Free publishers weekly software for linux

diskfree project is a shell script designed to be run periodically from cron to let you know how much disk space youve used, what directories have grown, which directories have shrunk, etc.
Installing
1. If you have Bash installed, then edit line 1 and point it to Bash. If you dont have Bash installed, but have the Korn shell installed, edit line 1 and point it to that (typically #!/bin/ksh).
2. Decide which directories you want reported on or if youre paranoid, remember to use the -p option. If you want something other than the default then use the -d option
3. Decide who should get the report. If it should go to root, dont do anything. If it goes to someone else, use the -m option (-m someone@somewhere.net)
4. Decide where you want the files this script creates to be put. If /tmp is OK with you, do nothing. If you want them elsewhere use the -l option (-l /var/log)
5. Decide how frequently you want the report run (daily, weekly, monthly, etc) If you want it run daily, then create on entry in your crontab like:
00 00 * * * /some/path/diskfree
If you want to run it monthly as well, I suggest you also add this to crontab:
00 02 01 * * /some/path/diskfree -e monthly
And quarterly would appear in crontab like:
00 04 01 */4 * /some/path/diskfree -e quarterly
6. Save your crontab.
7. Copy diskfree.8 /usr/man/man8
8. Wait for the script to run TWICE, then check your email and review the report
9. Send comments, bugs, suggestions to dhunley@columbus.rr.com
Enhancements:
- Altered the output to put the df output first and the details second.

NewSyslog is a highly configurable program for managing and archiving log files.
Main features:
- It is more portable (using GNU Autoconf) and it can be compiled and installed on most any modern Unix or Unix-like system.
- It has support for fixed time-of-day daily archiving with a command-line option to identify the daily roll-over invocation (which may be at midnight, or at any other regular daily time).
- It supports the FreeBSD feature that allows specification of the log roll-over time as a daily, weekly, or monthly interval (with optional time-of-day specification for the last two). [The other overly flexible, ISO 8601 interpretation of the interval "@" option is not supported -- it is too generic and not meaningful enough in the context of log file management.]
- It supports optional PID files so that non-standard daemons can be told to re-open their logfiles after archiving has taken place. (Including /dev/null which disables signalling of any daemon when the specified log file is rolled over.)
- It can send a signal other than SIGHUP to the daemon associated with a given log file.
- It can leave the most recently archived log file uncompressed, which is necessary for daemons like httpd and smail because they continue to write to the current log file until their current jobs have completed. (This also makes it much easier to review recent log data with normal Unix tools.) [NetBSD now has this feature.]
- It supports the FreeBSD feature of being able to restrict processing to just those log files specified on the command line.
- Unlike the NetBSD version it first parses the config file before taking any action, meaning that if any errors are encountered it will report them and quit without doing anything.
- Unlike the FreeBSD version, it will roll a log file if either the interval or size limits have been reached (FreeBSDs version makes it too easy to have a rapidly growing log file overflow the filesystem).
- Unlike the NetBSD version it always creates any missing log file (though this can be disabled on a per-file basis).
- It uses an advisory lock on the current configuration file to prevent multiple invocations from tripping over each other.
- The documentation is far better!

Yalla, is yet another font selector. Written in C#, it allows you to quickly compose and compare fonts, colors, and text samples.

Yalla (hebrew for GO!), is yet another font selector. Its pretty well a C# copy (sincerest form of flattery) of "Gnome Font Sampler", but with some UI and major speed enhancements. I felt I had to write this after dealing with the head ache of over 6,000 fonts.

This app loads fast, and is simple to use.

It is intended for graphic artists, desktop publishers, or anyone who installs WAY too many fonts.

Freenet software lets you publish and obtain information on the Internet without fear of censorship. To achieve this freedom, the network is entirely decentralized and publishers and consumers of information are anonymous. Without anonymity there can never be true freedom of speech, and without decentralization the network will be vulnerable to attack.
Communications by Freenet nodes are encrypted and are "routed-through" other nodes to make it extremely difficult to determine who is requesting the information and what its content is.
Users contribute to the network by giving bandwidth and a portion of their hard drive (called the "data store") for storing files. Unlike other peer-to-peer file sharing networks, Freenet does not let the user control what is stored in the data store. Instead, files are kept or deleted depending on how popular they are, with the least popular being discarded to make way for newer or more popular content. Files in the data store are encrypted to reduce the likelihood of prosecution by persons wishing to censor Freenet content.
The network can be used in a number of different ways and isnt restricted to just sharing files like other peer-to-peer networks. It acts more like an Internet within an Internet. For example Freenet can be used for:
Publishing websites or freesites
Communicating via message boards
Content distribution
Unlike many cutting edge projects, Freenet long ago escaped the science lab, it has been downloaded by over 2 million users since the project started, and it is used for the distribution of censored information all over the world including countries such as China and the Middle East.
Ideas and concepts pioneered in Freenet have had a significant impact in the academic world. Our 2000 paper "Freenet: A Distributed Anonymous Information Storage and Retrieval System" was the most cited computer science paper of 2000 according to Citeseer, and Freenet has also inspired papers in the worlds of law and philosophy. Ian Clarke, Freenets creator and project coordinator, was selected as one of the top 100 innovators of 2003 by MITs Technology Review magazine.
Enhancements:
- This release operates over UDP rather than TCP.
- It can transparently operate through firewalls.
- The core architecture and algorithm have been redesigned for simplicity and efficiency.
- A new and even simpler API allowing the rapid development of third party software that interacts with Freenet has been added.

