Free control techniques software for linux

Ops Control Panel is a frontend for MRTG.

Unlike many other frontends, it does not have any requirements beyond those of MRTG, although it can support PHP-enabled Web servers instead of just running as a Perl CGI script.

Ops Control Panel project provides overviews of MRTG-based monitoring pages in a variety of formats.

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.

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).

Debian Control Center (DCC) is a modular project written in Python. The goal of this project is to enable normal people to configure their Debian system as well as some of the server packages. A second goal of this project is to make the experienced Debian system administrators to configure and change her system, without having to remember a lot of commands and configuration files. On a more implementation level, the project should be able to accept new modules without having to change a single line of code in the main configuration program.
Enhancements:
- A program called dcc_wrapper included, a wrapper to launch the dcc as root by presenting the user with a password prompt.
- users module, used to manage users.
- groups module, used to manage groups.
- terminal module, only used if you have python-gnome installed, opens a root terminal.
- Debian menu item included.
- Ability to select whether the items should open as open or closed.

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.
