Anacron is a periodic command scheduler. It executes
commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it
does not assume that the system is running continuously.
It can therefore be used to control the execution of
daily, weekly and monthly jobs (or anything with a period
of n days), on systems that don't run 24 hours a day.
When installed and configured properly, Anacron will make
sure that the commands are run at the specified intervals
as closely as machine-uptime permits.

stress is a tool which imposes a configurable amount of CPU, memory,
I/O, or disk stress on a POSIX-compliant operating system. It is
written in highly-portable ANSI C, and uses the GNU Autotools to
compile on a great number of UNIX-like operating systems. stress is not
a benchmark. It is a tool used by system administrators to evaluate how
well their systems will scale, by kernel programmers to evaluate
perceived performance characteristics, and by systems programmers to
expose the classes of bugs which only or more frequently manifest
themselves when the system is under heavy load.
GNU Stow is a Perl program for managing the installation of
software packages, keeping them separate (/opt/stow/emacs-21.3.1
vs. /opt/stow/perl-5.8.0, for example) while making them appear
to be installed in the same place (/opt).
Stow may be used by non-root users to set up a private hierarchy
under e.g. $HOME/local.

Main changes:
* Monit now reloads configuration ONLY after it receives SIGHUP.
Automatic reload based on monit's control file timestamp is now
defunct.
* New monit command 'reload' is added. If used, it will reinitialize
a running monit daemon (send it the SIGHUP signal).
* A new monit option '-t' is added. If used, monit will run a syntax
check for the control file and exit with the status.
* The ssl version for TCPSSL tests can now explicitly be set if auto-
detection should fail. (Thanks to Mark Foster for
the bugreport)
* Added support for LDAPv2 and LDAPv3, and DWP.
* Restart method added to monit httpd cervlet
* Alert messages in passive mode fixed
* Console command "monit restart [service]" in daemon mode fixed
* Start/stop/restart race condition fixed.

freedt is a reimplementation of Dan Bernstein's daemontools under the GNU GPL,
sharing no code with the original implementation.
It currently includes feature-equivalent replacements for argv0, envdir,
envuidgid, setlock, setuidgid, softlimit, supervise, svc, svok, svscan, svstat
and recordio. It also includes dumblog (a simple multilog replacement),
mkservice (a script for automatically creating service directories), anonidentd
(an anonimising identd implementation) and ratelimit (a bandwidth-limiting
filter along the lines of recordio). All the tools include usage messages; for
instance, do "ratelimit -h" for a brief rundown of the options.
Please note that this package is not a drop-in replacement for daemontools; the
internal state files in service directories are different, and the error
messages (and a few of the options) aren't quite the same.
