dirlist 0.6.1-20111116-041456: Primitive directory lister, quicker than ls, find and echo *

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 04:15:17 +0100

-t now accepts negated variants like -dir or -file

Useful like in:

dirlist -rt-dir /directory

Note that this was possible before, but it was not easy to specify.

getrealpath 0.2.0-20111024-061004: Print realpath to stdout

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 06:10:38 +0200

Current tinolib support, this means options for escapes.

One note for option '--':

'getrealpath --' does nothing, similar to 'echo -n | getrealpath -'.

unbuffered 0.4.0-20111023-001608: Copy stdin to stdout and stderr, unbuffered

Sat, 14 Sep 2013 23:09:06 +0200

Bugfix release for option -c. Option -b added

WARNING! The old unbuffered -c now must be written unbuffered -bc!

Incomplete lines were not output in cat mode in contrast to the Usage printed. This was due to a problem noted by me with incomplete lines and -u. Now you must use "unbuffered -bcu" instead of "unbuffered -cu".

This is important. If you rely on the old method, please update your scripts accordingly.

md5chk 0.7.0-20111017-143949: Create md5sums for easy shell usage

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:40:14 +0200

Bugfix release and options -k added

Now large files (more than 2 GB) can be processed, one of my machines exposed that bug to me.

Checksumming a large file with options -l and -m I observed the problem, that long parts of NUL blocks always have an equal sum. So the interleaving still does not protect against wrong ordering.

The complete sum will detect this, however this leaves a big puzzle on how to assemble all the pieces such that they are ok again. This now is solved with the new option -k.

By mixing in the block number into the MD5 hash, the hashes become unique, such that - with interleaving - you can sort all block such that they fit where they belong. (It's still a nontrivial task, but can be done.)

Option -k is followed by Option -p.

timestart 0.1.0-20111013-022104: Start a program N-M times in parallel by running it it each A-B seconds

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 02:24:39 +0200

Bugfix release, also statistics on SIGWINCH added

SIGWINCH is a convenience feature. Resize the terminal and you get a statistics for free ;)

udevraw 0.1.0-20110918-184628: Dump udev events for bash usage

Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:46:47 +0200

WARNING: The output is not backward compatible. See usage. Options -a -e -i -p and plug.sh added.

Look into the source or experiment to see what can be done. This is probably still far from ready yet.

Example to see everything:

udevraw -e '*'

Example to monitor for device change events:

udevraw -a change -f block -d disk

Sadly udevraw does not work properly on memory cards. I do not get any event when I plug in a card. The kernel only detects changes when I access the card.

As a workaround, see plug.sh

mvatom 0.4.4-20110825-142933: Move files by atomic rename instead of copy.

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:30:06 +0200

Nothing changed in mvatom, but dirlist now is a separate package.

This can be considered a bugfix, though, as previously 'dirlist -rp .' did not work correctly.

If you wonder where version 0.5.0 is: It is not there for the moment. So mvatom still operates in unsafe mode! Please keep that in mind.

diskus 0.6.4-20110729-224557: Disk geometry checking and repair tool

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 22:46:39 +0200

This fixes a bug in a library part, from which it is unknown if diskus is affected.

lockrun 0.6.2-20110613-163042: Exclusively run something by placing a file lock

Mon, 13 Jun 2011 16:31:58 +0200

Option -q now disables timeout message if lock cannot be aquired.

timeout 0.0.3-20101021-011348: Execute a command or pipe only for a given duration.

Thu, 21 Oct 2010 01:14:16 +0200

Fixes for wrong return values.

Returns 127 in case of child exec fails.

Returns 210 on fork fails as it ought to (instead of -1 previously)

As always, nearly not tested at all.

watcher 0.2.2-20100727-022233: A Python2.6 script to watch files, pipes or Unix domain sockets

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 02:22:56 +0200

Bugfix

EOF on unix sockets now is detected

cmpfast 0.2.3-20100330-214523: Fast compare two files binary

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:47:51 +0200

Bugfix:

Sometimes EOF was not detected correctly due to rounding problems. Usually instead of EOF a byte diff was detected. (If not the compared file probably was constructable from the previous reads somehow.)

Read: Previous versions DID NOT WORK correctly!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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).

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
