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.

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.

This package provides a system fetch tool, similar to neofetch, fastfetch, etc. It is lightweight and has a focus on performance. It can be used as a greeter by starting it from ~/.bashrc for example.

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

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.

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.

ISC's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) distribution provides a reference implementation of all aspects of DHCP, through a suite of DHCP tools: server, client, and relay agent.

This software is end-of-life! ISC does not intend to issue any further maintenance releases.

The Stress Terminal UI displays graphs of the CPU frequency, utilization, temperature and power.

Bash screenshot information tool which can be used to generate those nifty terminal theme information and ASCII distribution logos in everyone's screenshots nowadays.

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

Nmon is yet another system monitor useful in systems administration, debugging, tuning, and benchmarking.

The configurable ncurses interface displays all the classic resource usage statistics (CPU, memory, network, disk, ...) as real-time graphs or numbers. It can also list the processes responsible in a top-like table.

A less common nmon feature is its ability to create highly detailed log files in CSV format. These can be imported into spreadsheets or fed straight into an RRD using rrdtool for further analysis, or to create colourful graphs.

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.

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.

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.

This package provides programs that transfer files using the XMODEM/YMODEM/ZMODEM file transfer protocols.

Simple script to suspend or hibernate your computer. It supports hooks before and after suspending.

Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to delegate authority to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit trail of the commands and their arguments.

IGT GPU Tools is a collection of tools for development and testing of the Intel DRM driver. There are many macro-level test suites that get used against the driver, including xtest, rendercheck, piglit, and oglconform, but failures from those can be difficult to track down to kernel changes, and many require complicated build procedures or specific testing environments to get useful results. Therefore, IGT GPU Tools includes low-level tools and tests specifically for development and testing of the Intel DRM Driver.

This package provides a simple, configurable system information tool.

This package provides udev bindings for Python.

GNU acct provides a means for system administrators to determine system usage patterns. It provides information on, for example, connections, programs executed, and system resources used.

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).

WakeLan broadcasts a properly formatted UDP packet across the local area network, which causes enabled computers to power on.
