This package provides a way to figure out which processes communicate with which other processes. It provides more usable versions of ps, top and pstree.

GNU pies is a program that supervises the invocation and execution of other programs. It reads the list of programs to be started from its configuration file, executes them, and then monitors their status, re-executing them as necessary.

The Ansible roles provided by that can be used to manage Debian or Ubuntu hosts. In addition, a default set of Ansible playbooks can be used to apply the provided roles in a controlled way, using Ansible inventory groups.

The roles are written with a high customization in mind, which can be done using Ansible inventory. This way the role and playbook code can be shared between multiple environments, with different configuration in to each one.

Services can be managed on a single host, or spread between multiple hosts. DebOps provides support for different SQL and NoSQL databases, web servers, programming languages and specialized applications useful in a data center environment or in a cluster. The project can also be used to deploy virtualization environments using KVM/libvirt, Docker or LXC technologies to manage virtual machines and/or containers.

Doas is a minimal replacement for the venerable sudo. It was initially written by Ted Unangst of the OpenBSD project to provide 95% of the features of sudo with a fraction of the codebase.

LaunchMON is a software infrastructure that enables HPC run-time tools to co-locate tool daemons with a parallel job. Its API allows a tool to identify all the remote processes of a job and to scalably launch daemons into the relevant nodes.

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

nnn is a fork of noice, a fast and minimal text terminal file browser with keyboard shortcuts for navigation, opening files and running tasks. There is no configuration file and MIME associations are hard-coded.

This package provides a minimal seat management daemon whose task is to mediate access to shared devices, such as graphics and input, for applications that require it.

Inxi is a system information script that can display various things about your hardware and software to users in an IRC chatroom or support forum. It runs with the /exec command in most IRC clients.

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

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.

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 provides a curated set of community-maintained Ansible collections, which contain playbooks, roles, modules and plugins that extend Ansible.

The Linux Thermal Daemon helps monitor and control temperature on systems running the Linux kernel.

GNU Alive sends periodic pings to a server, generally to keep a connection alive.

Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat, netstat, and ifstat. Dstat overcomes some of their limitations and adds some extra features, more counters and flexibility. Dstat is handy for monitoring systems during performance tuning tests, benchmarks or troubleshooting.

Dstat allows you to view all of your system resources in real-time, you can, e.g., compare disk utilization in combination with interrupts from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval).

GNU Radius is a server for remote user authentication and accounting. It is generally useful for networks that require a centralized authentication and accounting services for its workstations. Authentication can be performed in a variety of ways, such as via /etc/passwd or credentials stored in an SQL database.

This package provides a simple, configurable system information tool.

ngrep is like GNU grep applied to the network layer. It's a PCAP-based tool that allows you to specify an extended regular or hexadecimal expression to match against data payloads of packets. It understands many kinds of protocols, including IPv4/6, TCP, UDP, ICMPv4/6, IGMP and Raw, across a wide variety of interface types, and understands BPF filter logic in the same fashion as more common packet sniffing tools, such as tcpdump and snoop.

Prips can be used to print all of the IP addresses in a given range. This allows the enhancement of tools only work on one host at a time (e.g. whois).

lr is a tool for generating file listings, which includes the best features of ls(1), find(1), stat(1) and du(1).

This package provides a daemon for checking running and not running processes. It reads the /proc directory every n seconds and does a POSIX regexp on the process names. The daemon runs a user-provided script when it detects a program in the running processes, or an alternate script if it doesn't detect the program. The daemon can only be called by the root user, but can use sudo -u user in the process called if needed.

This package provides a universal seat management library that allows applications to use whatever seat management is available.

Shadow provides a number of authentication-related tools, including: login, passwd, su, groupadd, and useradd.

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.
