Free config software for linux

KPicFramer is a small (but slightly maddening) card game for the K Desktop Enviroment.
KPicFramer 0.5 and above require KDE 3.2 including the kdegames module.
Enhancements:
- port to KDE 3.2 (KDE 3.1 might work as well)
- resizable window
- configureable shortcuts, toolbar
- config dialog with more config options
- complete rewrite

iCalDoubleRemover script just removes duplicate Entries in iCals. Dupicate entries are defined as having the same Entries except for the UID bit. A special feature is support for duplicate BirthdayCal entries as well.

Be aware that you need Perl, Config::Inifiles via Perlupdate ( perl -MCPAN -e shell install Config::IniFiles ).

IPv4/IPv6 DNS and DHCP config generator is a tool that can be used to generate DNS and DHCP configuration files from a central configuration file.
IPv4/IPv6 DNS and DHCP config generator supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and reverse zones and multiple IPv4 networks, and generates one reverse DNS zone for each /24 network.
Main features:
- Multiple Subnets resp. DHCP configuration files are supported
- Multiple IPv4 networks are supported. addrconf will generate one reverse DNS-Zone for each /24 network.
- One IPv6 reverse DNS-zone is supported. Preferably with a /48 prefix.
- addrconf does not create complete config files. For the DHCP config files it created only the "host asdf {... }" stancas and for the DNS zonefiles it generates only the A, AAAA, and PTR records. These generated files can be included in the DNS and DHCP config files.
Enhancements:
- The need to change the Perl script for configuration changes was removed.
- General configuration options can now be specified inside the (hosts) configuration file.
- Multiple configuration files are now supported.

Python config module allows a hierarchical configuration scheme with support for mappings and sequences, cross-references between one part of the configuration and another, the ability to flexibly access real Python objects without full-blown eval(), an include facility, simple expression evaluation, and the ability to change, save, cascade, and merge configurations.
It interfaces easily with environment variables and command line options. Python config module has been developed on Python 2.3, but should work on version 2.2 or greater.
Usage
The simplest scenario is, of course, "Hello, world". Lets look at a very simple configuration file simple.cfg where a message to be printed is configured:
# The message to print (this is a comment)
message: Hello, world!
and the program which uses it:
from config import Config
# You can pass any file-like object; if it has a name attribute,
# that name is used when file format error messages are printed
f = file(simple.cfg)
cfg = Config(f)
print cfg.message
which results in the expected:
Hello, world!
A configuration file is, at the top level, a list of key-value pairs. Each value, as well see later, can be a sequence or a mapping, and these can be nested without any practical limit.
In addition to attribute access (cfg.message in the example above), you can also access a value in the configuration using the getByPath method of a configuration: cfg.getByPath(message) would be equivalent. The parameter passed to getByPath is the path of the required value. The getByPath method is useful for when the path is variable. It could even be read from a configuration.
There is also a get method which acts like the dictionary method of the same name - you can pass a default value which is returned if the value is not found in the configuration. The get method works with dictionary keys or attribute names, rather than paths. Hence, you may call cfg.getByPath(a.b) which is equivalent to cfg.a.b, or you can call cfg.a.get(b, 1234) which will return cfg.a.b if it is defined, and 1234 otherwise.
Enhancements:
- This release makes classes derive from an object (previously, they were old-style classes).
- ConfigMerger has been changed to use a more flexible merge strategy.
- Multi-line strings (using """ or ) are now supported.
- A typo involving raising a ConfigError was fixed.

Nagios Config project is a Web-based front end for configuring Nagios 1.x.
Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. It has been designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under most *NIX variants as well.
The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins" which return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser.
Main features:
- Monitoring of network services (SMTP, POP3, HTTP, NNTP, PING, etc.)
- Monitoring of host resources (processor load, disk and memory usage, running processes, log files, etc.)
- Monitoring of environmental factors such as temperature
- Simple plugin design that allows users to easily develop their own host and service checks
- Ability to define network host hierarchy, allowing detection of and distinction between hosts that are down and those that are unreachable
- Contact notifications when service or host problems occur and get resolved (via email, pager, or other user-defined method)
- Optional escalation of host and service notifications to different contact groups
- Ability to define event handlers to be run during service or host events for proactive problem resolution
- Support for implementing redundant and distributed monitoring servers
- External command interface that allows on-the-fly modifications to be made to the monitoring and notification behavior through the use of event handlers, the web interface, and third-party applications
- Retention of host and service status across program restarts
- Scheduled downtime for suppressing host and service notifications during periods of planned outages
- Ability to acknowledge problems via the web interface
- Web interface for viewing current network status, notification and problem history, log file, etc.
- Simple authorization scheme that allows you restrict what users can see and do from the web interface
Enhancements:
- A require_once() statement in cleardb_import.php was fixed.
- The main page was redesigned to be more efficient.
- A problem in services_A1.php was fixed.
