Secrond is a light-weight cron implementation that allows running of user-specified programs at periodic scheduled times, handling tasks in intervals of seconds rather than minutes, as well as hours and days. While it is possible to achieve similar behavior by using a traditional cron daemon and adding calls to sleep() to the programs executed, it is impractical.
ITWorks Basic is an IT asset management native iPhone application. It lets you store and manage detailed information about computers, devices, and users, using AES-128 encryption. A Master Password is set up on first run that both protects access to your information and encrypts your data. When you want to add new information, or edit/delete existing records you must 'unlock' the Application using the Master Password, which will also let you view your passwords in clear text. A Regular version adds the ability to export your data via e-mail to an XLS document.
HDT (Hardware Detection Tool) is an OS independent tool that displays low-level information on any x86 compatible system. It detects ACPI, CPU, PCI devices, DMI (memory, BIOS, motherboard, IPMI base board, chassis, batteries, CPU), disks (geometry, partitions), PXE environment, VESA modes, and VPD. It can also deduce the Linux kernel modules needed by a given host.
NConf is a Web tool for configuring the Nagios monitoring software. It differs from similar tools by offering enterprise-class features like templates, dependencies, and the ability to configure a large-scale, distributed Nagios server topology. It lets you effortlessly maintain a distributed Nagios topology. It has a user-friendly GUI. It features host and service templates, a graphical dependency viewer, multiple authentication modes, a Nagios configuration importer, a CSV file importer, and a Perl database API. The data schema is customizable and expandable.
Diskus is a high-level hard drive diagnostic and limited repair tool. It checks the disk geometry by writing numbered IDs into the sectors of the hard drive. Later one can verify that these sector-IDs on the disk are still correct, thereby detecting data which was not correctly written. There is an option to "freshen" the data on your harddrive, which will read and rewrite the sectors. With modern drives this will re-map defective sectors.
The CPAN shell (and module) automates or at least simplifies the building and installation of Perl modules and extensions. It includes some primitive searching capabilities and knows how to use Net::FTP, LWP, and certain external download clients to fetch distributions from the Internet. Then it automatically tests and installs them and their dependencies.
IT Works is an IT asset management native iPhone application. It lets you store and manage detailed information about computers, devices, and users, using AES-128 encryption from the system-provided frameworks for storing sensitive data such as passwords. A Master Password is set up on first run that both protects access to your information and encrypts your data. When you want to add new information, or edit/delete existing records you must 'unlock' the Application using the Master Password, which will also let you view your passwords in clear text.
