The file renaming utilities consists of five programs designed to make renaming
of files faster and less cumbersome:
- qmv ("quick move") allows a bunch of file names to be edited in a text editor;
- imv ("interactive move") allows a single file name to be edited in the
terminal using the GNU Readline library
- qcp and icp are similar to qmv and imv but copy files instead of moving them;
- deurlname removes URL encoded characters (such as %20 representing space) from
file names.
REOBack (pronounced as ray-o-back), is a backup solution designed for
Linux or FreeBSD users/system admins. It supports scheduled full/incremental
backups, remote transfers via NFS or FTP as well as auto-deletion of old
backups.
reptyr is a utility for taking an existing running program and
attaching it to a new terminal. Started a long-running process over
ssh, but have to leave and don't want to interrupt it? Just start
a screen, use reptyr to grab it, and then kill the ssh session and
head on home.
Restic is a program that does backups right and was designed to be easy, fast
verifiable, secure and efficient.
Rfstool is an mtools-like utility which lets you read from Reiser
file systems.
The home page has instructions on its usage.
Riak CS is an object storage system built on top of Riak. It facilitates
storing large objects in Riak and presents an S3-compatible interface. It also
provides multi-tenancy features such as user accounts, authentication, access
control mechanisms, and per account usage reporting.
Rinse is a simple tool which is designed to carry out the installation
of a new RPM-based distribution.
Using rinse you can easily setup simple chroot() systems running
different RPM-based distributions, such as Centos, Scientific Linux or
openSUSE.
The purpose and usage are analogous to the 'debootstrap' utility
familiar to users of Debian GNU/Linux. It was primarily designed to
work with the xen-tools software, which creates new guest images for
running inder the Xen hypervisor.
Rmonitor is a client-server application for monitoring a couple of (or even
more) remote hosts. It prints gathered system statistics on a standard
terminal display or within an xterm window; using one line for each host
monitored.
rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility based on rsync(1).
rsnapshot makes it easy to make periodic snapshots of local machines,
and remote machines over ssh. The code makes extensive use of hard links
whenever possible, to greatly reduce the disk space required.
It is written entirely in perl with no module dependencies, and has been
tested with versions 5.004 through 5.8.1.
Cfengine is an automated suite of programs for configuring and
maintaining Unix-like computers. It has been used on computing arrays
of between 1 and 20,000 computers since 1993 by a wide range of
organizations. Cfengine is supported by active research and was the
first autonomic, hands-free management system for Unix-like operating
systems. Cfengine is an autonomic maintenance system not merely a
change management roll-out tool. Cfengine has a history of security
and adaptability.
