Free shutdown software for linux

GtkPBButtons is client for pbbuttonsd displays small popup windows each time a message from the daemon pbbuttonsd appeares. The view of each popup could individually configured.
The following windows could pop up:
brightness level
The current display brightness level would be displayed.
keyboard illumination level
The current keyboard brightness level would be displayed.
volume level
The current volume level would be displayed
mute
The window shows if the speakers were muted.
battery warning
This window shows that battery is running low and how long it would last until shutdown.
trackpad mode
This window shows the current trackpad mode.
sleep warning
This window shows that the machine is going to enter sleep mode. Usually at that time you could press any key or move the mouse to prevent sleep mode.
ejecting CDROM
This window signals that a CDROM will be ejected or the tray will be closed.
activate external video
This window shows the status of the external video output as soon as the status has been changed by pbbuttonsd.
The window appears after someone has pressed one of the special keys or an event message has been received. After roundabout two seconds without any changes, the popup window vanishes again.
The client gives the user a visual feedback of the daemons background work and displays those events to the user that the daemon believes the user should know about. It wont run without a running daemon.
Enhancements:
- Minor bug fix. GtkPBButtons will play sound again and doesnt block the sound device anymore when lauched as daemon.

cryptmount project is a utility for GNU/Linux operating systems which allows an ordinary user to mount an encrypted filesystem.
cryptmount was written to address differences between the capabilities of the loopback device and the newer, preferred, device-mapper mechanisms of the 2.6 kernel series, which make it more difficult for a non-root user to configure the devices necessary for access to an encrypted filesystem.
After the initial configuration of the encrypted filesystem, an ordinary user can mount and unmount the filesystem on demand, solely by providing the decryption password.
Enhancements:
- A new interactive tool to assist with initial setup of encrypted filesystems, support for reading/writing OpenSSL key files via libgcrypt, facilities for translating between key files stored in different formats, and support for improved dismantling of loopback filesystems during system shutdown.

Ingres::Utility::IIMonitor is a Perl API to iimonitor Ingres RDBMS utility.

SYNOPSIS

use Ingres::Utility::IIMonitor;

# create a connection to an IIDBMS server
# (server id can be obtained through Ingres::Utility::IINamu)
$foo = Ingres::Utility::IIMonitor->new($serverid);

# showServer() - shows server status
#
# is the server listening to new connections? (OPEN/CLOSED)
$status =$foo->showServer(LISTEN);
#
# is the server being shut down?
$status =$foo->showServer(SHUTDOWN);

# setServer() - sets server status
#
# stop listening to new connections
$status =$foo->setServer(CLOSED);
#
# start shutting down (wait for connections to close)
$status =$foo->setServer(SHUT);

# stop() - stops IIDBMS server (transactions rolled back)
#
$ret = $foo->stop();

# showSessions($target,$mode) - prepares to get sessions info
print $foo->showSessions(SYSTEM,FORMATTED);

# getSession() - get sessions call-after-call from previous showSessions()
while (%session = $foo->getSession()) {
print "Session ". $session{SESSION_ID} . ":n"
foreach $label, $value (%session) {
print "t$label:t$valuen" if ($label ne SESSION_ID);
}
}

This module provides an API to the iimonitor utility for Ingres RDBMS, which provides local control of IIDBMS servers and sessions (system and user conections).

Command Executor is an amaroK script which execute an internal command (e.g. stop playing) when reaches that entry. Sometimes it is useful to execute some external commands (e.g. shutdown) when playing reached a certain place (e.g. end of album).

This script does the job. If amaroK starts playing a track from the "Shell Command" album, this script executes the comment tag of the track as a shell command.

You need some prepared audio files, with correctly filled tags. There are three .ogg files enclosed for stop playing, shutdown and hibernate the computer.

