Free program that allows software for linux

Program D is the most widely used free ("open source") AIML bot platform in the world. Program D project is the most feature-complete, best-tested implementation of the current AIML specification.
It supports unlimited multiple bots in a single server instance, and has an open-ended architecture for interacting via any interface imaginable. The standard release provides a J2EE web application implementation that can be deployed as a .war file. Drop-in listeners are available for IRC, ICQ/AIM, and Yahoo.
It includes an automated testing framework for testing knowledge bases, and is packaged with an AIML Test Suite that verifies that the program itself complies to the AIML specification.
Program D is known to work with many different languages / character sets.
Its component-oriented architecture allows it to be integrated into any application framework desirable. It is implemented in Java, and uses many features of the latest JDK to provide optimum code reliability. It is actively maintained and supported.
Enhancements:
- This is a highly-recommended release which introduces some interesting performance improvements, fixes a number of important bugs, and brings some major architectural improvements.
- Most notably, Program D can now be deployed as a .war file to a Web application server, and can interact with a Web client using "AJAX" technologies.
- This final release follows three release candidates which ironed out a few minor issues.

pvswitch is a very tiny program which makes it possible to use different program installations on one machine flawlessly.
Its flexibility is intended for people who need to run programs against different interpreter versions.
But it can also be used for different purposes like switching the version of a compiler, text editor, mail reader, browser, whatever.
It is most useful for developers of interpreter based programs which are started via a hash-bang line (#!).
The following example explains the usage for perl programs, but the very same is true for all other interpreter languages.
If you install two or more different perl versions on your machine, you could just call the respective perl binary you want to use..
perl myscript.pl
/path/to/another/perl myscript.pl
This works fine, although it isnt very convenient. However if you are starting your program using the hash-bang line like
#! /usr/bin/perl
and then just start it by
./myscript.pl
you would need to change the file itself to use another perl version. Again it is possible, but not very convenient.
And here comes pvswitch: its purpose is to make such situations convenient. Further it solve some problems which come up if multiple people want to use different perl versions. pvswitch allows even to run one program in two shells with different perl versions.
This is possible because pvswitch uses a environment variable to select the interpreter version to use. This environment variable can be set in different sessions independently.
pvswitch is installed as new program binary (e.g. perl) the old one will be renamed to program.pvswitch.
Now every time you execute a this program (e.g. perl), pvswitch is executed. It doesnt matter how you start the program...
perl myscript.pl
./myscript.pl # if it has a hash-bang #! /usr/bin/perl
for both cases the pvswitch binary will be executed, pvswitch will than check for the environment variable PVSWITCH_PERL_BINARY (if you are running perl), if it is found it tries to find this key in the configuration file pvswitch.conf and execute the program which is configured for the version configured set in the environment variable (e.g. perl.pvswitch).
So it just executes the real program (e.g. perl interpreter). Depending on the environment a different version might be selected.
There are some convenient tools (e.g. perlver, pvconfig) to configure this.
Enhancements:
- Fixed a bug which could cause segmentation violation.

game control program project helps administrate game servers, especially automated kicking of players.
game control program helps you administrate gameservers (its written for Q1 and Q3, but works for others). It is highly modular and therefore extensible.
With the current modules, it can start/stop servers, create and rotate logfiles, allow remote administration via telnet, and kick misbehaving players automagically (according to a rule set).
Main features:
- starting a game server and getting hold of all log messages
- creating log files (complete or rotated per map)
- parsing log messages (game independent and configurable)
- sophisticated remote administration (user groups, extensible command set)
- sending commands to a running server (Q,QW,Q2,Q3)
- automatic kicking system according to specific rules (eg. too high rate set by the client)
- check if a server is hanging and kill the process to force a restart
- sending commands to the server at specified timesallows timed startup / shutdown of servers
Enhancements:
- renamed packages and modules (see doc/config)
- added new module: CommandScheduler
- sends a command to the server in defineable periods - see cfg/events.xml allows:
- COMMAND - send as RCon command (command is set as attribute parameter)
- KILLSERVER
- STARTUP
- SHUTDOWN

