EnBug

EnBug is useful for when you have to fix a DOS or Windows machine with no or broken networking, and no CD or no available media (and in my case, neither terminal program would upload with [XYZ]modem). Use a terminal program to dial into a box with a shell account, use lynx or wget to fetch EnBug and the required files, EnBug them and log/capture the output to the local disk (lack of 8-bit-clean is fine), run debug, redirecting input from the captured text file. Debug then re-creates the original files. Large files are split and must be recombined with COPY /B 1file+2file+3file file.

Sophosticated consists of two BASH scripts. One script installs Sophos virus scanner updates from CD, while the other downloads, unpacks, and installs the latest IDEs (Sophos parlance for virus descriptors).

Meter runs a process, then if it's still going after the specified number of seconds, sends the child a SIGINT and two seconds later a SIGKILL.