The project aims to develop an intelligent playlist for the KDE media player Noatun. Intelligent in the sense that songs are selected from a (possibly large) repository of audio files in a smart manner. Think of it as your personal radio station that plays your favourite songs all day long.
Main features:
- Fast synchronization of on-disk song libraries
- Multi-level queues
- Automatic and manual rating of songs
- Several song selection stragies
- Preview of selected songs
- Customizable user interface through dockable windows
- Fast incremental searching
- Support for multiple playlists
Enhancements:
New Features:
- Added setting to allow multiline cells for comments which fixes bug
- #1173628.
- Added setting to select the items that show up as search results, so they can be easily enqueued or dragged to a another list.
- Added shortcut F5 for updating a playlist and shortcut Ctrl+F5 for updating all playlists.
- Added setting to remove items from the Preview when they are played or enqueued from there.
- The currently played item is also highlighted in the History where it is
- the topmost item.
Fixed bugs:
- Fixed same item being played twice in a row in "Adaptive Learning" play mode, by commenting out randomness.
- Fixed bug #1281276 which caused an assertion failure in KDE library code.
- Fixed last item before shutdown showing up twice in History.
- Fixed last item before shutdown not being played after startup although the respective setting is set.
Changes:
- Reactivated "Loop in Queue" feature.

Sanos is a minimalistic 32-bit x86 OS kernel for Java based server appliances running on standard PC hardware.
This enables you to run java server applications without the need to install a traditional host operating system like Windows or Linux. Only a standard Java HotSpot VM and the sanos kernel are needed.
The kernel was developed as part of an experiment on investigating the feasibility of running java server applications without a traditional operating system only using a simple kernel.
The kernel implements basic operating system services like booting, memory management, thread scheduling, local and remote file systems, TCP/IP networking and DLL loading and linking.
A win32 layer allows the Windows version of the standard HotSpot JVM to run under sanos, essentially providing a JavaOS platform for server applications. This enables you to run java based server applications, like tomcat and jboss, under sanos.
Alternatively, you can use sanos as a small kernel for embedded server applications written in C. Sanos has a fairly standard POSIX based API and an ANSI Standard C library. In this case you dont need the JVM and the win32 wrappers.
Sanos is open source under a BSD style license. Please see the COPYING file for details.
Click on the topics below for further information, or send me an e-mail if you have any questions, comments or problems regarding sanos. Please include the word sanos in the mail to prevent it from being intercepted by my spam filter.
Sanos can be downloaded as either binary or source. All the files in the binary version can be built from the source version, so you do not need the binary version, if you are building sanos from source.
The binary version contains the compiled version of sanos, with files and utilities for making a boot disk.
The source version contains all the source code and build files for building sanos from source. You will need a Microsoft Visual C compiler to build sanos from source.
Enhancements:
- GetLogicalDrives() in kernel32 implemented.
- A bug in cmd_ipconfig() in sh.c prevented proper display of network configuration if no DNS servers was configured. This problem has been fixed. (FGA)
- New -a option added to mkdfs to support file lists with alternative files names. This simplifies configurations with both debug and release builds.
- The Visual Studio wizard can now generate a floppy disk boot image configured for the application.
- Shell prompt can be configured by setting the prompt property in the [shell] section of the os.ini file.
- If command line arguments are given to the shell it now executes the built-in command and exits the shell.
- The floppy motor timeout routine now acquires the floppy mutex before turning off the motor in order to prevent race conditions.
- Advanced Power Management (APM) support implemented. The computer can now be powered off after os shutdown. The mode parameter for exitos() can be used to specify the shutdown mode (halt, reboot, poweroff, debug). A shutdown command has been added to the shell. The power status can be retrieved using /proc/apm.
- Added /proc/cpu for CPU information.
- The raise() function now returns an error if the signal number is invalid.
- Breakpoint traps are now sent to the user mode signal handler. This allows breakpoints to be handled by user mode code.
- Signals now exits the currently executing job with the signal number as exit code. However, if the debug flag in the PEB is set the debugger is entered if an unhandled signal is encountered. The debug flag can be set using the debug command in the shell. The debug flag can be configured using the debug property in the [os] section of os.ini. The default value of the debug flag is 0, unless the system is build in debug configuration.
- readv() and writev() implemented in vfs.
- The kernel log is now implemented by the device driver /dev/klog. The kernel log now support ioctl for waiting for new log entries in the kernel log. The kprintf has been extended to support different log levels.
- The syslog interface has been redesigned in to comply with POSIX. The syslog now supports logging to a syslog server by setting the loghost property in the [os] section of os.ini.
- New klog daemon to read entries from the kernel log (/dev/klog) and add them to the system log.
- The sockaddr and sockaddr_in structures has been change to conform to winsock definitions.
- The sleep() function has been renamed to msleep(). A new POSIX conformant sleep function has been added to unistd.h.
- Added sys/time.h header file. Also added tzp parameter to gettimeofday() for POSIX compliance.
- New simple text editor utility (edit.exe) added.
- The syserror() function has been moved from libc.lib to the os.dll as an exported os api call.
- readline() now uses stdin and stdout for input and output.
- Bug in iomux fixed. Now a monitored event signals the iomux and not the associated object.
- Implemented popen() and pclose(). Also added a P_SUSPEND parameter to spawn() to allow new jobs to be started suspended.
- The kernel version information is now kept in a version resource in krnl.dll. The version information is retrieved using the new module version information functions in verinfo.c.
- The build type can now be controlled by compile time switches. The kernel version can be displayed in the Windows Explorer by viewing Properties for krnl.dll and selecting the Version tab.
- User management added to kernel. Each thread is now assigned to a user and a group. A thread has both a real and an effective user and group owner. The {get|set}[e]{uid|gid}() functions can be used to change the effective and real user and group for a thread. When a new thread is created the effective user and group are inherited from the creator thread.
- Added functions to query /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
- New whoami, id, chmod, and chown commands added to shell. The format of the output from ls has been changed to display the file permission info.
- New file system version for DFS. The new version supports user and group owner for files and directories as well as permission bits. The new DFS version also supports files larger than 2GB. The fchown() and chown() functions has been added to vfs.
- DES-based crypt() implementation added.
- The spawn() function now computes the pgm parameter from the cmdline parameter if the pgm parameter is NULL. The initpgm and initargs properties in the [os] section of /etc/os.ini has been replaced with a single property named init. The default for init has been changed to /bin/sh.
- The behavour of the initial application has been changed. Previously the os shut down after the initial application exited. Now the initial application is executed again if it exits.
- Telnet daemon moved from the shell to separate server (telnetd.exe). The new telnet daemon has a more robust handling of the telnet protocol. The telnet daemon invokes the new login utlity in order to log on user.
- FTP daemon implemented.

