Fanout and fanterm are two utilities that allow you to run commands on multiple machines. The difference is that fanout only runs non-interactive commands (like dd, cat, adduser, uname -a, etc.) and pipelines built of these. The output is collected into a single display that can be viewed by less or redirected to a file. Fanterm, on the other hand, allows you to run interactive text mode commands on multiple machines at the same time. Your keystrokes are sent to a shell or application running on each of the target systems. The output from each system is shown in a separate xterm.

Perl script to find fastest CVSup server: * uses socket connections not just 'pings' * takes notice of server responses * connects to servers in countries specified on the command line - or - connects to the 'local' servers defined in the script - or - connects to ALL the servers in ALL the countries * returns either fastest server or top 3 (useful for scripts) * returns exit codes (useful for scripts) * can re-write itself to update the CVSup server list, obtained from the online FreeBSD Handbook * can easily add other CVSup servers (NetBSD/OpenBSD...etc)

The fetchlog utility displays the last new messages of a logfile. It is similar like tail (1) but offers some extra functionality like pattern matching with regular expressions or output formatting. To show only the new messages appeared since the last call fetchlog uses a bookmark to remember which messages have been fetched. fetchlog works on syslog generated logfiles as well as other logfiles. fetchlog can be used standalone or as a Nagios (TM) plugin. Together with Net-SNMP one can look at/monitor new messages in remote logfiles. -Alexander Haderer alexander.haderer@loescap.de

File tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are three sets of tests, performed in the following order: - filesystem tests - magic number tests - language tests The first test that succeeds causes the file type to be printed.

Beats is the platform for building lightweight, open source data shippers for many types of operational data you want to enrich with Logstash, search and analyze in Elasticsearch, and visualize in Kibana. Whether you're interested in log files, infrastructure metrics, network packets, or any other type of data, Beats serves as the foundation for keeping a beat on your data. Filebeat is a lightweight, open source shipper for log file data. As the next-generation Logstash Forwarder, Filebeat tails logs and quickly sends this information to Logstash for further parsing and enrichment or to Elasticsearch for centralized storage and analysis.

Filedupe is a utility to assist in finding any duplicates as you accumulate files. It stores md5 hashes of all the files seen in a system wide database (/var/db/filedupe.db) so it can quickly spot any duplicates.
