System Information Data Collector is a tool for collecting information from a HP-UX operating system and some HP hardware and software. System Information Data Collector is a free software and provided by the author AS IS under terms of the GNU General Public License.

Support engineers and system administrators can use System Information Data Collector to obtain a system configuration and troubleshoot problems. To get system information System Information Data Collector script calls specified modules. The modules of System Information Data Collector are located in the modules directory.

The following modules is available in this version:

- disks
Collects disk information (default).

- lvm
Collects LVM information (default).

- etc
Collects /etc configuration files (default).

- init
Collects /sbin/init.d and /sbin/rc? scripts (default).

- logs
Collects /var/adm/syslog file and dmesg output (default).

- net
Collects network information and network device information (default).

- sw
Collects software depot information (default).

- sysconf
Collects system configuration information (default).

- mcsg
Collects HP MC/Service Guard information. This module does not run by default.

- npar
Collects npar configuration information. This module does not run by default.

- dp
Collects HP Data Protector software information. This module does not run by default.

- default
Run all default modules.

The System Information Data Collector has been tested on several HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23 hosts. There was no problems detected with software or hardware during the time the script has been running. But it is not good idea to run script on production michines, because it has not been tested in all possible HP-UX environments.

HP Linux Imaging and Printing Driver Project consists of two projects:

1) HPIJS, a printer driver for HP devices

2) HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP), a complete printing and imaging solution for Linux (note: HPLIP includes HPIJS).

Net::YMSG is a Perl interface to the Yahoo! Messenger IM protocol.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::YMSG;

my $yahoo = Net::YMSG->new(
id => your_yahoo_id,
password => your_password,
);
$yahoo->login or die "Cant login Yahoo!Messenger";
$yahoo->send(recipient_yahoo_id, Hello World!);

Net::YMSG is a client class for connecting with the Yahoo! Messenger server, and transmitting and receiving a message.

Since implement of a protocol is the result of analyzing and investigating a packet, it has an inadequate place. However, it is working as expected usually.

METHODS

This section documents method of the Net::YMSG class.

Net::YMSG->new()

It should be called with following arguments (items with default value are optional):

id => yahoo id
password => password
pre_login_url => url which refers to setting information.
(default http://msg.edit.yahoo.com/config/)
hostname => server hostname
(default scs.yahoo.com)

Returns a blessed instantiation of Net::YMSG.

Note: If you plan to connect with Yahoo!India (yahoo.co.in), it sets up as follows.

my $yahoo_japan = Net::YMSG->new(
pre_login_url => http://edit.my.yahoo.co.in/config/,
hostname => cs.yahoo.co.in,
);

Since it connects with Yahoo!(yahoo.com), this procedure is unnecessary in almost all countries.

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Asia is Perl module to fetch quotes from Yahoo Asia.

SYNOPSIS

use Finance::Quote;
$q = Finance::Quote->new;

%info = $q->fetch("asia","CREA.SI"); # Failover to other methods ok.
%info = $q->fetch("yahoo_asia","CREA.SI"); # Use this module only.

This module fetches information from Yahoo Asia. Symbols should be provided in the format "SYMBOL.EXCHANGE", where the exchange code is one of the following:
SI - Singapore
BO - Bombay
JK - Jakarta
HK - Hong Kong
NS - India
KS - Korea
KL - Kuala Lumpur
NZ - New Zealand
SS - Shanghai
SZ - Shenzhen
TW - Taiwan
TH - Thailand

This module provides both the "asia" and "yahoo_asia" methods. The "asia" method should be used if failover methods are desirable. The "yahoo_asia" method should be used you desire to only fetch information from Yahoo Europe.

Stocks are returned in the currency of the local exchange. You can use Finance::Quotes set_currency() feature to change the currency in which information is returned.

This module is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, but can be loaded explicitly by specifying the parameter "Yahoo::Asia" to Finance::Quote->new().

Information obtained by this module may be covered by Yahoos terms and conditions. See http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/ for more details.