Sample Inventory Program provides a laboratory inventory management system (LIMS) for Zope.
Many integration tests exist for various aspects of the SIP application, ranging from command line importing of samples and project configuration to CSV Web-based importing of sample modifications.
Main features:
- Cross platform using the Zope 3 appliation server and Python language. Contains over 200 unit and integrations tests.
- Command line import functionality (import application configuration, projects, samples, aliquots and container heirarchies)
- Cross project searches based on Subject Ids, Other Ids, Additional Sample Data, and Sample Types. Uses REPORT Permission.
- Search Form Screenshot
- Project level permissions. Users can be enabled/disabled by removing User Permission in the Applicaiton root. Lab Technician Permission allows users to put contents into a shipment and add/modify Samples. Project Manager permission allows project configuration as well as administering Users for specified projects.
- User and Permission Screenshot
- 100% Web based interface (IE, Mozilla, Safari tested). QT based client in development.
- Projects Overview Screenshot
- Ability to Split Aliquots into smaller units and put them into separate physical containers.
- Ability to Derive Aliquots into other Sample Types. Derived Samples/Aliquots links to their origin sample.
- Locations/Containers are heirarchical and can be restricted to a Project
- Shipments act as virtual containers where Lab Technicans can split aliquots into. AlsocShipments contain Contact Info, Shipping Info and Funding Info. While the Shipment Status will control the status of the Shipment moving from: Incomplete, In-Transit, and finally Received based on date fields being filled out.
- Shipment Screenshot
- Understandable relational model that enables simple reporting to be easily constructed by third party tools such as Jasper Reports
- Batch editing available using CSV files. All changes are transactional. You can easily import hundreds of samples into multiple projects by using CSV files and importing them through the web interface. You can change locations of aliquots by using the CSV import functionality. Any functionality that can be done in the web interface is complimented by CSV functionality.
- Project Search Results Screenshot
- Ability to administer Sample Type, Container Type, Locations and Unit of Measure at the application level to enforce standards across all Projects. Requires Application Manager permission.
- Ability to assign Sample Type, Locations, Technicans in a Project by Project basis.
- Project Administration Screenshot
- Advance Attribute Capture forms enable Project Administrators to specify what attributes for their Sample Types need to be captured for their project. Now non-technical users can ensure that Lab Technicans capture any attribute for any Sample Type. Attributes are limited to: DateTime, Boolean, Float, Integer, String and Text fields. Default Values can be assigned.
- Sample Type Attributes Screenshot
- Finally Sample Type Attributes can have validation scripted on a field by field basis. By using the TALES Validation functionality for Sample Type Attribute Fields. Examples of TALES validation:
- python: value < 100 # value of the field is less than 100
- python: value < datetime.date(2006, 10, 31)
- # value of the field is less than 10/31/2006
- Edit Comments will require a comment to be added to any field that is edited. These are used in conjunction with RDBMS triggers to keep a audit log to ensure that all changes to all inventory can be tracked.

Graffiti Server is a small C program that allows the posting of messages and, optionally, HTML. It displays the most recent messages but has a search function for finding entries with a given keyword or string.

The administrator connects from the local host using IP address 127.0.0.1 and delete messages from any IP.

You can search for any text string and the graffiti server will match against all old messages, as well as new ones, and return those that match.

Right click here and select save... to download a gzipped Linux binary. Right click here for the gzipped source for the graffiti server. The binary is only 45K[2] bytes and the source is only 9K in size (compressed).

To install it, simply gunzip the binary and run it with one of the following commands, then install the same command in your startup files. For example, in many Linuxes, you can put the command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it will be executed on each startup.

The general syntax is:

graffiti [port] [directory] [!]

The first argument is the port. If there is only one argument, it must be a port number.

The second argument is a directory name.

The third argument, if present and an exclamation point (!) tells graffiti to allow html postings.

Command examples:

graffiti

(The above will attempt to use port 80, the standard WWW port, will put its files in /var/tmp/ and will disallow html.)

graffiti 7777

(This command will do everything just like the command before it, only it will attempt to use port 7777 instead of 80.)

graffiti 8888 /home/rayy/graffiti/

(This command will put the files in /home/rayy/graffiti/ and will try to run on port 8888.)

graffiti 9999 /home/rayy/graffiti/ !

(This one will, again, put the files in /home/rayy/graffiti but will use port 9999, and will allow html entries.)

The data files take about 1 megabyte but will hold about 2500 graffiti entries, as configured.

If a file named wg####.txt is present in the data files directory, the Graffiti Server will display that file on every page. [Where #### is the port number the Graffiti Server is running on]. You can run as many copies of the graffiti server as you wish on separate ports. Because each copy puts its port number in its file names, there will be no file conflicts.]

GNU SpaceChart is a program that allows you to see the stars in glorious 3D and rotate them to see them from any point of view.
You can also limit which stars you want to see, according to their spectral class and luminosity, and draw links between all stars closer than a certain distance.
GNU SpaceChart works under the GNOME environment. Provided GNOME is present, its known to work on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris 8.
Enhancements:
- SpaceChart is now part of the GNU Project.
- Added bulgarian translation.
- Added french translation.
- Added saving configuration files.
- SpaceChart now uses Right Ascension instead of longitude when interacting with users.
- You can now see a list of all stars in the current dialog, and center the map on any of them.
- The default data file now comes from Hipparcos/CCDM. Read data/README to find out more.

G-whale project is a simple, text-based mail user agent.
A mail user agent (MUA) is a program that allows you to receive and send e-mail messages; its usually just called an e-mail program.
To use an MUA such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook, you install the MUA program on your computer and then use it to download and store e-mail messages to your computer; it will also allow you to read or write messages offline.
Web-based MUAs, such as Hotmail and Yahoo, store messages on their own mail servers and allow access to them through a Web page. An MUA is sometimes called an e-mail agent or an e-mail client.
Enhancements:
- A configuration file is now used.
