Free linux 1.01 software for linux

S-Jinn is a free open-source Linux application written in C. It is designed to be used with external TIA/EIA-232 (RS-232) test, measurement, and control devices and allows for rapid prototyping, automation, and deployment. I believe you will find it easier-to-use, more intuitive, and more concise than stty or C-Kermit with regards to command-line and/or scripted RS-232 data acquisition and control.
Popular Linux communications packages like Minicom are easy-to-use, but are primarily designed to work with modems, PCs, and other standard equipment. They typically lack support for all of the possible combinations of UART communication settings required by RS-232 test, measurement, and control devices on the market.
Many popular communications packages lack command-line support. Some provide scripting languages, but S-Jinn frees you from these application-specific languages. S-Jinn allows you to manipulate your data from your favorite Unix shell and/or scripting language whether it be Bash, Python, Perl, Expect, or you name it.
Main features:
- Control RS-232 DTR and RTS lines from the command-line and optionally display DTR, RTS, CTS & DSR status
- Send control characters (i.e. the NULL character)
- Send values in hex
- Specify read length
- Display the read buffer in ASCII, hex or ASCII-over-hex.
- Program & display coded/programmable delay times
- Supports virutally all baud rates, parity, and data lengths found in standard PC UARTS
- Output Formats: Wrap text, truncate lines, add, display, or supress trailing new lines
It is not designed to be used for serial communications with modems or for use as a terminal emulator. There are a large number of free open-source applications available that are much better suited to those functions. S-Jinn is written to work with RS-232 based data acquisition equipment such as: Multimeters, A/D modules , D/A modules, digital inidicators, gauge multiplexers, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, etc.
Enhancements:
- The code was cleaned up to fix compilation issues with some new versions of GCC.

Linux::Inotify2 is a scalable directory/file change notification.

SYNOPSIS

Callback interface
use Linux::Inotify2;

# create a new object
my $inotify = new Linux::Inotify2
or die "Unable to create new inotify object: $!";

# for Event:
Event->io (fd =>$inotify->fileno, poll => r, cb => sub { $inotify->poll });
# for Glib:
add_watch Glib::IO $inotify->fileno, in => sub { $inotify->poll };
# manually:
1 while $inotify->poll;

# add watchers
$inotify->watch ("/etc/passwd", IN_ACCESS, sub {
my $e = shift;
my $name = $e->fullname;
print "$name was accessedn" if $e->IN_ACCESS;
print "$name is no longer mountedn" if $e->IN_UNMOUNT;
print "$name is gonen" if $e->IN_IGNORED;
print "events for $name have been lostn" if $e->IN_Q_OVERFLOW;

# cancel this watcher: remove no further events
$e->w->cancel;
});
Streaming Interface
use Linux::Inotify2 ;

# create a new object
my $inotify = new Linux::Inotify2
or die "Unable to create new inotify object: $!" ;

# create watch
$inotify->watch ("/etc/passwd", IN_ACCESS)
or die "watch creation failed" ;

while () {
my @events = $inotify->read;
unless (@events > 0) {
print "read error: $!";
last ;
}
printf "maskt%dn", $_->mask foreach @events ;
}

This module implements an interface to the Linux 2.6.13 and later Inotify file/directory change notification sytem.

It has a number of advantages over the Linux::Inotify module:

- it is portable (Linux::Inotify only works on x86)
- the equivalent of fullname works correctly
- it is better documented
- it has callback-style interface, which is better suited for
integration.

Libckpt is a portable checkpointing tool for Unix. It provides a mechanism for enabling fault-tolerance for long-running programs.

Libckpt implements most optimizations that have been proposed to improve the performance of checkpointing.

Additionally, it implements "user-directed" checkpointing, a new optimization unique to Libckpt.

xmemo is a small X Windows desktop memo.
A memo can be sent to other machines running xmemo, IPMsg or Oboegaki.
Enhancements:
- [New] Presence/Absence mode.
- [New] Pass some command line parameters to XtAppInitialize.
- [New] GNU like installation ( configure, make, make install ).
- [Change] Process of memo data file when the xmemo starts up.

MURIX Linux is a distribution based on LinuxFromScratch for building bootable CD-ROMs.

Since you build it from source, MURIX should function on almost any hardware.

Trinacria Linux is a new Italian distribution based on KNOPPIX.

Trinacria Linuxs primary target markets are the Italian office users and Linux beginners.
