Language::Functional is a Perl module which makes Perl slightly more functional.

SYNOPSIS

use Language::Functional :all;
print The first ten primes are: ,
show(take(10, filter { prime(shift) } integers)), "n";

Perl already contains some functional-like functions, such as map and grep. The purpose of this module is to add other functional-like functions to Perl, such as foldl and foldr, as well as the use of infinite lists.

Think as to how you would express the first ten prime numbers in a simple way in your favourite programming language? So the example in the synopsis is a killer app, if you will (until I think up a better one.

The idea is mostly based on Haskell, from which most of the functions are taken. There are a couple of major omissions: currying and types. Lists (and tuples) are simply Perl list references, none of this cons business, and strings are simple strings, not lists of characters.

The idea is to make Perl slightly more functional, rather than completely replace it. Hence, this slots in very well with whatever else your program may be doing, and is very Perl-ish. Other modules are expected to try a much more functional approach.

splash-selector project is an usefull splashscreen selector for Gnome Desktop.

This application allow you to store a list of splash images and to apply one of them, with only 2 click of the mouse.

Splash-selector is fully functional but pretty new and ready to be bugfixed and improved.

Sloth Online RPG is aJava Online RPG with Real-Time Action and rich 2D graphics.

Sloth Online RPG is a work in progress that will provide a fully graphical online role playing game engine. SlothORPG is coded in Java and is currently in a near playable state featuring several classes with over a thousand lines of code.

My main intentions with this project are to provide a free, fully functional, ever expanding Role Playing Engine (both client and server side) for the end user who would be playing the game. Developers would also be able to use the project as a resource on certain aspects of Java Game Programming.

Server side the project implements the NIO Networking library to create a smoother, stronger tcp/ip core. I found UDP and TCP w/ the old IO library to be unreliable and sluggish respectively. The way in which the server is structured has proven to be strong thus far.

The client side of the code features the Graphics2D Java library to provide near perfect animation without requiring a rendering device such as OpenGL or DirectX.

To summarize my entire intent for this project I basically wanted to provide an Online RPG that is functional on almost any OS that has Java installed and can run just as smooth on low end machines while still being able to feature rich 2-D graphics. The source code is clean and neat as well as commented and organized.

It is easy to read and understand for someone who has some knowledge of Java. As I write this, the project is coming along nicely and some pre-alpha local network testing has proven this. I plan to continue with this project and in the future include database integration and more of a developer-side interface.

A quick rundown of what this project includes so far: Character Creation, Smooth character animation, and fully supported tcp/ip gameplay. Chatting is also implemented.

glucopy-glurestore is a set of scripts for copying and restoring a fully functional GNU/Linux (or other Unix-like) system.

The glucopy script will back up all system content (system and user files), while the glurestore script will partition and format an identical system, restore the system and user files, and make the system bootable.

glucopy-glurestore scripts are included in the HTML documentation.

The back-up should (ideally) be made while the system is not running, which usually means that you need to boot with a rescue system disk. A number of suitable floppy or CD-based system images can be downloaded from the net or, better, included in your distributions boot options. Make sure that this rescue system supports the type of disks in your target system (SATA/SCSI or IDE).

The following script will get partition information in a form that can be used to restore the system on new disks and will then collect the working system files in one (or more) compressed tar balls.

The sfdisk program is used for getting partition information (-d option). Take a look at sys_partitions.txt after the glucopy.sh script has finished.

In this application it is considered that all Master Boot Record (MBR) information will be overwritten by the partitioning and boot loader programs. If you need a copy of all or parts of the MBR, however, dd is your friend.

System directories that contain transient information (e.g. /proc, /sys) are not copied. Directories or individual files containing unwanted information can be excluded using tars –exclude=/directory/file option.

