automated package list synchronization

pkgsync

automated package list synchronization

pkgsync is a tool for keeping multiple machines reasonably similar and clean. Packages can either be in a `must be installed', `may be installed' or `must not be installed' list (which is presumed to be distributed separately using a tool such as rdist or cfengine). pkgsync will take care of meeting the demands put down in the lists, and then removing everything that is not in the `must' or `may' list and is not necessary for their operations (as determined by aptitude).
eventstat -k (report just kernel threads)

eventstat

kernel event states monitoring tool

Eventstat periodically dumps out the current kernel event state. It keeps track of current events and outputs the change in events on each output update. The tool requires sudo to run since it needs to write to /proc/timer_stats to start and stop the event monitoring.

visual-regexp

Interactively debug regular expressions

visual-regexp helps to design, debug or more generally work with the perl regular expressions. Since it is often difficult to write the right regexp on the first attempt, this tool will show the effect of regexp on a sample that can be selected.

saves time typing when you want to change directories

wcd

saves time typing when you want to change directories

Wcd (Wherever Change Directory) is a program to quickly change directories. It saves time typing at the keyboard. One needs to type only a part of a directory name and wcd will jump to it. By default, wcd searches for a directory with a name that begins with what has been typed, but the use of wildcards is also fully supported.