Nonpareil is a microassembler and simulator package for the calculators. It currently supports the HP Classic and Woodstock series. Nonpareil is written in C and uses the GTK+ toolkit.

The Classic series of HP handheld calculators included the following models:

* HP-35 Scientific (Electronic Slide Rule)
* HP-80 Financial
* HP-45 Advanced Scientific
* HP-65 Card Programmable Scientific
* HP-70 Business
* HP-55 Programmable Scientific

The HP-67 is considered by many people to be part of the Classic series since it is packaged similarly to the HP-65, but electrically it is really a Woodstock series machine.

The classic series chip set was also used in the HP-46 and HP-81, which were desktop printing versions of the HP-45 and HP-80, respectively, and the HP 9805A desktop calculator. The same chip set was also used in the HP 1722A Oscilliscope, the HP 3380A Integrator (for Gas Chromatography), and in several HP Gas Chromatographs.

The Woodstock series of HP handheld calculators included the following models:

* HP-21 Scientific
* HP-22 Financial
* HP-25 Programmable Scientific
* HP-25C Programmable Scientific with continuous memory
* HP-27 Scientific and Financial
* HP-29C Programmable Scientific with continuous memory

The code name "Woodstock" referred both to the Woodstock series of calculators, and to the processor architecture use in them. The same processor architecture was also used in the Topcat, Sting, and Spice series, and the HP-67.

Whats New in This Release:

· Build problems that occurred with certain versions of Bison were fixed.
· The need for an X server during the build process was eliminated.

Hotclient provides an authentication client for users of Hotwire Internet connections.

Currently hotclient is available as
. linux shell application
. Windows command line application
. Perl Command line - Platform Independent under the GNU - General Public License

Hotwire - Internet Private Limited is an ISP which provides 24-7 always on Internet connections. You can visit them at http://www.hotwireindia.net. I do not claim any affiliation with Hotwire or Primus Telecommunications India Limited (the parent company) or anybody else thereof. I am just a user of Hotwire services and promise to abide by their terms of usage/service.

Why Hotclient?
People would ask wasnt the authentication software provided by Primus good enough. Well their software can be got from their website at http://hotwireindia.net/Hotwire.exe. Other clients are available as well at the below links

But I have a actual 24-7 connection. Whenever the network fails or the server goes down for a reboot all these clients just exit out of the program.
Well .....Hello! Im not at my desk at all times. What I needed was a client which picks up the connection as and when it becomes available again so that my downloads would continue. Hence the first version for Linux was born (Im better at gcc than VC, besides i dont actually have a valid copy of VC). The Perl version started and was finished on the same day.

Once I did that well I just went ahead and did the same for Windows. Both the GCC and Win-GCC versions are shell based programs.

wmcapshare is a dockapp to control and manage the HP Capshare Information Appliance.

The goal is to provide a linux replacement for the CapShares own application which HP has seen fit to discontinue.

Why

I got sick of having to deal with the openobex sample application as my only interface to my HP Capshare. So I finally sat down and dealt with it. Also HP recently discontinued the product and no longer support it. I had been using it with windows when I needed to, but the drivers no longer work with Win2K.

What

The HP CapShare is a handheld document scanner. wmcapshare is a dockapp to manage the files you upload

Valgrind is an award-winning suite of tools for debugging and profiling Linux programs. With the tools that come with Valgrind, you can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, avoiding hours of frustrating bug-hunting, making your programs more stable. You can also perform detailed profiling, to speed up and reduce memory use of your programs.

Valgrind distribution currently includes three tools: a memory error detectors, a cache (time) profiler and a heap (space) profiler.

Valgrind is Open Source / Free Software, and is freely available under the GNU General Public License.

