This is a package of utilities. Each utility sends a Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) Serial Management Protocol (SMP) request to an SMP target.
If the request fails then the error is decoded. If the request succeeds
then the response is either decoded, printed out in hexadecimal or
output in binary.
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.
socklog in cooperation with the runit package is a small and secure replacement
for syslogd. There are three main features, syslogd provides:
- receiving syslog messages from an Unix domain socket (/dev/log) or UDP socket
(0.0.0.0:514) and writing them to various files on disk depending on facility
and priority.
- writing received syslog messages to an UDP socket (a.b.c.d:514)
socklog provides these features with the help of runit's runsvdir,
runsv, and svlogd, provides a different network logging concept, and
additionally does log event notification.
svlogd has a built in log file rotation based on file size, so there is no
need for any cron jobs or similar to rotate the logs. Log partitions can be
calculated properly.
Spinner is a small program that displays a little "spinning" ASCII
character in the top left corner of your terminal. To make this effect
it cycles through punctuation marks like this " - \ | / - \ | / ... "
(try it to see). By default the character is drawn in inverse video
(or your terminal's equivalent). But you can turn this off with the -i
switch. It supports any terminal capable of handling VT100 style escape codes.
Spinner is useful for keeping telnet and ssh links from dropping due to
inactivity. Many firewalls, and some ISPs drop connections when they are
perceived as idle. By having spinner running the server is constantly
sending a tiny amount of data over the link, preserving the connection.
Thus (for search engines) Spinner is an anti-dle, timeout preventing,
background daemon process for Unix variants including Linux.

Spiped (pronounced "ess-pipe-dee") is a utility for creating symmetrically
encrypted and authenticated pipes between socket addresses, so that one may
connect to one address (e.g., a UNIX socket on localhost) and transparently
have a connection established to another address (e.g., a UNIX socket on a
different system). This is similar to 'ssh -L' functionality, but does not
use SSH and requires a pre-shared symmetric key.
Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is
intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e.
in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block
device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
needed. The filesystem is currently stable, and has been tested on
PowerPC, i586, Sparc and ARM architectures.
squashfs-tools are the set of tools to manipulate squashfs images.
fuse-zip is a FUSE file system to navigate, extract, create and modify ZIP
archives based on libzip, implemented in C++. With fuse-zip, you can work
with ZIP archives as real directories. Unlike KIO or Gnome VFS, it can be
be used in any application without modifications.
Simple setsid replacement, nothing special about it
except it being really simple.
A dockapp monitors your APM battery status.
WMBlueCPU is a CPU monitoring dockapp. It displays current CPU usage
with numbers and a graphical history list.
