Free what is the heart of darkness software for linux

The Eye Of Horus is a monitoring and alerting tool for computers. Its mainly useful for monitoring network services (eg, HTTP or SMTP servers) and the internal status of Unix servers (eg, load, disk usage, process counts).

In that respect, its a lot like Nagios, but in my opinion its better. It lacks a few features Nagios has, but it is a very simple architecture to which they can easily be added.

Its a flexible thing made from independent modules with well-defined interfaces, making it easy to customise and extend, but out of the box itll monitor your servers and produce a nice HTML summary of their status - OK, the looks need a bit of work, but that will come soon, and it can optionally integrate with the excellent (and I mean excellent) RRDTool to store logs of statistics (response times, number of packages with known security holes, etc) - and link from the status page to nice graphs of the historical behaviour of these statistics.

HOW IT WORKS

The core of the system is horus-check.py, a Python script which reads a configuration file (specified on the command line). The configuration file specifies a list of services - either network services, in which case the host to run the check from and the host to run the check at are specified, or local services, in which case only the host to run the check from need be specified. In either case, if the host to run the check from is not specified, then it defaults to the local host.

The service types reference definitions in a file which is referenced from the configuration file. In the service definitions file, a shell command to check the service is given; this command must output service status in a defined format, as a single-line YAML list. The list must contain, at least, a single-word status (OK, WARNING, FAILURE, or UNKNOWN), then optionally numeric statistics, then optionally a status message. For example:

[OK]
[UNKNOWN]
[OK, { load: 0.5, users: 3 }]
[WARNING, { load: 3, users: 30 }]
[FAILURE, { load: 95, users: 300 }]
[UNKNOWN, { }, Could not find AWK executable]

When a check is to be performed from a remote host, Horus opens an ssh connection to that host. It is assumed that the user horus is run as will have an ssh key set up to enable it to ssh to all such hosts without requiring a password.

Having performed the checks, horus-check.py then:

Reads in the status database named in the configuration file
Updates the status database with the new status of hosts
Computes an overall system status (the worst non-unknown status of any checked service)
Examines the service dependencies, and marks any service whose state is no worse than might be expected (eg, no worse than the worst state of a service it depends upon) are automatically marked as quiet
Computes a list of differences between the old and new status (services added, services removed, services whose status has improved, services whose status has worsened)
If there are any differences, invokes a notification script (named in the configuration file) with them, along with the overall status
Invokes a logging script (named in the configuration file) with the new value of every statistic reported by the service checks; I will soon provide a sample logging script that uses RRDTool to generate nice graphs.

The status database (which is written in YAML, so easily accessible to user scripts) can then be used to generate HTML status report (see status.cgi).

The Ace of Penguins is a set of Unix/X solitaire games based on the ones available for Windows(tm) but with a number of enhancements that my wife says make my versions better.

The latest version includes clones of freecell, golf, mastermind, merlin, minesweeper, pegged, solitaire, taipei (with editor!), and thornq (by Martin Thornquist).

Installation:

To install the binaries tar, do this as user root (other platforms are similar):

cd /usr/bin/X11
tar xvfz /tmp/ace-1.2.linux.tar.gz
tar cf - libcards.so* | (cd /usr/local/lib ; tar xf -)
rm libcards.so*

You will need to run ldconfig to notice the new shared libraries.

Then you can open a new shell window and type the name of the program you want at the command line to run it.

Way of The Warrior: Sons of Twilight is a Web-based boardgame of fantasy battle. Like a boardgame, it is turn based and at least 2 players are neeed, but there is no upper limit on the number of players.
Way Of The Warrior: Sons of twilight is fully and easily customizable, from the unit to the board tile.
Enhancements:
- board visualization is now good
- sincronization algoritm for the save process

The Library of Assorted Spiffy Things was originally designed as a companion library to Eterm.
However, it contains many features that other projects may find useful, so it has been broken out into its own library.
Features include thorough debugging and memory tracking engines, various string manipulation functions, and a flexible config file parsing engine.
Enhancements:
- The string class is now both an interface and an implementation, so parallel implementations (e.g., a glib string wrapper) can be created.
- Detection of Imlib2 support and a pixmap leak when it was disabled have been fixed.
- Fixes have been made for gcc4/newer autotools.
- This release also contains a fix for CVE-2006-0224, a buffer overflow which could lead to privilege escalation in setuid/setgid apps using LibASTs configuration engine.

Heart of The Alien Redux project is a complete rewrite of game Heart of The Alien.

This game was rewritten modern computers and consoles.

Heart of The Alien is the sequel for the undoubtably the best adventure of all times, Another World. Developed back in 1994 by Interplay exclusively for the Sega CD console.

This is an open-source project which aims to bring this highly-addictive game to all modern consoles and computer platforms.

Neverwinter Nights (NWN) is a computer game set in a huge medieval fantasy world of Dungeons and Dragons. Neverwinter Nights puts you at the center of an epic tale of faith, war, and betrayal.

As a player, you are able to choose what skills and abilities you will develop as you voyage though the complex and dangerous fantasy world of Forgotten Realms.

Neverwinter Nights allows you to create your own worlds. This revolutionary game will come with all the tools needed to construct your own unique lands of adventure. The Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset allows even novice users to construct everything from a quiet, misty forest or a dripping cavern of foul evil, to a kings court. All the monsters, items, set pieces and settings are there for world builders to use. But do not stop there; construct traps, encounters, custom monsters and magic items to make your adventure unique.

But the Neverwinter experience is not just for one person- adventure with all your friends. Neverwinter Nights can be played online with up to 64 friends, all sharing in the adventure. You can organize and run your own adventures through the role of the Dungeon Master and control all the monsters, creatures and characters your friends meet as they journey on their quest. A powerful piece of software that is included with Neverwinter Nights, the DM Client, allows nearly unlimited control for running your own adventures for your friends.

Neverwinter Nights…endless adventure!
