Free freestyle watches software for linux

kfilewatcher project watches for file changes and allows you to react on them.

Example:

kfilewatcher /tmp/test 2>&1 | while read a; do echo "File has changed - doing something"; done

This command does something every time kfilewatcher detects a change. At the moment, the only action is to output "File has changed - doing something", but you can write anything there, e.g.

- backup stuff as soon as it changes
- publish files on your homepage everytime they change
- keep directories in sync

StockWatch! is a SuperKaramba theme that periodically retrieves stock quotes from the internet. Stock Watch! uses Yahoo! Finance data to obtain quotes.

mswatch project is a command line unix program that keeps two mailboxes synchronized more efficiently and with shorter delays than periodically synchronizing the two mailboxes.
mswatch watches mailboxes to know when to initiate mailbox syncs. Using mswatch, your mail synchronization program can be called on demand instead of through polling, resulting in prompter mail delivery and lower bandwidth usage and server load.
mswatch is designed to work in conjunction with mailbox synchronization programs, currently supports watching Linux (2.4+) hosted Maildirs (including Maildir folders, Maildir++), and is licensed under the GNU GPL. Future support for additional mailbox formats, especially for mbox, is planned.
Why mswatch
Keeping a set of mailboxes on multiple computers means keeping the copies synchronized (eg on ones desktop and laptop or on a personal computer that can not be reached while on the road an always-reachable server). While the IMAP protocol is designed to support this and is widely used, IMAP clients can only detect mailbox changes by querying the server.
Thus clients generally either sync when the user requests or sync periodically. However, because each mailbox sync uses server and network resources and because users often have a number of mailboxes, many of which receive mail infrequently, one must compromise between prompt message delivery and low server and network resource usage. Typical practice is to sync only when the user requests or to sync periodically with 5-10 minute frequencies. Nonetheless, it is often helpful for users to see new mail fairly soon after its arrival (eg notifications, group meeting changes, or active conversation threads).
mswatch addresses this speed of delivery vs resource usage tradeoff using interrupt-based instead of polling behavior to detect mailbox changes. mswatch asks each of the two mailstores to send mailbox change notifications; when mswatch receives a notification it in turn invokes the users mailbox synchronization program for the changed mailbox. Thus, idle mailboxes do not use active resources and prompt mailbox synchronization is efficient.
Version restrictions:
- Because mswatch abstracts mail changes and synchronization to the mailbox (instead of message) level and because mail watcher communication is one-way, extra mailbox syncs occur. While it would be great to avoid this extra work, it is in the noise compared to the number of empty syncs that polling accumulates.
For example, the case of new mail delivered to the mail servers INBOX:
(1) mswatch detects the changed server INBOX
(2) mswatch invokes the mail syncer for INBOX, which adds the mail to the local INBOX
(3) mswatch detects the changed local INBOX
(4) mswatch invokes the mail syncer for INBOX, which detects no changes
Thus two syncs occur in this case instead of the single necessary sync.
Enhancements:
- Per-mailbox inter-sync delays were added to rarely sync high volume mailboxes and quickly sync important mailboxes.
- Inter-sync delays are allowed to be greater than the maximum error delay.
- mswatch now prints the names of pending mailboxes upon receiving SIGUSR1.

Infon Battle Arena is a networked multiplayer real-time programming game featuring little creatures fighting for food. You upload your Creature Code (written in Lua) to a game server using a telnet Interface.

The game server then runs your code. The graphical client can be used to watch running games or replay recorded games.

Elephants is an arcade game where you must save giraffes while jumping on a rolled up squirrel!

Watch out for the angry natives!

streamripagent is a simple Amarok script that watches the tracks streamed in Amarok. If any of the regexps in ~/.streamripagent matches the current title, streamripper is started and the track is ripped to a specified directory.

Its not exactly an amarok script that you can manage with the amarok script manager, but its related to amarok, so I put it in this category.

Please read the README before installing and running streamripagent!

homeTVstream is a collection of shell scripts and a PHP-based webpage for watching TV on your LAN computers.

This project is based on VLC, it encodes and streams video using port 8080 in an MMS stream, so you can watch it with VLC, using URL mmsh://yourserverip:8080/, or any other MMS-capable player, using URL mms://yourserverip:8080/, or just by opening the TV page in your web browser.
