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

Spindle is a tool for improving the performance of dynamic library and Python loading in HPC environments.

This package provides a simple, configurable system information tool.

hostapd is a user-space daemon for WiFi access points and authentication servers. It implements IEEE 802.11 access point management, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticators, RADIUS client, EAP server, and RADIUS authentication server.

HyFetch is a command-line system information tool fork of neofetch. HyFetch displays information about your system next to your OS logo in ASCII representation. The ASCII representation is then colored in the pattern of the pride flag of your choice. The main purpose of HyFetch is to be used in screenshots to show other users what operating system or distribution you are running, what theme or icon set you are using, etc.

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 a tiny system info utility.

This package provides a Perl interface (Perl::Rename) as well as a command-line utility (rename) that can rename multiple files at once based on a Perl regular expression.

Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a network discovery and security auditing tool. It is also useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. It also provides an advanced netcat implementation (ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (nping).

nettop is a traffic visualizer for the terminal that summarizes network bandwidth by process and remote host.

This is htop, an interactive process viewer. It is a text-mode application (for console or X terminals) and requires ncurses.

nq can create very lightweight job queue systems which require no setup, maintenance, supervision, or any long-running processes.

CoreCtrl allows you to control with ease your computer hardware using application profiles.

libpcap is an interface for user-level packet capture. It provides a portable framework for low-level network monitoring. Applications include network statistics collection, security monitoring, network debugging, etc.

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

daemonize runs a command as a Unix daemon. It will close all open file descriptors, change working directory of the process to the root filesystem, reset its umask, run in the background, ignore I/O signals, handle SIGCHLD, etc. Most programs that are designed to be run as daemons do that work for themselves. However, you’ll occasionally run across one that does not. When you must run a daemon program that does not properly make itself into a true Unix daemon, you can use daemonize to force it to run as a true daemon.

pscircle visualizes Linux processes in the form of a radial tree.

Atop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor for Linux that is capable of reporting the activity of all processes (even processes have finished during the monitoring interval), daily logging of system and process activity for long-term analysis, highlighting overloaded system resources by using colors, etc. At regular intervals, it shows system-level activity related to the CPU, memory, swap, disks (including LVM) and network layers, and for every process (and thread) it shows e.g. the CPU utilization, memory growth, disk utilization, priority, username, state, and exit code.

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.

wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant with support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client stations. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the WLAN driver.

This package provides the wpa_supplicant daemon and the wpa_cli command.

Fasd (pronounced similar to "fast") is a command-line productivity booster. Fasd offers quick access to files and directories for POSIX shells. It is inspired by tools like autojump, z, and v. Fasd keeps track of files and directories you have accessed so that you can quickly reference them in the command line.

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.

Shepherd-run is a script which assists in creating one-off shepherd services from the command line. It is meant to partially fill the void left by systemd-run, since GNU Guix uses GNU Shepherd as its system service manager.

jc JSONifies the output of many CLI tools and file-types for easier parsing in scripts.