tzoperl is a Perl Client-Daemon for TZO DDNS Services. The service works with dial-up, DSL, Cable Modems, ISDN, and most types of connections that get you connected to the Internet.
The TZO Perl v2 is the preferred TZO client as it requires no compilation of code.. just run the text-based wizard installer to configure. You may install TZO Perl v2 as a system daemon/service for automatically start during system boot-up.
This client is tested and has full installer support for Redhat Linux, Apple Mac OS X, Sun Solaris and FreeBSD. Other versions of Linux and UNIX are also supported (including versions of Cobolt that TZO does not have a special package for).
This code is released under the GPL license and may be modified for additional software platforms. Experimental (limited) support exists for other UNIX, Microsoft Windows (ActiveState Perl), MacPerl and Novell.
TZO offers Domain Registration Services and Dynamic Domain Registration Service (Official Registrar), SMTP Mail Store and Forward, and Web Hosting options for users with
Static or Dynamic IP Addresses(you can host multiple virtual domains with your one IP Address). TZO also allows for DNS Hosting/Parking Services for Cable and DSL users as well as standard ethernet and PPP. Host Private Domains on your Linux Server with a Dynamic IP Address. Private Domains are less that $60 per year if your domain is already registered!
Enhancements:
- Fixed file collision bug (TZO v. tzo) occuring on Apple OSX and Microsoft Windows.
- WIN32: Moved some file-path targets into a hash array to make future Windows/other OS support easier. Lots more needs to be done.
- Some cleanup of the code flagged future code updates with comments. Created TODO file.
- OSX: Created README.osx in osx folder
- OSX: Fixed StartupItems TZO file to work more in line with other OSX startup scripts. The script does not handle Shutdown and restart commands properly (yet), but the actual tzo daemon can be shut down using tzo -q.
- OSX: Moved INIT script from /System/Library/StartupItems to /Library/StartupItems
-