# glucopy.sh
#
# Creates the /glucopy directory
# Copies partition information in sys_partitions.txt
# Optionally makes a copy of the MBR in mbr.bin
# Copies working GNU/Linux system to .tgz files
#
# USAGE:
# Boot system with a rescue CD or any bootable CD
# that supports your type of disks (SATA/SCSI or IDE).
# run the back-up script: ./glucopy.sh
#
# In this example the system is on /dev/sda
# /dev/sda1 is a small partition with HW manufacturer utilities
# /dev/sda2 has system root (/) -> mounted to /mnt
# /dev/sda3 is a spare (blank) partition
# /dev/sda4 has home (/home) and space to hold
# the information to be copied -> mounted to /mnt2
#
# 061116 jp/dm
###########################
# Change the following to reflect the place where your system root (/)
# and the home directories (/home/*) are mounted
mkdir /tmp/mnt1
mkdir /tmp/mnt2
mount /dev/sda2 /tmp/mnt1
mount /dev/sda4 /tmp/mnt2

# The directory to hold the system copy is placed on the larger partition
mkdir /tmp/mnt2/glucopy

# Change to the working directory
cd /tmp/mnt2/glucopy

# Optionally copy MBR information
#dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.bin bs=512 count=1

# Copy partition information
/sbin/sfdisk -d /dev/sda > sys_partitions.txt

# Make tarballs
tar -C /tmp/mnt1 -cvzf syscopy.tgz boot bin etc lib media opt root sbin usr var dev

# Move up a level
cd ..
# here we are under the /home directory level
# notice that --exclude will exclude anything that matches a _pattern_
# the glucopy directory will still be created in the tarball
tar -cvzf ./glucopy/homecopy.tgz * --exclude=glucopy/*

# Copy the backup/restore scripts (here under root /), and the sfdisk program, as well
cp /glucopy.sh ./glucopy
cp /glurestore.sh ./glucopy
cp /sbin/sfdisk ./glucopy

# Notify user
echo -e “glucopy: finished a”

levy is a perl script which generates a basic iptables rulesets based on a given external interface and a set of ports to open. Its design is to save folks some time in creating a skeleton ruleset to work from, though it can construct a fully functional firewall with NAT support.
levy has several run-time options to control what sorts of rulesets to generate: see levy.pl -h for a full list.
Here are some examples for usage:
I want a basic firewall which allows in ports 22, 80, 113 (matching their protocols), logs all dropped connections, aggressively defines reserved addresses, and provides NAT for 192.168.0.0/16. My interface to the internet is eth0 --
./levy.pl eth0 22 80 113 -l -r -m -n 192.168.0.0/16 > firewall.rules
After testing this ruleset, I decide its fine, though I want to open https (443) and set the output as a shell script I can just run:
./levy.pl eth0 22 80 113 143 -e -l -r -m -n 192.168.0.0/16 > firewall.rc
Main features:
- Levy supports creating a restrictive firewall with specific public services, defined subnets for NAT, and defined trusted networks.

SimMon is a cross platform monitoring tool which runs on Solaris,Linux,Mac OS X and Windows based systems. In fact, it runs on all systems which are compatible with Java 1.4.x or higher.

Monitoring is done through the execution of existing monitoring scripts or even existing command line utilities and analysing their result (regex/returncode). The default monitoring scripts are Visual Basic Scripting based for Windows and Perl based for Solaris/Linux.

You can even add/develop your own monitoring scripts to the SimMon Agent System. Even SNMP (v1) devices can be monitored by the integrated SimMon SNMP Scheduler.

The agents run autonomous on the monitored systems which mean that there is no need of a permanent connection between the SimMon agent and the GUI or other components of the SimMon architecture.

Actions can be taken if defined in a monitoring task. This can range from communicating problems via mail or even by taking administrative actions like restarting a service or process.

Wizard dialogs are included to ease up the configuration of your SimMon environment. Almost the complete configuration of the SimMon takes place in XML so you can easily copy,alter configurations directly in the configuration files.

The free version of SimMon is not a demo version, but a fully functional version. The Pro version delivers more functionalities to the subscribed users and uses the same technology as the freeware version.
