VFU is console (text mode) file manager for UNIX/Linux.

During the years I tried to make short attractive list of features which VFU has. Attractive as Advertising above :) and it does not seem to work... at least it didnt for me and I never liked it.

I made all possible to make VFU cover all file managing needs and offer large set of behaviour options. If I succeeded or not, you can decide for yourself but without trying I believe noone can say for sure.

Installation:

1. how to compile vfu

run `make from vfu base directory

this should compile everything

to compile each part of vfu manually do this:

-- go to `vslib directory
-- run `make
-- go to `vfu directory
-- run `make

if something goes wrong, check these:

-- if your `curses.h file locations is not `/usr/include/ncurses
you have to change this in the Makefile.

-- if vslib library is not in the `../vslib directory you also
have to change this in the Makefile.

2. how to install vfu

run `install script from vfu base directory

install script checks if all required files are available/built and then does this:

cp vfu/vfu rx/rx_* /usr/local/bin
cp vfu.1 /usr/local/man/man1
cp vfu.conf /usr/local/etc

3. how to install vfu manually

-- you have to copy `vfu in the `/usr/local/bin or
`/usr/bin directory and set mode to 755 `rwxr-xr-x
the owner is not significant ( root is also possible ).

-- there is preliminary man page ( vfu.1 ) which could be
copied to /usr/man/man1.

-- copy all `rx/rx_* tools to /usr/local/bin
-- install Net::FTP perl module if needed.
(this is used for FTP support)

WARNING: make sure to remove all old personal cache files!

Gdump is a very very simple netool with WHOIS an NETSTAT developed in Gambas..so depends on it.

required netstat and whois in the standard PATH=/usr/bin

This is my first application..hope to improve myself sorry.

Interface and languages are subject to improvement too.

Tnx to Linux-pro for help in code...

svcmon project is a versatile TCP service watchdog, that can optionally send email alerts when services are detected as being down.

svcmon is written using Perl, and requires a few "standard" Perl modules, which should be included as part of your base Perl installation:

Net::SMTP
IO::Socket
Getopt::Std

Installation:

Download the tarball, and extract to an appropriate location, e.g.:

# cd /usr/local
# wget http://www.zazzybob.com/svcmon/svcmon.tar.gz
# tar xzf ./svcmon.tar.gz
# ls ./svcmon
README bin etc

There are TWO configuration files (discussed below):

# cd /usr/local/svcmon
# ls etc
svcmail.conf svcmon.conf

Ensure that svcmon.pl is executable before continuing:

# chmod u+x /usr/local/svcmon/bin/svcmon.pl
