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.

This package provides an on demand system DBus service. It allows callers to configure network authentication and domain membership in a standard way. Realmd discovers information about the domain or realm automatically and does not require complicated configuration in order to join a domain or realm. Dbus system service that manages discovery and enrollment in realms/domains like Active Directory or IPA.

The Neighbor Discovery Protocol Proxy Daemon (ndppd) proxies some IPv6 NDP messages between interfaces to allow IPv6 routing between machines that are in the same network but not on the same local link. It currently only supports Neighbor Solicitation and Neighbor Advertisement messages.

Pam-mount is a PAM module to mount volumes when a user logs in. It can mount all local file systems supported by mount, as well as LUKS volumes encrypted with the user's log-in password.

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

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.

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

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 package provides a graphical console greeter for greetd. It doesn't need a Wayland compositor to be used.

Cpulimit limits the CPU usage of a process. It does not change the nice value or other scheduling priority settings, but the real CPU usage, and is able to adapt itself dynamically to the overall system load. Children processes and threads of the specified process may optionally share the same limits.

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

greetd is a minimal and flexible login manager daemon that makes no assumptions about what you want to launch.

If you can run it from your shell in a TTY, greetd can start it.

If it can be taught to speak a simple JSON-based IPC protocol, then it can be a greeter.

Dool is a command line tool to monitor many aspects of your system: CPU, Memory, Network, Load Average, etc. It also includes a robust plug-in architecture to allow monitoring other system metrics.

Inetutils is a collection of common network programs, such as an ftp client and server, a telnet client and server, an rsh client and server, and hostname.

The Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) is run on systems acting as IPv6 routers. It sends Router Advertisement messages specified by RFC 2461 periodically and when requested by a node sending a Router Solicitation message. These messages are required for IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration.

Interrobang is a scriptable launcher menu with a customizable shortcut syntax and completion options.

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.

This package provides a utility to flash a new firmware image to a Netgear device. It has been tested on Netgear EX2700, EX6120, EX6150v2, DNG3700v2, R6100, R6220, R7000, D7000, WNR3500, R6400, R6800, R8000, R8500, WNDR3800, but is likely to be compatible with many other Netgear devices.

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

AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a file and directory integrity checker. It creates a database from the regular expression rules that it finds from its configuration files. Once this database is initialized it can be used to verify the integrity of the files. It has several message digest algorithms that are used to check the integrity of files. All of the usual file attributes can be checked for inconsistencies.

wlgreet provides a greetd greeter that runs on a Wayland compositor such as sway. It is implemented with pure Wayland APIs, so it does not depend on a GUI toolkit.

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

Neofetch is a command-line system information tool written in Bash. Neofetch displays information about your system next to an image, your OS logo, or any ASCII file of your choice. The main purpose of Neofetch 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.

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.
