socklinger 2.4.0-20100126-154808: Execute quick hack shell scripts connected to a socket.

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:48:50 +0100

Script sockets implemented, Options -f -t -w.

All are somewhat experimental.

If the socket starts with a pipe character (|) it now is a program to execute. This allows two scripts to talk to each other, like in

socklinger -v "|bash -c 'while read a; do echo \"\$a\" >&2; done'" bash -c 'echo hello world'

Option -f is thought to change the FD on which the socket is handed to the script.

Option -t gives an upper bound to the connect timeout. This only works on connect mode.

Option -w limits the lingering to a maximum time. This is in contrast to -l which restarts on data received.

printansi 0.1.0-20100112-032113: Like /bin/echo but ANSI-escapes the output

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:21:42 +0100

Options -d and -r added

Also possible race condition removed.

Now printansi can be used as a save logfile, like in

for a do echo "start $a" process "$a" echo "finished $a: $?" done | # Log lines "[YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS][PID] stdin" printansi -drp "[$$]" -lf logfile.out -

count 0.1.1-20090921-223427: Copy lines, shows progress

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 22:34:41 +0200

Option -f improved, option -n added

Now a CR is printed when there was progress output previously. With option -n the progress output can be disabled now, too.

lockrun 0.5.0-20090727-020420: Exclusively run something by placing a file lock

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:05:32 +0200

Option -f added

If this option is present, this makes lockrun fail if the given file to lock is missing.

tinohtmlparse 0.3.1-20090713-002009: Simple HTML parser to extract information from HTML files by shell

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:20:22 +0200

Bugfix release: URL parser in tinohtmlabsurl.sh was broken.

#anchor and ?query type short URLs did not work correctly. It forgot to include the base filename and/or the query. Also "mailto:" and "news:" type URLs shall work now.

unbuffered 0.1.0-20090706-023522: Copy stdin to stdout and stderr, unbuffered

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:35:47 +0200

Options -u, -l and -a added, option -n changed, option -c improved. Now installs into /usr/local/bin

With option -u and -l you can add a date-time prefix to lines written to STDERR. Option -n can be given multiple to change the line numbering.

Option -a appends the output to a file and not to STDERR. The file is created if it is missing. To allow easy logfile rotation, from time to time the file is closed and reopened (thus recreated if missing).

Option -c was unreliable in that it dumped incomplete lines. This has been changed such, that most time a full line will be written, such that you can use it to number lines etc.

sq 0.5.0-20090529-180428: SQLITE3 query tool for shell usage

Fri, 29 May 2009 18:04:50 +0200

Option -v is for convenience use of -a, -s and -e Option -s now can be given multiple times. Options -b and -e added.

Option -v was added for easy shell eval purpose and needed option -e as well as multiple option -s. For symmetry of -e, option -b has been added, too.

The new option -v sets all options exactly as how in following example:

echo eval `./sq3 -a -s"=$'" -s"' " -e"'" test.db "select 'test1',' complex string ','test2','another '' string'"`

This outputs

eval test1=$'\040complex\040string\040' test2=$'another\040\'\040string'

runningfor 0.0.0-20090527-180940: Return true until the given time periode is reached.

Wed, 27 May 2009 18:11:47 +0200

First version, it works.

mvatom 0.4.3-20090409-200703: Move files by atomic rename instead of copy. (Includes dirlist)

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 20:04:54 +0200

dirlist now has options -r to recurse subdirectories.

keypressed 0.1.0-20090304-005423: Nonblocking, nondestructible test for waiting data on TTYs, sockets and probably pipes

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 00:51:35 +0100

You can give a timeout in milliseconds

Also install path now is to /usr/local

diskus 0.6.2-20090216-080316: Disk geometry checking and repair tool

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 07:48:04 +0100

Bugfixes: Option -xd now works

Previously Option -x always was active, this was not intended.

slowdown 0.2.1-20090204-160027: Slowdown processes or pipes.

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 15:57:37 +0100

Delay must be in sane area now, a delay higher than 1 hour now is rejected.

Install path changed to /usr/local/bin/

checkrun 0.0.2-20090110-081959: Program watchdog to terminate a program with starving output

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 08:17:49 +0100

timeout 0.0.2-20090110-011728: Execute a command or pipe only for a given duration.

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 01:15:11 +0100

Minor bugfix for output in pipe case

getrealpath 0.1.0-20081125-015158: Print realpath to stdout

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 01:50:13 +0100

Now uses my own implementation of getrealpath, not the libc variant.

This improves behavior on non-existent paths, as the behavior on non-existent files is not defined in the libc variant. Note that the GNU libc v2 seems to work similar to what I did, however I do not want to rely on undocumented behavior (undocumented according to POSIX).

md5chk 0.5.0-20081102-031402: Create md5sums for easy shell usage

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 03:12:06 +0100

Added option -p (and --shit)

Option -p initalizes the MD5 algorithm with some arbitrary string. This is to modify the md5 algorithm, to change calculated values. For example 'md5chk -p a -d b c' gives the same as 'md5chk -d ab ac', but the prefix is not shown in the output.

