Free batch software for linux

libbatch implements typical batch process functions.

These functions include common SQL operations, functions for working with temp files, logging functions (with severity, priority, colors, and verbosity), functions that work with files and directories, and functions for using config files.

Installation:

1. untar

tar xfvz libbatch.tgz

2. Path

We can include libbatch in the same directory that have standard Python libraries. If we dont do that well have to include standout.py and libbatch.py in the same directory that we have the programs that use them

3. libbatch.cfg

libbatch searches for libbatch.cfg in order at the folowing paths:

$HOME/etc/libbatch.cfg
/etc/libbatch.cfg
/etc/AutoCodeGenerator/libbatch.cfg

BatchSystem-SBS is a simple batch system.

SYNOPSIS

a short example

#edit examples/sbsconfig-examples-1.xml to put your own local machines (it can be a good idea, if you have not a cluster, to enter your local machine with different addresses (localhost, 123.156.78.90, hostname) to see sommething a bit more realistic...

#System status #in a side term, to see every second the watch -n 1 ../scripts/sbs-scheduler-print.pl --config=sbsconfig-examples-1.xml

#to submit or dozen or so scripts on queue single
../scripts/sbs-batch-submit.pl --config=sbsconfig-examples-1.xml --queue=single --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh --command=a.sh

#and on a higher priority queue

#to update
../scripts/sbs-scheduler-update.pl --config=sbsconfig-examples-1.xml

#to check data consistency (and solve main problems
../scripts/sbs-scheduler-check.pl

#to remove a job --config=sbsconfig-examples-1.xml
../scripts/sbs-batch-remove --config=sbsconfig-examples-1.xml yourjobid

submiting command

You can submit either comman or scripts.

Script submited on a resource of type machine will be sshed on the host

Once a resource is attributed to a job, the script is transformed, changing the following varaibles (see examples/*.sh)

$(machinefile} (for cluster type resource) ${nbmachines} (for cluster type resource) ${host} (for machine type resource) ${jobid}

At submition time, a directory with the job number (incremented integer) is created, where stdout/err will be written.

There will also have a batch.properties file (pids, start time etc. etc.)

Semi-Batched-Image-Editor program is an image editor for Linux.
The problem: Got a huge amount of scanned pictures (from your digital camera, or as Picture-CD from your favorite lab)? Want to rotate some of them to the right orientation? Select a good detail? Scale to a given output format? Want to do this with as less as possible mouseclicks?
The solution: SeBIE - the Semi-Batched-Image-Editor.
Main features:
- Input filename selection via regular expressions.
- Create output filename via regular expression and substitution.
- Select image details with a given proportion.
- Scale to a given output format when saving.
- Apply some color correction (at the moment only gamma curve correction is possible).
Why Semi-Batched? Because SeBIE is not fully batch processing. A rest of user interaction is still needed (and wanted).
SeBIE is written in C using the gdk/gtk (glib-2.0.7/gtk+-2.0.9) toolkit.
Installation:
Get the source distribution from the download page and unpack:
tar -xvzf sebie-0.9.tar.gz
Change to the sebie source directory:
cd sebie-0.9
Run the configure script:
./configure
Build the executable:
make all
And install it as root:
make install
Start the application using the command sebie....
Enhancements:
- Add events delete_event and destroy to main window.
- Handling resizable drawing area.

KBarcode is a barcode and label printing application for Linux and KDE 3.
KBarcode can be used to print every thing from simple business cards up to complex labels with several barcodes (e.g. article descriptions).
KBarcode comes with an easy to use WYSIWYG label designer, a setup wizard, batch import of labels (directly from the delivery note), thousands of predefined labels, database managment tools and translations in many languages. Even printing more than 10.000 labels in one go is no problem for KBarcode.
Additionally it is a simply xbarcode replacement for the creation of barcodes. All major types of barcodes like EAN, UPC, CODE39 and ISBN are supported.
Enhancements:
- Fixed TBarcode2 detection in system check
- Fixed checksum for TBarcode2
- Improved CSV file import (works now with any table and fixed field files);
- Added new version of barcode writer in pure postscript;
- Supported barcodes are now parsed from barcode writer in pure postscript file;
- Fixed address printing;

ssl-cert-check is a Bourne shell script that checks the expiration status of digital certificates on SSL servers.
It supports both interactive and batch modes and easily integrates with cron. It provides custom expiration thresholds and can be configured to send email if a certificate is close to expiring.
Enhancements:
- This release contains a new "-i" option to print the certificate issuer.
- The requirement to use GNU date has been removed (the program now uses a built-in Julian date routine).
- The documentation has also been significantly updated to include numerous useful examples.

Popcheck is a software that can check your POP3 mail account. Log onto a popserver to see a list of all messages that you have on there, with sender, subject and size for each message.

With an ncurses interface that easily lets you scroll through them, and optionally deleting messages without ever downloading them

This can be useful when youve received big mails that you dont really want to download.

Usage: popcheck [-s pop3 server] [-u pop3 user] [-p pop3 password] [-o filename] [-i filename]

-s and -u are the only ones that are requred. Popcheck will ask you for
a password if it isnt supplied on the command line.

-o and -i are for batch mode. Use with caution, because you can easily delete all your mail using this function.

Keys when using the curses interface:

UP, p - Up one line
DOWN, n - Down one line
PGUP, - - Up one page
PGDN, space - Down one page
d - Mark/Unmark message
s - Exit and save changes
q - Exit without saving anything
