdconfig is a robust utility for configuring/managing various aspects of the
FreeBSD Operating System. Feature-highlights include (but are not limited to):
- Modular, stable, efficient and i18n-compatible.
- Easily maintained/extendable sh(1) source/syntax.
- Works with both dialog(1) in base and Xdialog(1) from ports (x11/xdialog).
- Package management module loosely based on sysinstall but much improved.
- rc.conf(5) configuration/management based on sysutils/sysrc.
- Timezone configuration based on sysutils/tzdialog.
- Networking management based on sysutils/host-setup.
nagiosplugin is a class library which helps writing Nagios (or
Icinga) compatible plugins easily in Python. It cares for much of the
boilerplate code and default logic commonly found in Nagios checks,
including:
* Nagios 3 Plugin API compliant parameters and output formatting
* Controller to handle the general plugin control flow
* Full Nagios range syntax support
* Automatic threshold checking
* Multiple independend measures and overall state logic
* Long output and performance data
* Timeout handling
* Default options
* Persistent "cookies" to retain state information between check runs
Backup is a RubyGem, written for Linux and Mac OSX, that allows you to easily
perform backup operations on both your remote, as well as your local
environment. It provides you with an elegant DSL in Ruby for modeling
(configuring) your backups. Backup has built-in support for various databases,
storage protocols/services, syncers, compressors, encryptors and notifiers which
you can mix and match. It was built with modularity, extensibility and
simplicity in mind.
Chef is a systems integration framework, built to bring the benefits of
configuration management to your entire infrastructure. With Chef, you can:
* Manage your servers by writing code, not by running commands.
* Integrate tightly with your applications, databases, LDAP directories, and
more.
* Easily configure applications that require knowledge about your entire
infrastructure ("What systems are running my application?" "What is the
current master database server?")
Duplicity backs directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes and
uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity uses
librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only record the
parts of files that have changed since the last backup. Because duplicity
uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from
spying and/or modification by the server.
stowES (stow Enhancement Script) is a Perl script which tries to ease the
use of the "stow" packaging program and software which can be compiled
and installed with autoconf. It automates the compilation and installation
of software packages by calling tar, configure, make, and stow with the
appropriate arguments. Furthermore it helps maintaining your installed
software by creating library dependencies and checksums, and providing
various search functions. It is also possible to create tar-archives out
of your installed packages.
Tarsnap is an online encrypted backup service. It presents a tar-like
command-line interface, but stores data online rather than locally;
using ideas taken from the author's FreeBSD Update and Portsnap
utilities, it maximizes performance by recognizing duplicate data and
only storing it once, and cryptographically encrypts and signs archives
using locally-held keys in order to guarantee that nobody without access
to the key file (including the author) can read or modify archives.
