bchunk is a Unix/C rewrite of the fine BinChunker software for some
non-Unix systems.
binchunker converts a CD image in a ".bin / .cue" format
(sometimes ".raw / .cue") to a set of .iso and .cdr tracks. The
bin/cue format is used by some non-Unix cd-writing software, but
is not supported on most other cd-writing programs.
The .iso track contains an ISO file system, which can be mounted
through a vn device on FreeBSD systems, or written on a CD-R
using cdrecord. The .cdr tracks are in the native CD audio format. (pcm)
They can be either written on a CD-R using cdrecord -audio, or
converted to WAV (or any other sound format for that matter)
using sox.
This utility will generate a common metadata repository from a directory of
rpm packages.
"cronolog" is a simple program that reads log messages from its input
and writes them to a set of output files, the names of which are
constructed using template and the current date and time.
"cronolog" is intended to be used in conjunction with a Web server, such
as Apache to split the access log into daily or monthly logs. E.g.:
TransferLog "|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/access.log"
ErrorLog "|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/errors.log"
would instruct Apache to pipe its access and error log messages into
separate copies of cronolog, which would create new log files each day
in a directory hierarchy structured by date, i.e. on 31 December 1996
messages would be written to:
/www/logs/1996/12/31/access.log
/www/logs/1996/12/31/errors.log
After midnight the following files would be used:
/www/logs/1997/01/01/access.log
/www/logs/1997/01/01/errors.log
Tool for converting the DAA files (Direct Access Archive, used by
PowerISO) to ISO9660.
DeltaRPM is a tool that generates RPMs that contains the difference between an
old and a new version of an RPM. This makes it possible to recreate the new RPM
from the deltarpm and the old one. You don't have to have a copy of the old
RPM, as it can also work with installed RPMs. The package also contains tools
for creating and applying delta ISOs.
rsyncbackup is a perlscript that reads configuration files for sources
and destinations, and feeds the rsync tool with the appropriate parameters.
This is a port of the cdeploy utility, a tool which can be used to deploy a
directory sub-tree into another directory tree. cdeploy is currently
maintained by the RootForum.org community.
Dim displays the files in a directory by grouping them visually,
making it easy to see what files are related at a glance.

Dolly is used to clone the installation of one machine to (possibly
many) other machines. It can distribute image-files (even gnu-zipped),
partitions or whole hard disk drives to other partitions or hard
disk drives. As it forms a "virtual TCP ring" to distribute data,
it works best with fast switched networks (we were able to clone a
2 GB Windows NT partition to 15 machines in our cluster over Gigabit
Ethernet in less than 4 minutes).
As dolly clones whole partitions block-wise it works for most
filesystems. We used it to clone partitions of the following type:
Linux, Windows NT, Oberon, Solaris (most of our machines have multi
boot setups). We have a small (additional) Linux installation on
all of our machines or use a small one-floppy-disk-linux (e.g.
muLinux) to do the cloning. On newer machines we use PXE to boot a
small system in a RAM disk. From that system we then clone the hard
disks in the machines.
Chgrep searches the input files (or standard input if no files are named)
for oldstring and changes them to new string. If some file and file.lock
exist then chgrep leaves both files unchanged. This program can be very use-
full for mail servers. Chgrep is fast, much faster than grep or sed.
