% Mastodon installers, configurators, and misc utilities % David Parsons % #Tools for Mastodon Linux This is the [Mastodon](/~mastodon) installer `loadandgo` (curses interface, and using [BSD curses](/~orc/Code/libc/libc-current/curses-old) to squeeze itself down to the point where a kernel, lkms, and the installer can fit onto a 1.44mb floppy disk), `admintool`, the X configurator, the rc.d subsystems, a collection of utilities that I wrote myself, and a few other useful utilities from various sources. =`addpath`= modify your `$PATH` =`csplit`= break a file down into smaller chunks =`daemon`= runs a program as a daemon, restarting it whenever it exits =`dbm`= create and manupulate `ndbm` databases =`df`= Show free disk space or inodes =`false`= return unsuccessfully =`free`= Show used/free memory or swap =`getty`= initialize tty line, call login. This one will set the terminal erase character if it spots either a DEL or BACKSPACE. =`go`= Runs a job in the background (a'la `batch`) and reports back to the caller when it's done. =`hostname`= print or set the computer's hostname =`makehole`= shrink a file by seeking over null space =`md5sum`= generate `md5` checksums for files. =`nl`= number lines =`pidof`= returns the process ID(s) of a named process =`play`= Regulates access to system games =`readlink`= print what a symlink points to =`stfu`= Don't echo kernel log messages to the console =`sync`= Force unwritten buffers to disk =`true`= return successfully =`uname`= print information about the system =`update`= periodically force unwritten buffers to disk =`whoami/id/groups`= print information about the current user ##Source Code The following releases are available (I don't have much revision history prior to `INST0063` because I foolishly didn't put the **Mastodon** version number into revision control.) * [INST0067 tools](mastodon-INST0067.tar.gz) * [INST0066 tools](mastodon-INST0066.tar.gz) * [INST0064 tools](mastodon-INST0064.tar.gz) * [INST0063 tools](mastodon-INST0063.tar.gz)
