direnv is an environment switcher for the shell. It knows how to hook into
bash, zsh, tcsh and fish shell to load or unload environment variables
depending on the current directory. This allows to have project-specific
environment variables and not clutter the "~/.profile" file.
This is a network-based backup system based of rync. It can do full and
incremental backups to a remote file server. It relies on rsync for the
host to host copy and uses hard links to provide multiple snapshots of the
data without duplicating identical files.
Convenience tools for manipulating disk images such as ISOs and flash drive
install images.
`disktool' is an XView program to monitor up to 64 filesystems
simultaneously and alert you when a particular filesystem is low on
space. disktool is set-up to "un-iconify" when a filesystem it is
monitoring has reached its' user-definable "critical threshold". A
Unix command can also be initiated when this threshold is reached.
The command and un-iconifying can be repeated every so many polls,
configurable from the cmdline or from the Properties pop-up.
The properties pop-up is obtained by selecting any gauge with the
right mouse button. The middle mouse button has also been mapped to
force a filesystem poll to update the displayed data.
`disktool' is a good sysadmin tool for monitoring diskfull situations
to avoid datafile corruption.
djmount is a UPnP AV client. It mounts as a Linux filesystem the media
content of compatible UPnP AV devices.
Djmount discovers automatically all UPnP AV Media Servers on the network,
and make the content available in a directory tree. All shared files
(e.g. Audio or Video files) are directly visible and can be played using
your favorite media player.
djmount is written in C for the Linux operating system.
It is free software, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public
License (GNU GPL).
Dmidecode is a tool or dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS) table
contents in a human-readable format. The output contains a description of the
system's hardware components, as well as other useful pieces of information
such as serial numbers and BIOS revision.
Docker is an open source project to pack, ship and run any
application as a lightweight container.
Docker containers are both hardware-agnostic and platform-agnostic.
This means they can run anywhere, from your laptop to the largest
EC2 compute instance and everything in between - and they don't
require you to use a particular language, framework or packaging
system. That makes them great building blocks for deploying and
scaling web apps, databases, and backend services without depending
on a particular stack or provider.

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.
downtimed is a program that monitors operating system downtime, uptime,
shutdowns and crashes and keeps records of those events.
downtimed(8) is a daemon process which is intended to be started
automatically from system boot scripts every time when the operating
system of a server starts. First the daemon logs its findings about the
previous downtime to a specified logging destination as well as in a
database file which can be displayed with downtimes(1). After that the
daemon just keeps waiting in the background and periodically updates
a time stamp file on the disk.
downtimes(1) is a command-line tool which can be used to inspect previous
downtime records.
DSBBatmon is a GTK+ battery monitor for FreeBSD. It displays the battery's
current status, capacity, and remaining time. It warns the user if the battery
capacity is low, and can automatically shut down the system if a critical
capacity is reached.
