GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from
sysutils/smartmontools port), which is a tool for querying and
controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you to
inspect the drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well
as run various tests on it.
Conky is an advanced, highly configurable system monitor.
This port configures conky for use with the Awesome window manager
from x11-wm/awesome. Unless you're using Awesome or some other system
with a client pipe, you probably want the main version of Conky in
sysutils/conky.
chyves is a bhyve front-end manager. chyves manages type-2 virtualized guests by
utilizing hardware virtualization on a base FreeBSD 10.3+ installation. On a
base install, only FreeBSD guests can run. However, with the installation of
sysutils/grub2-bhyve and sysutils/bhyve-firmware from ports or pkg, most other
OSes can run as a guest, including Windows. See DEPENDENCIES section in the man
page for more information.
chyves is targeted for beginners as well as power users. Beginners should find
chyves relatively easy to use with lots of documentation and demonstrations.
While power users should find utility with features such as true ZFS clones,
PCI passthrough, rapid execution against many guests, disk images, and snapshot
reverted states on boot/reboot to name a few of the advanced features.
The name 'chyves' is the pluralized, big endian alphabetic increment of bhyve.
'chyves' is pronounced like 'chives', part of the Allium genus. The onion is
also in the Allium genus.
Quoting IPMItool homepage:
"IPMItool is a utility for managing and configuring devices that
support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version
1.5 and version 2.0 specifications. IPMI is an open standard for
monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and control of hardware that
is implemented independent of the main CPU, BIOS, and OS."
FreeBSD has OpenIPMI-compatible ipmi(4) driver for in-band IPMI
operations in the base system starting from 6.2 release. On older
systems sysutils/ipmi-kmod port is available.
This program dumps system memory to the standard output stream, skipping
over holes in memory maps. By default, the program dumps the contents of
physical memory.
Note: consider using Brian Carrier's Sleuthkit, available as `sysutils/
sleuthkit' port. It is the official successor, based on parts from TCT.
Development of the Coroner's Toolkit was stopped years ago. It is only
updated for bugfixes, which are very rare.
snap is a tool for the management of UFS2 snapshots created
by mount(8). It can maintain hourly, daily and weekly snap-
shots while trying to minimize the disk space occupied. The
snapshots created are labeled with their creation time, and
users can create them manually.
The major advantage over sysutils/freebsd-snapshot is that
it uses hardlink to save diskspace, mark each snapshot with
its creation time and calculates redundancy in a smart way.
GNU GRUB is a multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand
Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich
Stefan Boleyn.
This port does not install GRUB on the master boot record of your hard drive.
To do this you will need to read the info page that is installed by the port.
This port includes additional patches and fixes making it work properly
with ZFS boot-environments. Users on UFS will probably want to install the
regular sysutils/grub2 port.
usermatic
is a collection of Perl scripts to automate maintenance of the
user database on Linux and FreeBSD. Originally it was developed for
FreeBSD, but it should work on Linux as well. These scripts compare the
passwd database to the current list of employees/students/etc. which has
to be supplied in a suitable format. This package was designed to work
together with userneu.pl (sysutils/userneu/) and contains no facilities
to do the actual account creation work, instead it outputs a list suitable
for processing with userneu. Stale accounts can be deleted using the reaper.pl
script.
These scripts are experimental but they should work ok.
Please report bugs to me if you find them.

UDisks2 service provides interfaces to enumerate
and perform operations on disks and storage devices
via D-Bus API. Bsdisks is an implementation of UDisks2
service for FreeBSD.
BSDploy is a comprehensive tool to provision, configure and maintain
FreeBSD jail hosts and jails.
Its main design goal is to lower the barrier to repeatable jail setups.
* Modular provisioning with plugins for VirtualBox, Amazon EC2 and
an achitecture to support more.
* Bootstrap complete jail hosts from scratch.
* Declarative configuration: All hosts and their properties defined
in ploy.conf are automatically exposed to Ansible.
* Imperative maintenance: Run Fabric scripts with ploy do JAILNAME
TASKNAME and have all of the hosts and their variables in fab.env.
* Configure ZFS pools and filesystems with whole-disk-encryption.
