Free control room software for linux

Anyone who has spent enough time in Linux probably believes that you can never have enough control.

LPQ Control PHP script is a tool that parses the output of the lpq command and provides a web interface that allows you to remove print jobs from a printer.

You need to make sure that Apache can execute the lprm command. For a
default Apache installation, you will need to add the following line to
your /etc/sudoers file:

apache ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/lprm

This allows the PHP program to remove *ANY* specified print job.

Control Library is a small C++ library for writing control applications. It can be compiled for either generic Unix userspace or for kernelspace under RTLinux 3.2.
Control Library frees a programmer from having to write control applications in low-level C code under RTLinux, while allowing the control code to be tested in userspace before running it in kernelspace under RTLinux.
Main features:
- Thread support as C++ class(es)
- Locking primitives in a C++ way
- Synchronization (semaphores, conditions)
- Timing primitives (getting the absolute time, timers, etc)
- Reusable PWM (pulse-width modulation) algorithm
- Reusable PID (proportional integral differential) control algorithm
- Compiles for either userspace Linux or RTLinux kernel space
- Platform-neutral API -- all platform specific calls reside in one .c file so adding a new embedded platform to this library is relatively straightforward
- Makes development and testing easire -- its easier to test under userspace then recompile for kernel space using the same API.
Enhancements:
- This release adds a waitData() method for RTFifos in userspace context.
- There are miscellaneous utility functions such as a C++/Kernel compatible Memcpy, Strdup, Strcpy, etc.

CD-Rom Control is an X Window control panel which eases the use of the cd-rom drive. It allows you to mount, eject/umount, the cd-rom drive at the click of a button.Other features include autostart and cd status checking.

This software is provided as is and has been designed for use on a Linux system. If you are using it on a non-Linux system and you find/fix errors please let me know. If you have problems you can contact me and I will try to answer your queries. Once you have the software you may do with it what you will. The only thing I ask is that if you make any changes, add new features,
let me know and e-mail me a copy of it so I can include the new features or changes into the next version.

Tips for installation:
su
make

Next make one of the following depending on which flavour of GUI you want:
make tk
make gtk
make gnome

jukebox-control project is a complete automation for Sony A/V components featuring S-Link (CD, DVD, MD, etc).
jukebox-control includes a Linux driver module for an easy/dirty cheap to build DIY parallel to the Sony S-Link interface, plus Perl modules with both control-A1 (II) and control-S protocol implementations.
Its actually-incomplete development state makes it interesting for developers mostly.
Enhancements:
- Bidirectional Control-A1 protocol fully supported
- Unidirectional Control-S protocol implemented, not fully supported yet.
- New object model that ties A1 and S devices together under the same base class.
- CDDB support has been removed temporarily. I am rewriting most of the modules at this time.
- No real user interface. Hey! This is a interim release.

Ubuntu Christian Edition is a free, open source operating system geared towards Christians.
The goal of Ubuntu Christian Edition is to bring the power and security of Ubuntu to Christians. Ubuntu Christian Edition is suitable for both desktop and server use. The current Ubuntu Christian Edition release supports PC (Intel x86).
Ubuntu Christian Edition includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core desktop installation fits on a single CD. Ubuntu Christian Edition covers every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to web server software and programming tools.
Along with the standard Ubuntu applications, Ubuntu Christian Edition includes the best available Christian software. The latest release contains GnomeSword, a top of the line Bible study program for Linux based on the Sword Project. There are several modules installed with GnomeSword including Bibles, Commentaries, and Dictionaries.
Ubuntu Christian Edition also includes fully integrated web content parental controls powered by Dansguardian. A graphical tool to adjust the parental control settings has also been developed specifically for Ubuntu Christian Edition. These features are truly what sets Ubuntu Christian Edition apart.
This is a script for those who do not wish to use Ubuntu CE but would like to use the web content filtering that is available in Ubuntu CE and a script that will install the Dansguardian GUI to an Ubuntu system that is already using Dansguadian.
System requirements:
- Ubuntu distro
Packages Installed:
- Dansguardian Web Content Filtering
- Graphical tool to easily change the Dansguardian filter settings
How to run the script:
1. Download the script archive.
2. Right click on the archive and select Extract Here.
3. Double click the "install_me" file.
4. Select "Run in Terminal".
5. Enter your password when prompted.
6. Follow the onscreen prompts.
Once you have finished running the script immediately reboot your computer. Dansguardian WILL NOT function correctly until after you reboot. Your original sources.list file will be restored when the script is finished.
*Note: This is a powerful script. It will be making changes to your system and should be USED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
**Note: You may want to make backup copies of the following files:
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox.cfg
/etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js
/etc/apt/sources.list
***Note: This script should only be used on Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft). The script has only been tested on a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft). Results may vary with different configuration settings.
****Note: You may see a few errors during the script regarding dansguardian and clamav. These should be ignored. Once you reboot your computer these configuration issues will be resolved.

control-center package is a Gnome system control center.
Enhancements:
- configure.in: updated for 2.18.1.

Winamp::Control is a Perl module to control winamp (over the network).

SYNOPSIS

use Winamp::Control;

use IO::Extended qw(printfln);

my $winamp = Winamp::Control->new( host => $opts{host}, port => $opts{port} );

if( my $ver = $winamp->getversion )
{
printfln Connected to Winamp (Ver: %s), $ver;

printfln Currently playing: %s , $winamp->getcurrenttitle() if $winamp->isplaying();

println "Current playlist:nt", join "nt", $winamp->getplaylisttitle();
}

Winamp::Control is a perl module for controlling Winamp (www.winamp.com) over a network or local. It requires the httpQ winamp-plugin written by Kosta Arvanitis (see prerequisites) installed on the computer playing the music (It is called "server" and will receive the commands). Perl clients doesnt need it, because the clients are communicating via http (and they are not restricted to any operating-system).

XMMS-Control provides a Web-based control for XMMS.
XMMS-Control is a web-based interface for the XMMS (X MultiMedia System). XMMS is an MP3 player for Linux based systems (it also plays other media formats).
XMMS-Control is a graphical interface for the command-line utility XMMS-Shell.
Using XMMS-Control, you can control the music playng from an XMMS equipped machine from any PC on the network, including wireless laptops/PDAs!!!
Imagine being out in the pool and being able to control the music with an 802.11b based PocketPC using a browser! You can do it with XMMS-Control!
XMMS-Control has an interface for standard PCs (desktops/laptops), as well as a mobile/PDA formatted interface, for smaller screens!!!
In addition, XMMS-Control can itself be controlled via other programs (i.e., custom interfaces) using the XMMS-Control API/Hooks program! You can tie XMMS-Control into a larger system via this method.
Lets say youre creating a system for whole-house automation, and you wish to use ONE consistent interface. Well, with the XMMS-Control API/Hooks, you can!!!
Enhancements:
- Some major bugfixes... should work MUCH BETTER on most platforms that had problems before. If you had problems getting XMMS-Control installed and running, please try this new version! Please read the new installation entries in the manual!!!
- More detailed installation instructions for getting XMMS-Shell up and running (including V0.99) in the README & manual.
- Directories are now SORTED alphabetically on the file chooser screen (previously was unsorted).
- Should handle MP3 lists with file names and ID3 tags containing commas much better now (previously when a comma was encountered, the list was off by one, the name would get split, and the second half would go to the next line).