The new integration option --shit is prepared, but not yet operational. (Sorry for the name, but I needed a silly option name which will not interfere with another option which already is in use.) Before you ask: SHIT will provide a built in co-processing method like shell pipes. However it will skip many fork() calls which are very slow platforms like CygWin. It also will work over network sockets.

killmem 0.2.0-20081101-104442: Protect some memory against paging until you need free memory

Sat, 01 Nov 2008 10:43:06 +0100

Second arg to skip wait for keypress

gcopy 0.0.4-20081029-203605: GCOPY - generalized copy

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 20:34:24 +0100

Bugfix release:

Was able to run out of filehandles (read list from stdin), progress output improved.

multiproxy 0.2.1-20081021-014523: A multiple proxy implementation

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:43:30 +0200

Bugfix release (untested)

I mixed some call in an internal library function. I believe in this case it did no harm. This release fixes that (by an update to the latest tinolib).

cmpfast 0.2.2-20081020-030200: Fast compare two files binary

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 03:00:13 +0200

O_DIRECT now skipped on filesystems lacking O_DIRECT support.

If open() fails with O_DIRECT, it is retried without. Some filesystems (like FUSE) apparently do not support O_DIRECT.

histogram 0.0.0-20080817-233833: Count bytes in file

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 23:39:03 +0200

First version, it works.

lockdir 0.0.0-20080803-234403: Create a directory for locking purpose

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 23:43:24 +0200

First version, it works

printargs 0.0.1-20080531-225835: Like "hello world" but dumps the argc array

Sat, 31 May 2008 22:58:25 +0200

Bugfix: ANSI escape fixed, the octal sequence was too long for most control characters (hadn't tested this before).

dbm 0.11.0-20080519-114741: A little tool to access gdbm files from shell.

Mon, 19 May 2008 11:47:55 +0200

Functions sadd and sdir removed for re-write

The "find" function now returns FALSE in case it does not find anything. This is to more easily differ from the case when it returns a blank result, which, from shell, does look alike.

The "sadd" and "sdir" functions have proven badly designed, so they will be re-invented with another algorithm. This is an intermediate version which removes the old "sadd" and "sdir" function. If you need the old behavior, stick to version 0.10.x

minicron 0.0.0-20080118-042430: This is a program which starts other programs after some time

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 04:25:32 +0100

That was simple.

ptybuffer 0.6.4-20071020-171424: daemonize interactive tty line driven programs with output history

Sat, 20 Oct 2007 17:14:35 +0200

CygWin compile fixes.

It shall now compile under CygWin again.

sslconnect 0.2.0-20071009-225532: Connect to destination using SSL

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 22:42:32 +0200

Timeout option should work now when idle, too.

There was a stupid bug in the code which hindered timeouts to happen when no data transfer was seen. Note that the connect timeout and SSH handshake timeout are both "timeout" seconds while the timeout due to missing activity on the socket is nearly twice this duration. (Actually it's between timeout*2-L where L varies from 1 to 2+log(timeout)/log(2), depending of the bit value of timeout.)

Note that the word stupid means me, not the bug ;)

tinoseq 0.0.0-20070408-124243: An integer seq implementation

Sun, 08 Apr 2007 12:47:26 +0200

A first version

Currently not uses tinolib (but in future will as I add options).

filecache 0.0.1-20061115-052726: Manage a cache for file data

Wed, 15 Nov 2006 05:13:50 +0100

Bugfix release. Still not completed version. Options -x and -l added.

Demangling of names added. You must tell the cachedir if demangling filenames from the filesystem, else use option -e.

Example:

find out -type f -print | filecache -dxf out

Demangling runs until the end of the name or the sequence '$.'. Latter is for extensions, as you perhaps like to store all JPG style files as someting.jpg or have several "backups" of a file, like done with `mvatom -b`.

kdmktone 0.0.0-20061021-043020: Make the console beep

Sat, 21 Oct 2006 04:17:59 +0200

This actually is an old (but now improved) version.

I just created it to let my console beep.

md5backup 0.3.15-20061003-231645: Interim backup tool

Tue, 03 Oct 2006 23:04:38 +0200

This version now has two new preliminary scripts:

1. There now is a restore script bin/md5restore.sh

2. To setup networking there now is bin/sc-setup.sh

Little bit else changed. The scripts are not completely ready yet!

The restore is not capable to restore the metadata of a file. And this script is not thought to restore directories. Also be aware of the fact that sparse files are not yet backed up.

You need scylla-charybdis compiled to use sc-setup.sh

squidauthdbm 0.0.0-20050928-012719: A simple dbm driven Squid authenticator

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 01:35:46 +0200

A simple DBM driven squid authenticator

debris 0.0.6-20050815-030456: DebRIS: DEBian Remote Install Scripter

Mon, 15 Aug 2005 02:31:52 +0200

Sigh .. prefixed all functions with dris_ to avoid name clashes.

tinolib 0.1.0-20050725-053214: The library which is part of many of my programs

Mon, 25 Jul 2005 05:44:51 +0200

A current snapshot, also added compile with libdiet

gat 0.0.2-20050426-010707: VCS like Linus Torvalds' GIT with a lot of CVS features, easy, fast, secure.

Tue, 26 Apr 2005 01:14:59 +0200

Still not a working version, but evolving

mon 0.2.0-20040915-014028: Lightweight system monitor in case you have no time

Wed, 15 Sep 2004 01:36:56 +0200

Version with Network device monitor
