Package: chiark-utils-bin (7.0.3)

chiark system administration utilities

This package contains a number of small administration scripts used by chiark.greenend.org.uk and other systems belonging to the Sinister Greenend Organisation. Currently featuring only:

with-lock-ex: a simple tool for acquiring a lockfile before running another program or script.

prefork-interp: Wrapper to speed up script startup; requires scripting langauge module from chiark-scripts.

summer: a tool for reporting complete details about a filesystem tree in a parseable format, including checksums.

xbatmon-simple: a very simple X client for displaying battery charge status.

xduplic-copier: a very simple X client for typing into multiple windows at once.

watershed: a utility for saving on superfluous executions of an idempotent command. (This is the same utility as shipped separately in Ubuntu's udev, but with slightly different defaults and a different install location.)

rcopy-repeatedly: a utility for repeatedly copying a file from one host to another, to keep a copy constantly up to date.

acctdump: for reading process accounting files.

summer and watershed require the installation of the Recommended crypto libraries; xbatmon-simple needs the Suggested X libraries.

cgi-fcgi-interp: for use with cgi-fcgi as a #! interpreter
