Free running software for linux

The goal of RUMT is to check the memory of a computer over a long period of time and almost-real load conditions without having to interrupt the services.

RUMT exploits the possibility of some Unix kernels to selectivly disable some memory areas while still accessing them through the /dev/mem device. The principle of RUMT is to write pseudo-random data in these disabled memory areas, and later check them. This principle and the original code for the deterministic pseudo-random generator are from David Madore.

This distribution contains another variant on the same theme: URUMT allocates a large chunk of memory, locks it in memory using the mlock(2) system call, and scans /dev/mem to find where in physical memory the allocated area is. Then it continuously runs the same tests in that memory.

URUMT can not be used to test a particular area of memory: the kernel will give it whatever physical memory it feels like. But URUMT can be restarted now and then, hopefully getting different physical memory each time.

This is perfect if you suspect you have bad bits, but do not know at all where they are. Once you have sighted the bad bits, you can use a plain RUMT to test more extensively the neighborhood.

Floodcast is a streaming plugin for Noatun that allows:

- Running a simple standalone-server on the machine Noatun is running on
- Forwarding whatever sound is currently played in Noatun to some shoutcast- or icecast-server

It was originally developed by Ryan Cumming (aka Phalynx).

xrick is a clone of Rick Dangerous, known to run on Linux, Windows, BeOs, Amiga, QNX...

Rick Dangerous is the Indiana Jones of computer games, running away from rolling rocks, avoiding traps, from South America to a futuristic missile base via Egypt and the Schwarzendumpf castle.

DCC/Live is a Knoppix based bootable CD-ROM which provides a virtual DCC cluster.

The virtual cluster consists of one master-node (node0), and three virtual work-nodes running on User Mode Linux (node1, node2, node3).

Siteman is a Content Management System (CMS) that is so easy to install and use, that a person who has no knowledge about creating homepages can get a profesionally looking website up and running in just minutes.

dbox2Tradio allows you to listen to radio and watch tv channels using external helper applications (xmms/xine). The shell-style script remotely accesses the dbox2 and performs any action via the (Neutrino) web-interface.

dbox2Tradio supports bouquets and is highly user-configurable. That is, before running, you need to adjust language and helper applications. Nevermind, its an easy task: Use the source! You need a dbox2 running Linux.

wmAppKill is a window maker dock app that lists all your running processes. You can kill any of them by double-clicking on their names.

You can specify wich process will be the oldest one of the list. The one by default is "wmaker". Type "wmAppKill -h" to get command line options.

Installation:

To install wmAppKill :

1. tar xvfz wmAppKill-x.x.tar.gz
2. make
3. make install (you must be root)
