Ingres::Utility::IINamu is a Perl API to iinamu Ingres RDBMS utility.

SYNOPSIS

List registered INGRES (IIDBMS) services:

use Ingres::Utility::IINamu;

my $foo = Ingres::Utility::IINamu->new();

# list all INGRES-type servers (iidbms)
print $foo->show(INGRES);

# process each server separately
while (my @server = $foo->getServer()) {

print "Server type: $server[0]tname:$server[1]tid:$server[2]";

if (defined($server[3])) {

print "t$server[3]";

}

print "n";

}

# stop IIGCN server (no more connections to all of Ingres services)
$ret = $foo->stop();

...

This module provides an API to the iinamu utility for Ingres RDBMS, which provides local interaction and control of IIGCN server, in charge of registering all Ingres services.

Through this interface, it is possible to obtain a list of all registered services, for later processing (eg. iimonitor), and also stopping the IIGCN server (EXTREME CAUTION: Ingres may need to be restarted!).

Enhancements:
- The Google configuration was updated.

The mkCDrec utilities are optional for mkCDrec itself, but are an added value for rescue and recovery purposes.

The utilities are staticly compiled and include parted, memtest, partimage, gpart, and recover. Memtest86 is also available for memory testing.

To improve the added value of your recovery/rescue CD-ROM. You will notice that links from mkCDrec CD-ROM are foreseen to the /cdrom/utilities part of the CD-ROM and that man pages of these tools are already available within mkCDrec main toolset.

Without installing the utilities you cannot use them (obvious), but it will not break any other functionality of the mkCDrec tools. Therefore, a full restore remains possible (and disk cloning too), but you will not be able to resize a partition afterwards to name something.

Most of these utilities were compiled as static binaries, therefore, you can use those tools seperately too. If you know any tool which could useful to be included, please let me know... Since mkCDrec_utils_v0.5.7 you will notice that mkCDrec will use isolinux to boot from the CD-ROM instead of using syslinux floppy boot emulation.

But, this will only work if you use mkCDrec_v0.5.7 (or higher) as isolinux was first introduced in v0.5.7.

Parted

The famous Partition Editor of GNU software. The User Manual of parted is already part of mkCDrec.

Memtest

An excellent memory testing tool.

Partition Image

A tool to make/restore partition of msdos/vfat/ext2/reiserfs file systems. The primary purpose to include this tool is to allow a restore of old partition images made by this tool.

Gpart

Guess partition does what it implies. It can even recover destroyed partition tables, and therefore, maybe preventing a full restore. Useful in case if you do not make a mkcdrec on a regular basis.

Recover

An excellent tool to edit an EXT2 file system to recover lost files.

e2salvage

e2salvage is a utility which tries to recover a data from damaged ext2 partition. It may be used when e2fsck does not recover the broken ext2 filesystem. Before trying this tool read the man page (man e2salvage).

ext2resize

ext2resize, ext2prepare and ext2online are useful tools. ext2resize can increase (or decrease) the size of an unmounted ext2 filesystem. Be aware for ext2online one need a kernel patch (not likely installed). By the way, ext2resize does work too on an Ext3 filesystem! Be aware, one needs to apply S. Tweedies kernel patch (ext3) and an updated ext2 filesystem e2fprogs-1.20 or higher (which are ext3 aware). Last 2 requirements are of course only needed in case if you want to work with ext3 filesystems.

memtest86

Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone memory test for x86 architecture computers. BIOS based memory tests are only a quick check and often miss many of the failures that are detected by Memtest86.

chntpw

The offline NT password editor (chntpw) is a little program wich enables you to view and change passwords in a Windows NT SAM user database. For example,

Installation

# cd mkcdrec; tar zxvf mkCDrec_v0.7.9_utils.tar.gz
# ls -l utilities

Illimitux 1.0 is yet another extremely useful utility for video maniacs. It can actually helps you embed many videos hosted in famous streaming platforms in your website, without having knowledge about HTML codes. This tool supports over 20 platforms such as Youtube, Vimeo, Megaupload, etc.

NAND Flash Utilities is a set of utilities for accessing NAND Flash through an IDE interface.

These utilities work with the Linux MTD subsystem to allow developing, testing, and experimenting of NAND Flash on a PC.

Iris is a video conversion utility in C++ that works as a front-end to mencoder. Iris Video Conversion Utility can run in command-line or graphical modes and currently supports conversion to DVD MPEG, DivX AVI and VCD MPEG
This software intends to ease video conversion to common formats.
Help Wanted / TODO
- Cancel button does not always work
- More output formats
- Reset values for command-line format paramater
- re-work stderr redirection
- catch and identify mencoder conditions

Email Administration Utility provides an IMAP-based email account management utility.
The Email Administration Utilities package can be used to manage email accounts with a series of PHP-based scripts through a browser.
Addition, Removal, and modification of accounts is possible as long as an IMAP port is available on the mail server.
The Mailadmin project was originally designed to help owners of domains that were hosted by Hub.Org Networking Services. The company wanted users to be able to create, remove or modify email accounts when ever they wanted, giving them a quicker turnaround for Mail Administration Purposes.
As the utility was developed, tested and matured into what it is today, many users requested more features or contributed reports of issues to help improve the utilities stability. Hub.Org has given me permission to release the utility as an Open Source package so that others may also benifit from the simplicity that the Mailadmin utility offers to those who need complete control over email accounts.
With this in mind, I intend to continue development by adding new features as they are requested and fix any issues that may pop up. The more users who use and test the features that the Mailadmin utility offers will help to improve the functionality offered by Mailadmin. I have opened a Sourceforge account to help manage the development and releases of the utility as it matures into what users and developers see the Mailadmin to be.
Main features:
- Administrator:
- Adding/Deleting Email accounts.
- Setting Account Quotas.
- Obtaining Administrative Access Over Older Accounts.
- Changing An Accounts Password.
- Interfaces with the Cyrus IMAP/POP3 server.
- Transaction Log system, allowing you to track changes or to help debug issues.
- Standard User:
- Changing The Accounts Password.
- In Development:
- Transaction Log system, allowing you to track changes or to help debug issues.