Here are some key features of "Valgrind":

· Valgrind will save you hours of debugging time. With Valgrind tools you can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs. This gives you confidence that your programs are free of many common bugs, some of which would take hours to find manually, or never be found at all. You can find and eliminate bugs before they become a problem.
· Valgrind can help you speed up your programs. With Valgrind tools you can also perform very detailed profiling to help speed up your programs.
· Valgrind is free. Free-as-in-speech: you can download it, read the source code, make modifications, and pass them on, all within the limits of the GNU GPL. And free-as-in-beer: we arent charging for it.
· Valgrind runs on x86/Linux, AMD64/Linux and PPC32/Linux, several of the most popular platforms in use. Valgrind works with all the major Linux distributions, including Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, Mandrake, etc.
· Valgrind is easy to use. Valgrind uses dynamic binary translation, so you dont need to modify, recompile or relink your applications. Just prefix your command line with valgrind and everything works.
· Valgrind is not a toy. Valgrind is first and foremost a debugging and profiling system for large, complex programs. We have had feedback from users working on projects with up to 25 million lines of code. It has been used on projects of all sizes, from single-user personal projects, to projects with hundreds of programmers.
· Valgrind is suitable for any type of software. Valgrind has been used on almost every kind of software imaginable: desktop applications, libraries, databases, games, web browsers, network servers, distributed control systems, virtual reality frameworks, transaction servers, compilers, interpreters, virtual machines, telecom applications, embedded software, medical imaging, scientific programming, signal processing, video/audio programs, NASA Mars lander vision and rover navigation systems, business intelligence software, financial/banking software, operating system daemons, etc, etc. See a list of projects using Valgrind.
· Valgrind is widely used. Valgrind has been used by thousands of programmers across the world. We have received feedback from users in over 25 countries, including: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, USA, Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and Israel.
· Valgrind works with programs written in any language. Because Valgrind works directly with program binaries, it works with programs written in any programming language, be they compiled, just-in-time compiled, or interpreted. The Valgrind tools are largely aimed at programs written in C and C++, because programs written in these languages tend to have the most bugs! But it can, for example, be used to debug and profile systems written in a mixture of languages. Valgrind has been used on programs written partly or entirely in C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, assembly code, Fortran, Ada, and many others.
· Valgrind debugs and profiles your entire program. Unlike tools that require a recompilation step, Valgrind gives you total debugging and profiling coverage of every instruction executed by your program, even within system libraries. You can even use Valgrind on programs for which you dont have the source code.
· Valgrind can be used with other tools. Valgrind can start GDB and attach it to your program at the point(s) where errors are detected, so that you can poke around and figure out what was going on at the time.
· Valgrind is extensible. Valgrind consists of the Valgrind core, which provides a synthetic software CPU, and Valgrind tools, which plug into the core, and instrument and analyse the running program. Anyone can write powerful new tools that add arbitrary instrumentation to programs. This is much easier than writing such tools from scratch. This makes Valgrind ideal for experimenting with new kinds of debuggers, profilers, and similar tools.
· Valgrind is actively maintained. The Valgrind developers are constantly working to fix bugs, improve Valgrind, and ensure it works as new Linux distributions and libraries come out. There are also mailing lists you can subscribe to, and contact if youre having problems.

· So whats the catch? The main one is that programs run significantly more slowly under Valgrind. Depending on which tool you use, the slowdown factor can range from 5--100. This slowdown is similar to that of similar debugging and profiling tools. But since you dont have to use Valgrind all the time, this usually isnt too much of a problem. The hours youll save debugging will more than make up for it.

Whats New in This Release:

· 3.2.3 is almost identical to 3.2.2, but fixes a regression that unfortunately crept into 3.2.2. The regression causes an assertion failure in Valgrind when running certain obscure SSE code fragments on x86-linux and amd64-linux. Please do not use (or package) 3.2.2; instead use 3.2.3.

linkloop software is similar to ping, but tests connectivity at the link layer (layer 2) instead of the network layer (layer 3).

This works like the HP-UX linkloop utility. It was tested between Linux and HP-UX. There is also a "server-side" utility.

Whats New in This Release:

· inkloop_reply replies only on the interface having received the packet, instead of all.