Hydra Backup System is a full backup system for UNIX-like systems.
Main features:
- Archives directories and stores archives on one or more FTP servers
- Includes a graphical client (built with the PyQT toolkit) and a command-line client for local or remote backup administration
- Control how often directories are backed up (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Exclude directories from backups (e.g. backup /etc/ without backing up /etc/apache)
- Uses Pyro for client-server communication

PROPS is an open, extensible Internet publishing system designed specifically for periodicals such as newspapers and magazines who want to publish online, either exclusively or as an extension of their print publication.
PROPS is written entirely in PHP4 using a MySQL database backend, and is free software released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Main features:
- Easy to install
- Well-documented, robust API allowing third party developers to create plug-ins to extend base functionality
- Delivery of content to multiple target platforms (HTML, XML/XSL, WAP/WML, text, etc)
- Readers may format a story for printing, or email to a friend
- Pages are presented as static URLs so that spider type search engines may crawl and index them
- Strict separation of design and content - designers control site look and feel by developing templates using standard site editing tools such as Dreamweaver, GoLive, BBEdit, etc., while editors manage site content via a web interface
- Permissions-based multiuser site management screens allow a PROPS site to be maintained by a distributed team of reporters and editors
- Will support the XML-based News Industry Text Format
- Will speak various XML dialects for both import and export, allowing syndication in both directions, and enabling PROPS sites to participate in distributed news networks
- Is targeted at mid-sized publishers serving fewer than one million page views daily, however will be architected to scale through deployment of multiple front-end web servers, separate image servers, etc.

SomaList is a part of the Soma project.

Soma project started in summer 2003 to manage the digital version of an acitvists radio old spools.

The first release just gave just the chance to play random some audio files in a directory using an external program (at that time mpg123). In despite of that this software was never used, i kept on thinking about soma project for some weeks, until i started directly to work with a group called Reload, which was experimenting at the time a project called "eterete" and creating a place for a web radio at Pergola Tribe (a selfmanaged house in Milan).

We used, of course, a release, which was a little bit better to manage the radio-playlist and of course we implemented the software itself. From september till december soma became a software suite, configurable through file and (remote administration...). Thats thanks to the relationships and the inputs that such a community like Reload can create.

A group of passionate activists was able to make broadcastings and broadcast schedules, to find out new problems and to give implementation advices. They also suggest me the idea that soma (originally a simple play-list manager) could become a programs suite, which has a player, a software for deferred broadcasting, a more user friendly admininstration, documentation and distribution.

Some time after came soma player and soma admin. The player was still very behind compared to my implementation ideas. Somadmin was straight away on line and advertised on radio.inventati.org/somadmin/

In January 2004 we showed Soma at the first italian (web and air-waves) radio meeting in Naples.The meeting was technologically and politically profitable and it was an attempt to build up a real radio-network. Radio.inventati.org was actually the only example od direct cooperation among even very different people: individuals, improvised groups, very old and movement radios and experiences from overseas countries.

On the web site there are occasional streamings, weekly streamings, and 24hrs music flows.

The object of the technical research was a digital environment, which could let individuals or whole communities gain access to a common schedule with resum?s,
repetitions, deferred programs, live broadcastings, regular broadcastings as one national and international network. Soma could satisfy this need and could be easly managed through the web thanks to somadmin, which could update the soma admin in real time.

The developments went on. Somaplayer is now reality. The only music player which can stream directly an mp3, an ogg vorbis, a wav, a track from an audio cd or a streaming directly on an icecast server (icecast 2 or shoutcast) or just play it on a computer using sound drivers or sound daemons.

At the moment more other people work at this project, who debug the software, write docs, work at the website and make installation packages (for debian).

PPPstat is an easy-to-use console utility to see the summary of dial-up connections from your unix system. Uses logs of pppd.
PPPstat is designed to provide a statistic on dial-up Internet connection. PPPstat project uses system logs of pppd daemon, thats why it would be useless if one would use something else to connect via PPP.
Main features:
- store info about connects in separate file;
- after getting info about connects to Internet from logs, PPPstat can group them:
- by user, who starterd pppd or by ISP in any combinations;
- by period: day or mounth;
- to make output more pretty, there is a configuration file which contais info about IPs of ISPs modem pools to print ISP name instead IP;
- count costs of connects.
Enhancements:
- make use of autotools. Now installation is corresponds GNU requirements
- output completely changed. Hope, it would be more convinient. Inspired by ppplag
- location of file, where syslog stores its messages, is taken from its config file
- added script for cron (/etc/cron.weekly/pppstat) to keep /var/log/pppd.log up to date, independently of program usage
- added ukrainian and russian translation
