XArchive is a generic front end for archives that uses external wrappers around the command line tools. XArchive checks its wrapper directory when it starts, consulting each wrapper found to see what file types are supported.
Thus, a new archive format can easily be supported by just writing a wrapper for it and dropping it in the wrappers directory.
Currently there are bash shell wrappers for: rar, tar, zip, and ace
(ace supported using unace, so only reading and extracting available).
These can easily be copied and modified to have xarchive support other command line tools and file types without having to touch xarchive at all.
Enhancements:
- This version supports adding files to an archive using Drag n Drog, and has a few GUI clean ups.

Panda Antivirus for Linux is an antivirus for Linux servers and desktops. The project is an antivirus designed to be managed from the command line or console. To do this, an executable called PAVCL will be used.

The aim of Panda Antivirus for Linux is to scan and disinfect Windows and DOS workstations connected to a Linux server, as well as the Linux server itself.

Panda Antivirus for Linux scans files using both string searches and heuristic methods. The target files of the antivirus are Word documents, Java Applets, ActiveX controls and compressed files (ZIP, RAR, etc.).

At the moment, it does not scan the boot sector or the partitions table.

Panda Antivirus for Linux is a freeware version: Panda Software does not offer technical support for this software.

Closebracket let you define multiple shell actions in a single command to speed up the typing of the most repetitive shell commands. The command name of Closebracket is `] and `][, thats because these characters are near the "Enter" key and it is easy to type them fast.
`] stands for "primary fire", while `][ is the secondary one.
After few days youll find Closebracket very additive.
Closebracket is dedicated to the God of Laziness, may He bless you (when He feels to do it).
Installation:
Download the latest tarball from http://www.freaknet.org/alpt/src/utils/closebracket/tarball/
Use the ./install.sh script to install it. It will copy the files in ~/.closebracket and add some aliases in ~/.bashrc
Usage:
Since too many words are needed to describe all the actions that are included
by default, Ill show you them by examples.
Keep in mind that you can tune them and define your own actions by editing the
~/.closebracket/closebracket.conf file.
In the first line closebracket is used to activate an action. The second line is the equivalent of that action.

### Basic shell movements
##
$ ]
$ ls # ls current directory
$ ][
$ cd # cd to home
$ ] dir/
$ cd dir/
$ ][ dir/
$ ls dir/
$ ][ file
$ cat file
$ ][ non_existent_file
$ vim non_existent_file
##
### Remote shells
##
$ ] shell # With closebracket you keep the list of the
$ ssh shell.expanded.org # name of your remote shells in
# ~/.closebracket/shells. In this case we put
# "shell.expanded.org" in the list.
# Closebracket searches the closest match with
# the word you typed and then use that as the
# remote shell hostname.
$ ] shell:file
$ vim scp://shell.expanded.org/file # Beware of the Vim power
$ ] user@shell:/path/file
$ ] scp://user@shell.expanded.org/path/file
$ ][ shell:dir/
$ scp -r shell.expanded.org:dir/ .
$ ][ shell:dir/ local_dir/
$ scp -r shell.expanded.org:dir/ local_dir/
$ ][ file1 file3 dir1 dir3 shell:remote_dir/
$ scp -r file1 file3 dir1 dir3 shell.expanded.org:remote_dir/
##
### URLs, mail addresses and algebra
##
$ ] http://URL
$ firefox http://URL
$ ][ http://URL
$ wget http://URL
$ ] email@address.org
$ mutt email@address.org
$ ] 2*2+1-21%2^2
$ echo 2*2+1-21%2^2 | bc -l
$ ] "2*2+1*sqrt(400)/l(2)^2" # if you want to use parentesis you
$ echo "2*2+1*sqrt(400)/l(2)^2" | bc -l # have to use quotes ;(
##
### File type based on extension
##
$ ] pack.tar.gz # This works for .tar, .tar.bz2,
$ tar xfz pack.tar.gz; cd pack/ # .tar.gz, .tgz, .zip, .rar
# If the directory unpacked isnt the
# same of the filename of the tarball
# it understands that ^_-
$ ] movie_or_mp3.ogg # .avi, .mp3, .wav, .wmv, ...
$ mplayer movie_or_mp3.ogg
$ ] image.jpg # .jpg, .png, .gif, ...
$ gqview image.jpg # if you are in tty it launches `seejpeg
$ ][ image.jpg
$ gimp image.jpg
$ ] file.htm # .htm, .html, .php, ...
$ firefox file.htm # if you are in tty it launches `links instead.
Enhancements:
- ] file:line is now equivalent to executing "vim file +line".
- The "untarra script will now repair broken tar/zip/rar archives, i.e. archives that would decompress files in ./.
