Server Density Agent for FreeBSD
Monitor CPU, memory, disk usage, network, Apache, MySQL + more via the
ServerDensity platform.
Count traffic from users with dynamic ip addresses. Uses information from
application level (Samba, pppd, etc.) to operate on network level (modify
ipfw or another firewall rules for traffic counting).
The sdparm utility accesses SCSI device parameters. When the SCSI device
is a disk, sdparm's role is similar to its namesake: the Linux hdparm
utility which is primarily designed for ATA disks that had device names
starting with "hd". More generally sdparm can be used to access parameters
on any device that uses a SCSI command set. Apart from SCSI disks, such
devices include CD/DVD drives (irrespective of transport), SCSI and ATAPI
tape drives and SCSI enclosures. A small set of commands associated with
starting and stopping the media, loading and unloading removable media
and some other housekeeping functions can also be sent with this utility.
Powerful text searches on Unix using regular expressions for both the
file name, and the search text. Graphical equivalent of find + grep.
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment,
task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.
`setcdboot' is used on the DEC Alpha platform to mark a file bootable
within an Alpha ISO-9660 image bootable. First create an ISO-9660 image
using `mkisofs', and then run
setcdboot <name_of_iso_image> <boot_path_within_image>
Once a bootable file image has been marked with `setcdboot', burn the image
to CDROM media in the usual manner. To boot the resulting CDROM, simply
specify the CDROM device as the boot device and the Alpha will boot as if
from hard disk.
A more useful set of tools for using file system quotas. Set and
get quota information for users and groups.
The sg3_utils package contains utilities that send SCSI commands to devices.
As well as devices on transports traditionally associated with SCSI (e.g.
Fibre Channel (FCP), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and the SCSI Parallel
Interface(SPI)) many other devices use SCSI command sets. Its
functions are similar to camcontrol(8), but more powerful. For example,
it can use SCSI Environmental Services not using FreeBSD ses(4),
read SCSI device logs, and much more.
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.
The historical, and still very useful process-locking program. Use to
make sure that your shell script is the only version of itself running
on your system. There are many other creative ways to use this program.
