Attempts to recover a hard disk that has bad blocks on it.
WARNING: A hard disk with bad blocks on is likely to fail! If you value
your data you should get a new hard disk instead of using this program!
However, if you can't afford a new hard disk, or just like being reckless
with your data then this tool might just help you out!
This is a daemon the uses the LM78/79, WINBond 83781/83782/83783/83626
or the ASUS 99127 hardware monitor chips to warn the operator when
something is out of range. The software is capable of monitoring up
to 3 temperatures, 3 fan speeds and 7 voltages. The configuration file
specifies which functions are active and their acceptable ranges.
With the healthdc companion program the status can be read from any
networked computer. The healthd daemon's network connection is protected
by libwrap and /etc/hosts.allow.
GPT fdisk (aka gdisk) by Roderick W. Smith, rodsmith@rodsbooks.com
This software is intended as a (somewhat) fdisk-workalike program for
GPT-partitioned disks. Specific advantages of gdisk, cgdisk and
sgdisk include:
* Edit GUID partition table (GPT) definitions in Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X,
or Windows
* Convert MBR to GPT or back without data loss
* Convert BSD disklabels to GPT without data loss
* Create hybrid MBR, which permits GPT-unaware
OSes to access up to three GPT partitions on the disk
* Repair damaged GPT data structures
* The ability to specify sector-exact partition sizes
* Clear identification of the number of unallocated sectors on a disk

Fcron is a scheduler. It aims at replacing Vixie Cron, so it
implements most of its functionalities. But contrary to Vixie Cron,
fcron does not need your system to be up 7 days a week, 24 hours a
day : it also works well with systems which are not running neither
all the time nor regularly (contrary to anacrontab). To do so, fcron
allows you to use the standard mode in which you tell it to execute
one command at a given date and hour and to make it run a command
according to its time of execution, which is normally the same as
system up time.
This is the stable release.
reversible hexdump is a hexdump/hex2bin-toolkit that dumps to a special
readable and reversible hexadecimal byte-dump,where you can not only change
bytes, but also insert or delete bytes. It has a flush-switch, where it will
output hexbytes for each single char it reads. This is especially useful for
watching output from slow devices (e.g., serial devices like mice). The
hex2bin-utility (the reverse-hexdump) not only accepts hexbytes for input,
but also double-quoted strings with most of the escape-chars known
from C and makes good attempts at undumping even hexdumps with repetition-lines
(a "*" on its own line). It's written in ANSI C.
HFSExplorer is an application that can read Mac-formatted hard disks and disk
images. It can read the file systems HFS (Mac OS Standard), HFS+ (Mac OS
Extended) and HFSX (Mac OS Extended with case sensitive file names).
HFSExplorer allows you to browse your Mac volumes with a graphical file system
browser, extract files (copy to hard disk), view detailed information about the
volume and create disk images from the volume.
HFSExplorer can also read most .dmg disk images created on a Mac, including zlib
/ bzip2 compressed images and AES-128 encrypted images. It supports the
partition schemes Master Boot Record, GUID Partition Table and Apple Partition
Map natively.
HFS is the "Hierarchical File System" used on modern Macintosh computers.
With this package, you can read and write Macintosh-formatted media such as
floppy disks, CD-ROMs, and SCSI hard disks on most Unix platforms. You can
also format raw media or file into an HFS volume.
This package contains a number of different tools:
- Several command-line programs (hmount, hls, hcopy, et al.)
- Tk-based front-end for browsing and copying files through a
variety of transfer modes (MacBinary, BinHex, text, etc.)
- Tcl package and interface for scriptable access to volumes
- C library for low-level access to volumes
Support for Apple's new Extended Format (HFS+) is currently not available.

hidesvn uses LD_PRELOAD to change readdir() and readdir_r() to hide .svn
entries from directories. This is useful when using tools like find(1)
and grep(1) to search through large source trees, like the FreeBSD SVN
repository.
This is a port of hourglass, a synthetic real-time application that
can be used to learn how CPU scheduling in a general-purpose operating
system works at microsecond and millisecond granularities.
- It creates very detailed map of when each Hourglass thread has
access to the CPU
- It supports multiple thread execution models; e.g. periodic and
CPU-bound
- It acts as an abstraction layer for threading, timing, and CPU
scheduling functionality on Unix- and Win32-based systems
