Ruby-quota is a ruby library to manipulate filesystem quotas.

Terminal mixer can start processes inside a pseudo-terminal, which can be accessed through a Unix socket, TCP or even raw ethernet (not yet ported to FreeBSD). The programs can be linked to the current terminal, or they can be unlinked like in nohup. But even in this latter case you can connect to them using the mentioned protocols. tm can also start programs as if they communicate through pipes instead of terminals, and this can be quite useful for remote-controlling applications. More than one client can connect to the served pseudo-terminal, either using tm as a client or telnet for TCP. You can choose if they are only allowed to read, or they can also contribute on input.

unquote executes a command after unquoting a specified list of arguments, so that arbitrary characters may be passed in command-line arguments.

Usbutils contains the lsusb utility for displaying information about USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.

The stalepid utility was developed to facilitate the startup of servers that write their process ID to a file and refuse to start if that file exists (e.g. when the process was last terminated by an unclean shutdown, or simply killed without given the chance to clean up the process ID file). The stalepid utility is used to check for and possibly remove those stale process ID files. Upon its invocation, stalepid checks for the following conditions: - the file specified by the pidfile argument exists; - it contains a single line, and the line contains a single number; - there is no process with the process ID specified in the file, or if there is one, it is not named processname. If all those conditions are met, the stalepid utility will remove the file specified by the pidfile argument, thus allowing the next invocation of the server to proceed normally.

sysgather is a simple command-line utility for keeping configuration files under version control.

timelimit executes a command and terminates the spawned process after a given time with a given signal. A 'warning' signal is sent first, then, after a timeout, a 'kill' signal, similar to the way init(8) operates on shutdown.

PEAR Log framework provides an abstracted logging system. It supports logging to console, file, syslog, SQL, Sqlite, mail and mcal targets. It also provides a subject - observer mechanism.

task spooler is a Unix batch system where the tasks spooled run one after the other. Each user in each system has his own job queue. The tasks are run in the correct context (that of enqueue) from any shell/process, and its output/results can be easily watched. It is very useful when you know that your commands depend on a lot of RAM, a lot of disk use, give a lot of output, or for whatever reason it's better not to run them at the same time.

vcp copies files and directories in a curses interface, and behaves much like cp.
