Free turn watcher software for linux

ps-watcher monitors various processes based on ps-like information. ps-watcher runs the ps command periodically and triggers commands on matches.
The match patterns are Perl regular expressions which can refer to the process information via variables.
Installation:
The `configure shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation.
It uses those values to create a `Makefile in each directory of the package. It may also create one or more `.h files containing system-dependent definitions.
Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file `config.cache that saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure).
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README so they can be considered for the next release.
If at some point `config.cache contains results you dont want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
The file `configure.in is used to create `configure by a program called `autoconf. You only need `configure.in if you want to change it or regenerate `configure using a newer version of `autoconf.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system.
If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean.
There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Enhancements:
- Some minimal Cygwin support was added, and support for other operating systems (NetBSD, OpenBSD, and OS X) was corrected.
- For security, there is aa --path option to limit the path used in running commands.
- Some bugs were fixed and the code was modernized a little.

mswatch project is a command line unix program that keeps two mailboxes synchronized more efficiently and with shorter delays than periodically synchronizing the two mailboxes.
mswatch watches mailboxes to know when to initiate mailbox syncs. Using mswatch, your mail synchronization program can be called on demand instead of through polling, resulting in prompter mail delivery and lower bandwidth usage and server load.
mswatch is designed to work in conjunction with mailbox synchronization programs, currently supports watching Linux (2.4+) hosted Maildirs (including Maildir folders, Maildir++), and is licensed under the GNU GPL. Future support for additional mailbox formats, especially for mbox, is planned.
Why mswatch
Keeping a set of mailboxes on multiple computers means keeping the copies synchronized (eg on ones desktop and laptop or on a personal computer that can not be reached while on the road an always-reachable server). While the IMAP protocol is designed to support this and is widely used, IMAP clients can only detect mailbox changes by querying the server.
Thus clients generally either sync when the user requests or sync periodically. However, because each mailbox sync uses server and network resources and because users often have a number of mailboxes, many of which receive mail infrequently, one must compromise between prompt message delivery and low server and network resource usage. Typical practice is to sync only when the user requests or to sync periodically with 5-10 minute frequencies. Nonetheless, it is often helpful for users to see new mail fairly soon after its arrival (eg notifications, group meeting changes, or active conversation threads).
mswatch addresses this speed of delivery vs resource usage tradeoff using interrupt-based instead of polling behavior to detect mailbox changes. mswatch asks each of the two mailstores to send mailbox change notifications; when mswatch receives a notification it in turn invokes the users mailbox synchronization program for the changed mailbox. Thus, idle mailboxes do not use active resources and prompt mailbox synchronization is efficient.
Version restrictions:
- Because mswatch abstracts mail changes and synchronization to the mailbox (instead of message) level and because mail watcher communication is one-way, extra mailbox syncs occur. While it would be great to avoid this extra work, it is in the noise compared to the number of empty syncs that polling accumulates.
For example, the case of new mail delivered to the mail servers INBOX:
(1) mswatch detects the changed server INBOX
(2) mswatch invokes the mail syncer for INBOX, which adds the mail to the local INBOX
(3) mswatch detects the changed local INBOX
(4) mswatch invokes the mail syncer for INBOX, which detects no changes
Thus two syncs occur in this case instead of the single necessary sync.
Enhancements:
- Per-mailbox inter-sync delays were added to rarely sync high volume mailboxes and quickly sync important mailboxes.
- Inter-sync delays are allowed to be greater than the maximum error delay.
- mswatch now prints the names of pending mailboxes upon receiving SIGUSR1.

TorK project offers a CD that allows you to use TorK on any computer.

This is a so-called LiveCD. You put it in the CD-Rom drive, turn on your computer and within a few minutes you will be using a Linux system with TorK and Tor running on it. The CD works without installing anything on the computer you use it on.

The CD is still experimental and not feature complete. It may not even be fully secure yet.

Stormbaan Coureur is a simulated obstacle course for automobiles. n this game, your objective is to drive your car along an obstacle course. Success depends on total control of the car, and making use of the laws of physics.
Enhancements:
- New name
- Extended track with half pipe jump
- Extended track with turn tables
- Fixed joystick accelerator axis assigment
- Softened the suspension
- Added brake-light
- Added reverse-gear-light
- Improved leaderboard
- Added respawn points

Math::ODE Perl module allows you to solve N-th Order Ordinary Differential Equations with as little pain as possible.

Currently, only IVPs (initial value problems) are supported, but native support for BVPs (boundary value problems) may be added in the future. To solve N-th order equations, you must first turn it into a system of N first order equations, as in MATLAB.

The Merchant is a turn based RPG in which you explore the universe and trade to earn credits and experience.

The Merchant is implemented as a Web application.

The Merchant is still in the alpha stages, so the game is not complete but you may create an account and login.

Please play the game and help in the search for bugs.
