Free tools software for linux

More Tools Menu 1.2.1 provides you with an excellent and powerful extension which can move new items to "More Tools" menu. Unclutter the "Tools" menu by moving new items to a "More Tools" menu.

Enhancements: Rewrite tools moving logic again, this time taking compatibility with toolbar customization into account. (#290)

HA-Tools provide some programs to improve shell scripting in a High Availability environment.
The halockrun program provides a simple and reliable way to implement a locking in shell scripts. A typical usage for halockrun is to prevent cronjobs to run simultanously. halockrun uses a lock on a file via fcntl(2) which ensures the release of the lock even if the process gets killed via SIGKILL.
The hatimerun program provides a time-out mechanism which can be used from shell scripts.
Enhancements:
- This release features some extensions and clarifications about the exit codes returned by halockrun and hatimerun.

All I wanted is a simple way to format DVD-RAM, create UDF filesystems, set or remove the write protection and informations about the DVD-RAM.

KDVD-RAM Tools are a combination with service menu, shell script and kdialog.

xen-tools project is a collection of scripts which allow you to manipulate virtual images for the Xen virtualization software.
With the tools installed, you may create new instances of Debian, complete with networking, OpenSSH, and user accounts, with one simple command. Images may also be easily updated, listed, or deleted.
Main features:
- Create new Xen instances of Debian Sarge, in minutes. (xen-create-image)
- Duplicate an existing image, whilst updating the networking information. (xen-duplicate-image)
- List all existing images with their networking details (xen-list-images)
- Delete previously created instances. (xen-delete-image)
- Update the images youve created with apt-get, without booting them. (xen-update-image)
Creating A New Image:
The script will contains a full manual written using the perl documentation system, perldoc, which you can read by executing:
xen-create-image --manual
This manual describes the operation of the script, and the supported options. (Each of the available options may be setup in a configuration file for ease of use.)
As a very simple example the following command willcreate an image using DHCP to obtain its networking information. The primary disk will 2Gb with 128Mb memory and swap:
xen-create-image --hostname=vm01 --dir=/home/xen
--size=2Gb --swap=128Mb --memory=128Mb --dhcp
If you wish to give the instance a static IP address then provide the information with the following flags:
--ip
The IP address to give the instance.
--gateway
The IP address of the gateway machine.
--broadcast
The broadcast address to use.
--network
The network the image is upon.
--netmask
The netmask to use.
Enhancements:
- This release supports the installation of RPM-based distributions via the external rinse tool, which is more reliable than the rpmstrap utility.
- New guests will now have a random MAC address generated by default, to avoid issues with udev, and several other minor bugfixes were applied.

anyfs-tools is a unix-way toolset for recovering and converting filesystems.
SYNOPSIS
build_it [-qvV] directory inode_table
anysurrect [-b blocksize] [-i input_inode_table] [-p path_prefix] [-u file_umask] [-U dir_umask] [-qvV] device inode_table
reblock [-nqvV] inode_table device blocksize
build_e2fs [ -c|-l filename ] [-b blocksize] [-f fragment-size] [-g blocks-per-group] [-i bytes-per-inode] [-j] [-J journal-options] [-N number-of-inodes] [-n] [-m reserved-blocks-percentage] [-o creator-os] [-O feature[,...]] [-q] [-r fs-revision-level] [-R raid-options] [-v] [-F] [-L volume-label] [-M last-mounted-directory] [-S] [-T filesystem-type] [-V] inode_table device [blocks-count]
mount -t any -o inodetable=file.it[,other_mount_options] device dir
build_it reads from directory recursively information about all filesystem inodes using filesystem driver (read-only maybe) for Linux OS and saves it to external inode table.
anysurrect search on device files proceeds from knowing different file types structure. Information about founded files also saves to external inode table.
reblock change filesystem block size. reblock using information from inode table change each files fragments placing so, that it was align by blocks bounds with new size.
build_e2fs proceeds from external inode table information for building ext2fs filesystems on device.
anyfs filesystem driver for Linux allows to mount device using inode table information. At mounted filesystem will be allow so file operations as deleting, moving files; making symbolic and hard links, special files; changing file access permissions. All this changes saves on unmounting to the same external inode table file and doesnt affect the device.
Usage:
Convert filesystems
anyfs-tools allows to convert filesystems. The only one requirement for source filesystem exist: there is must be FIBMAP system call ioctl(2) support in the filesystem driver (maybe read-only) for Linux OS.
Destination filesystem at that moment maybe only ext2fs. But its quite possible, that in future there are will other filesystem building support. At the first it must be interest for filesystem maintainers so as existing of convenient tool for converting of other filesystems to their one, not requesting much free space for saving of all user data, certainty will increase of the filesystem users.
In general, an applying anyfs-tools order for filesystem converting must be next:
1) build_it for reading all informaton about files placing and access permissions and saving it to external inode table file.;
2) anyfs driver for checking existence of all needed files and maybe searching of files requiring of separately saving (e.g, files eith size less than 4 Kb for ReiserFS);
3) maybe reblock for changing filesystem blocksize in occurence when destination filesystem dont support the same blocksize for this device, that source one;
4) at last ext2fs filesystem builds by build_e2fs.
Recovering damaged filesystem
For recovering files from filesystem at first intended anysurrect. After it using possible applying of anyfs filesystem drive for founded files viewing and maybe reading and saving it to another filesystem. Driver also may allow to sort files into directories so as user need in it, rename files as it necessary. At last also possible to build new filesystem with help of build_e2fs.
Recovering files from not damaged filesystem
For file recovering an aplying anyfs-tools tools order is the same that for recovering damaged filesystem excepting that at the begining you must execute build_it for reading about present filesystem file placing.
Enhancements:
- Fix anyfs building with kernel version >=2.6.19
- Some other building fix
- Fix new (from v0.84.10) i/o buffer bug in anysurrect.
- Extremally optimize anysurrect.
- Add -s option to build_it.
- Add support of converting from ntfs-3g by anyconvertfs.

Wyrm Tools is a suite of tools to make your gaming more productive regardless of which rules system you use. More importantly, Wyrm Tools is an RPG tool platform.

While this project anticipates to offer the standard RPG tool fare (such as a character generator and editor), it gives users the flexibility to add their own tools, even to the point of defining their own game systems.

The foundation of Wyrm Tools is the Eclipse Rich Client Platform. Wyrm Tools is to be to RPGs what Eclipse is to, well, everything else.

The overall project has progressed to a pre-alpha release. The core platform functionality (i.e. the game system agnostic bits) are mature. Currently, the d20 3.5 game system is being implemented along with a d20 character editor.

Site Tools is a collection of Modules for perl that allow easy template integration, SQL forms creation, tables, sessions, and various other things that make web development a little easier to manage. Requires the SQLObject and PObject classes available on my project page. I have stopped developing these classes in favor of the Template Toolkit, it is a lot more robust and mod_perl aware, please use that instead.

To install everyhthing, follow the next instructions:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Basic documentation can be found through perldoc Site. It has pointers to other modules to look at.
