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.

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 graphical disk usage analyzer in text mode.

Pam-krb5 is a Kerberos PAM module for either MIT Kerberos or Heimdal. It supports ticket refreshing by screen savers, configurable authorization handling, authentication of non-local accounts for network services, password changing, and password expiration, as well as all the standard expected PAM features. It works correctly with OpenSSH, even with ChallengeResponseAuthentication and PrivilegeSeparation enabled, and supports extensive configuration either by PAM options or in krb5.conf or both. PKINIT is supported with recent versions of both MIT Kerberos and Heimdal and FAST is supported with recent MIT Kerberos.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Detox is a program that renames files to make them easier to work with under Unix and related operating systems. Spaces and various other unsafe characters (such as "$") get replaced with "_". ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) characters can be replaced as well, as can UTF-8 characters.

This package provides a tiny system info utility.

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

This package provides udev bindings for Python.

Iftop does for network usage what top does for CPU usage. It listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts.

Rdfind is a command line tool that finds duplicate files based on their content instead of their file names. It is useful for compressing backup directories or just finding duplicate files.

Btop++ provides unified monitoring of CPU, memory, network and processes.

GNU Rot[t]log is a program for managing log files. It is used to automatically rotate out log files when they have reached a given size or according to a given schedule. It can also be used to automatically compress and archive such logs. Rot[t]log will mail reports of its activity to the system administrator.

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

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