Open Source AWK Systems Administration Software

Master/node to gather and graph "everything" on your systems using Tobi Oetiker's rrdtool. It can optionally warn your surveillance software. This software package was originally called LRRD. The project. Please see http://munin-monitoring.org/

m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

SoupToNuts is a repository of technical articles and example software covering Postfix, OpenSSH, C and C++, Live Linux CD, MySQL, SQLite, Berkeley DB, Bash and System Administration.

Process Monitor uses web interface to view system active process and its resource usage. Support multiple host process monitoring. This to allow developer view their active process and Administrator keep tab on system performances.

Open-source/PHP front-end system for full gateway management based on Iptables/Netfilter, using only built-in features of Netfilter package.

Monitoring log files is mandatory in all UNIX environments. LoGrobot does this for you efficiently. It analyzes, graphs and alerts on system log files, application log files, database log files, custom log files...basically any log file. Benefits: Automatically scans log files for errors or user specified patterns Shows the offending log entries in the alerts generated on a monitored log file Shows latest size of a log file at the time of the most recent log check Shows total entries written to log file in the most recent check Can tail logs in time frames rather than tailing random lines Monitors and alerts on log file growth Monitors and alerts on log file size Monitors and alerts on log file time stamp Sends out email alert notifications on log files When run without arguments, LoGrobot displays direct instructions on usage. NOTE: For the fully-featured version of the LoGrobot Log File Monitoring tool (also known as logXray), visit www.LoGrobot.com/#download

LogCop is a set of turn-key bash/firewall/awk scripts for enhancing an IDS. It monitors system logs and blocks IP addresses based on such criteria as illegal user names from repeated attacks. In production under Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Solaris.

SHC - System Health Check collects important system information like used memory, swap, disk usage, network status, critical events, etc. for each systems in your network. Then a daemon review the previous output file and reports to the sysadmin in funct

Voswatcher is a tool to collect time correlated performance data on a Solaris or Linux system. This is a tool to gather data before, during, and after an event. It is a set of scripts which makes it suitable for use with sensitive clients.

Winona is a PHP driven tool for installing various packages like Mediawiki from your browser. Its modular structure makes it extensible through plugins. Installations can be heavily modified rather than using the default installer.

chainssh is a shell script to smplify the ssh login via multiple sshgateways/firewallgateaways. e.g. connect from homehost via sshgateway to a clusternode with one command.

gdeptrace sorts an input dependancy list or table and prints it, and can do other actions. It's default operation is to act like tsort (1) except that it sorts by pure pkg / make dependancy (tsort sorts by grapical topology: see notes about differences). EXAMPLE: $ echo -e "b e\ne\nc b" | sort -k1,1 | gdeptrace [opts] e b c (b depends on e, c depends on b, e has no depends) (also: e has more items depending on it and is below anything it depends on; in this case the top, all and only by the rules known and given, in order by given where equal) $ echo -e "b e\ne\nc b" | depsort ditto, no opts needed $ libdeps objdump /lib/*.so.* (outputs if missing, load order (deps), rdeps, which are effected by missing lib/s, etc, see readme) $ doil (a package installer/solver like apt-get+dpkg which uses gdeptrace, see doil on Source Forge) dep-trace is now "gdeptrace" to ease packaging compatibility

Etckeeper-ng is a bash script which uses git and rsync awk sed and find to create a backup directory of your /etc linux directory. It is easy to configure. The default configuration should work on most boxes. Just make sure you have git rsync and all the other requirements installed. When you use the etckeeper-ng the first time open a terminal and type "etckeeper-ng init" to create your first initial backup or "etckeeper-ng help" to show the help for this script.

Openldapconf is a shell script to install and configure openldap and its dependencies automagically. By now, it includes integration with Samba and Squid. You can make a full installation or configure the packages separated. Powered by Slackware

This project contains useful (or less useful) shell scripts for *nix admins and users.

Typically all modern Linux desktop distributions need some customisation. Small utility scripts written in Perl and Bash can provide much-needed glue to connect different systems and programs. This project is intended to serve that purpose by forming a resource of utilities in these languages to easily integrate with Linux generically regardless of distribution.
