The ACPICA project provides an OS-independent reference implementation of the ACPI specification. ACPICA code contains those portions of ACPI meant to be directly integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem, and a small set of tools to assist in developing and debugging ACPI tables.

This package contains only the user-space tools needed for ACPI table development, not the kernel implementation of ACPI.

doctl provides a unified command line interface to the DigitalOcean API.

MASSCAN is an asynchronous TCP port scanner. It can detect open ports, and also complete the TCP connection and interact with the remote application, collecting the information received.

This package provides tools to manage clients of the Logitech Unifying Receiver.

Netcat is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities.

This package contains the OpenBSD rewrite of netcat, including support for IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets.

stress-ng stress-tests a computer system by exercising both physical subsystems as operating system kernel interfaces. It can stress the CPU, cache, disk, memory, socket and pipe I/O, scheduling, and much more, in various selectable ways. This can trip hardware issues such as thermal overruns as well as operating system bugs that occur only when a system is being thrashed hard.

You can also measure test throughput rates, which can be useful to observe performance changes across different operating system releases or types of hardware. However, stress-ng is not a benchmark. Use it with caution: some of the tests can make poorly designed hardware run dangerously hot or make the whole system lock up.

Compared to its inspiration, stress, stress-ng offers many additional options such as the number of bogo operations to run, execution metrics, verification of memory and computational operations, and considerably more stress mechanisms.

The GNU Shepherd is a daemon-managing daemon, meaning that it supervises the execution of system services, replacing similar functionality found in typical init systems. It provides dependency-handling through a convenient interface and is based on GNU Guile.

Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes. It's a Python port and continuation of bashtop.

Provides a DHCP and a DHCPv6 client. Additionally, dhcpcd is also an IPv4LL (aka ZeroConf) client. In layperson's terms, dhcpcd runs on your machine and silently configures your computer to work on the attached networks without trouble and mostly without configuration.

Sysdig is a simple tool for deep system visibility, with native support for containers. It combines features of multiple system administration tools such as the strace, tcpdump, htop, iftop and lsof into a single interface. The novel architecture of the tool means that the performance impact of the tracing on the system is very light, compared to the likes of strace. The sysdig command has an interface similar to strace, while the csysdig command is better suited for interactive used, and has a user interface similar to htop.

If you use Guix System, the kernel Linux has BPF support, and you should launch this tool using the --modern-bpf argument of the sysdig or csysdig commands. The following Bash aliases can be added to your ~/.bash_profile file, for example:

alias sysdig=sudo sysdig --modern-bpf alias cysdig=sudo csysdig --modern-bpf

vmtouch is a tool for learning about and controlling the file system cache of unix and unix-like systems.

Runitor runs the supplied command, captures its output, and based on its exit code reports successful or failed execution to https://healthchecks.io or your private instance.

Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes.

Jnettop is a traffic visualiser, which captures traffic going through the host it is running from and displays streams sorted by bandwidth they use.

Ansible aims to be a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible facilitates complex changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers. This package is the core of Ansible, which provides the following commands:

• ansible

• ansible-config

• ansible-connection

• ansible-console

• ansible-doc

• ansible-galaxy

• ansible-inventory

• ansible-playbook

• ansible-pull

• ansible-test

• ansible-vault

Netcat is a featured networking utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using the TCP/IP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities.

This package provides a graphical disk usage analyzer in text mode.

Bfs is a variant of the UNIX find command that operates breadth-first rather than depth-first. It is otherwise compatible with many versions of find, including POSIX, GNU, and *BSD find.

Fastfetch is a tool for fetching system information and displaying it in a stylized way. Fastfetch displays this information next to a logo of the system distribution, akin to many similar tools.

This package provides udev bindings for Python.

dfc (df color) is a modern version of df. It uses colors, draws pretty graphs and can export its output to different formats.

This package provides a command-line UEFI image editor, including cbfs, create-ffs, fmap, fspinfo, glzma, guid2english, microcode and utk CLI utilities.

This package provides the hcloud binary, a command-line interface for interacting with the Hetzner Cloud service.

Utility to convert lsof output to a graph showing FIFO and UNIX interprocess communication.
