Consule is a distributed, highly available and data center aware tool for
discovering and configuring services.
Contractor is an extension service that allows applications to use the
exposed functionnality of registered apps. This way, applications don't have
to have the functions hard coded into them.
The mcollective service agent lets you stop, start, restart and query the
statuses of services via MCollective.
The shell agent allows you to start and manage shell commands via mcollective.
It allows the running of long-running processes with a mechanism to check in
on the output from these long-running processes, which is independent of the
mcollective daemon process (the daemon can be restarted without interrupting
the processes)
The shell client allows you to get commands executed via MCollective's
mcollective-shell-agent plugin.

CPUburn contains several utilities for stress testing various x86
CPUs. To get the most of out of these utilities read the documentation
under share/doc/cpuburn.
The mcron program represents a complete re-think of the cron concept originally
found in the Berkeley and AT&T unices, and subsequently rationalized by Paul
Vixie. The original idea was to have a daemon that wakes up every minute, scans
a set of files under a special directory, and determines from those files if
any shell commands should be executed in this minute.
The new idea is to read the required command instructions, work out which
command needs to be executed next, and then sleep until the inferred time has
arrived. On waking the commands are run, and the time of the next command is
computed. Furthermore, the specifications are written in scheme, allowing at
the same time simple command execution instructions and very much more flexible
ones to be composed than the original Vixie format. This has several useful
advantages over the original idea.
