Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system
administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of
computer data across a network of computers of different kinds.
In technical terms, it is a network Client/Server based backup program.
Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many
advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and
recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design, Bacula is
scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting of
hundreds of computers located over a large network.

libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and
presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access
key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network traffic,
disk I/O, and more.

so as long as we're talking to /dev/apm, store the battery level and
show when it changes ("Battery level changed to low")
Filelight creates an interactive map of concentric segmented-rings that
helps visualise disk usage on your computer.
It is like a pie-chart, but the segments nest, allowing you to see not
only which directories take up all your space, but which directories and
files inside those directories are the real culprits.
thanks to steven@ for improving my pathetic patch...

FAM, the File Alteration Monitor, provides an API which applications can

Logpp is a tool for preprocessing event logs and feeding relevant
information to other programs for storing or in-depth analysis.
During its work, logpp reads lines appended to input files (like tail(1)
in -f mode), matches the lines with patterns (e.g., regular
expressions), converts matching lines according to given templates, and
writes the results to given destinations.
Logpp supports multi-line matching and several types of output
destinations like regular files, FIFOs, external programs, and the
system logger.Therefore, logpp can act as a filter in front of the
more complex event log analysis system and increase the system's
performance by weeding out irrelevant log data; it can work as a syslog
gateway between the system logger and the application that doesn't use
syslog(3); it can convert multiline log messages to shorter single
line messages, and accomplish other log pre-processing tasks.

- a command line client, tablec, has been added to speak to a tabled daemon
over the net
- network exchange can be protected by a secret hash

Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using
a cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate
elements normally aggregated in different files, like users, cron jobs,
and hosts, along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services,
and files.
Puppet's simple declarative specification language provides powerful classing
abilities for drawing out the similarities between hosts while allowing them
to be as specific as necessary, and it handles dependency and prerequisite
relationships between objects clearly and explicitly.
Puppet is written entirely in Ruby.
A cross-platform Ruby library for retrieving facts from operating systems.
Supports multiple resolution mechanisms, any of which can be restricted to
working only on certain operating systems or environments.
Facter is especially useful for retrieving things like operating system names,
IP addresses, MAC addresses, and SSH keys.
ocaml apps compiled using it.
Issue was that the configure script which tried threads gets confused by
the spurious OpenBSD linker warnings about sprintf and falls back to VM
threads.

dwdiff is a front-end for the diff program that operates at the word
level instead of the line level. It is different from wdiff in that it
allows the user to specify what should be considered whitespace, and in
that it takes an optional list of characters that should be considered
delimiters. Delimiters are single characters that are treated as if they
are words, even when there is no whitespace separating them from
preceding words or delimiters. dwdiff is mostly commandline compatible
with wdiff. Only the --autopager, --terminal and --avoid-wraps options
are not supported.

The tree utility displays a small formatted tree of directories. It can

Clusterit is a collection of clustering tools loosely based on IBM's
PSSP clustering tools. Unlike PSSP or GLUnix, Clusterit allows fast
parallel execution of remote commands as it is written in
architecture-independent C. Administrators can choose from a variety
of authentication methods, including SSH and Kerberos.
With Clusterit, administrators can run parallelized and load
balanced software builds (using jsd/jsh) or manage a heterogeneous
cluster of machines (using dsh/dvt/rvt).

pscpug is a unix utility designed to graph a given process's CPU usage
over time. Since you can see changes over time, it is often more useful

preserve my changes to the fentonups driver, allowing the detection logic
to be bypassed and a model to be forced - for UPSes that do implement the

From the 4.0.0 announcement:
Added colorschemes for most server applications, improved setting
of colors (now also background and attributes can be set), improved
userinterface, like 'tee' output can now be send to other processes/
files before or after processing, ip adresses/hostnames/seconds
since epoch/errno values can be translated, it can now also read
from stdin, added key for hiding all windows but the one selected,
lines ending with '\' can be merged into one line, furthermore quite
a few small bug fixes and numerous small additions and improvements.
