Utility | Description |
---|---|
accept | |
addgnupghome | addgnupghome - Create .gnupg home directories; If GnuPG is installed on a system with existing user accounts, it is sometimes required to populate the GnuPG home directory with existing files. Especially a `trustlist.txt' and a keybox with some initial certificates are often desired. This scripts help to do this by copying all files from `/etc/skel/.gnupg' to the home directories of the accounts given on the command line. It takes care not to overwrite existing GnuPG home directories. |
applygnupgdefaults | applygnupgdefaults - Run gpgconf --apply-defaults for all users. |
avahi-daemon | The Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD daemon implements Apple's Zeroconf architecture (also known as "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour"). The daemon registers local IP addresses and static services using mDNS/DNS-SD and provides two IPC APIs for local programs to make use of the mDNS record cache the avahi-daemon maintains. First there is the so called "simple protocol" which is used exclusively by avahi-dnsconfd (a daemon which configures unicast DNS servers using server info published via mDNS) and nss-mdns (a libc NSS plugin, providing name resolution via mDNS). Finally there is the D-Bus interface which provides a rich object oriented interface to D-Bus enabled applications. |
avahi-dnsconfd | avahi-dnsconfd connects to a running avahi-daemon and runs the script /home/lennart/tmp/avahi/usr/local/etc/avahi/dnsconfd.action for each unicast DNS server that is announced on the local LAN. This is useful for configuring unicast DNS servers in a DHCP-like fashion with mDNS. |
badblocks | badblocks is used to search for bad blocks on a device (usually a disk partition). device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdc1). |
biosdecode | biosdecode parses the BIOS memory and prints information about all structures (or entry points) it knows of. |
blkid | blkid - command-line utility to locate/print block device attributes |
bonobo-activation-sysconf | |
ck-log-system-restart | |
ck-log-system-start | |
ck-log-system-stop | |
console-kit-daemon | |
cracklib-check | CrackLib is a library containing a C function which may be used in a passwd(1)-like program.
The idea is simple: try to prevent users from choosing passwords that could be guessed by Crack by filtering them out, at source. |
cracklib-format | |
cracklib-packer | |
cracklib-unpacker | |
create-cracklib-dict | |
cups-browsed | cups-browsed - A daemon for browsing the Bonjour broadcasts of shared, remote CUPS printers |
cups-genppd.5.3 | cups-genppd - generate Gutenprint PPD files for use with CUPS |
cups-genppdupdate | cups-genppdupdate regenerates the Gutenprint PPD files in use by CUPS, using the PPD files under /usr/local/share/cups/model/gutenprint as templates. |
cupsaccept | The cupsaccept command instructs the printing system to accept print jobs to the specified destinations. |
cupsaddsmb | The cupsaddsmb program exports printers to the SAMBA software (version 2.2.0 or higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the SAMBA configuration, you may need to provide a password to export the printers. This program requires the Windows printer driver files. |
cupsctl | cupsctl updates or queries the cupsd.conf file for a server. When no changes are requested, the current configuration values are written to the standard output in the format "name=value", one per line. |
cupsd | cupsd is the scheduler for CUPS. It implements a printing system based upon the Internet Printing Protocol, version 2.1, and supports most of the requirements for IPP Everywhere. If no options are specified on the command-line then the default configuration file /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf will be used. |
cupsdisable | cupsdisable, cupsenable - stop/start printers and classes, cupsenable starts the named printers or classes while cupsdisable stops the named printers or classes. |
cupsenable | cupsdisable, cupsenable - stop/start printers and classes, cupsenable starts the named printers or classes while cupsdisable stops the named printers or classes. |
cupsfilter | cupsfilter is a front-end to the CUPS filter subsystem which allows you to convert a file to a specific format, just as if you had printed the file through CUPS. By default, cupsfilter generates a PDF file. The converted file is sent to the standard output. |
cupsreject | The cupsaccept command instructs the printing system to accept print jobs to the specified destinations.
The cupsreject command instructs the printing system to reject print jobs to the specified destinations. The -r option sets the reason for rejecting print jobs. If not specified, the reason defaults to "Reason Unknown". |
debugfs | debugfs - ext2/ext3/ext4 file system debugger |
dmidecode | dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format. This table contains a description of the system's hardware components, as well as other useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS revision. Thanks to this table, you can retrieve this information without having to probe for the actual hardware. While this is a good point in terms of report speed and safeness, this also makes the presented information possibly unreliable. |
dumpe2fs | dumpe2fs - dump ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem information |
e2freefrag | e2freefrag is used to report free space fragmentation on ext2/3/4 file systems. filesys is the filesystem device name (e.g. /dev/hdc1, /dev/md0). The e2freefrag program will scan the block bitmap information to check how many free blocks are present as contiguous and aligned free space. The percentage of contiguous free blocks of size and of alignment chunk_kb is reported. It also displays the minimum/maximum/average free chunk size in the filesystem, along with a histogram of all free chunks. This information can be used to gauge the level of free space fragmentation in the filesystem. |
e2fsck | e2fsck is used to check the ext2/ext3/ext4 family of file systems. For ext3 and ext4 filesystems that use a journal, if the system has been shut down uncleanly without any errors, normally, after replaying the committed transactions in the journal, the file system should be marked as clean. Hence, for filesystems that use journalling, e2fsck will normally replay the journal and exit, unless its superblock indicates that further checking is required. |
e2image | The e2image program will save critical ext2, ext3, or ext4 filesystem metadata located on device to a file specified by image-file. The image file may be examined by dumpe2fs and debugfs, by using the -i option to those programs. This can assist an expert in recovering catastrophically corrupted filesystems. In the future, e2fsck will be enhanced to be able to use the image file to help recover a badly damaged filesystem. |
e2label | e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem |
e2mmpstatus | |
e2undo | e2undo will replay the undo log undo_log for an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem found on device. This can be used to undo a failed operation by an e2fsprogs program. |
escapesrc | |
eventlogadm | eventlogadm - push records into the Samba event log store |
findfs | findfs will search the disks in the system looking for a filesystem which has a label matching label or a UUID equal to uuid. If the filesystem is found, the device name for the filesystem will be printed on stdout. |

The output can be piped into foomatic-addpjloptions to add options to the database. |
foomatic-kitload | foomatic-kitload installs a foomatic data kit into the local data library. It takes a -k dirname option, where dirname is the toplevel directory of a foomatic driver "kit". A "kit" is a selection of XML source files arranged exactly as in the source/section of the master database (ie, opt/driver/printer/ subdirs). |

ntfsresize | The ntfsresize program safely resizes Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows NT4 and Longhorn NTFS filesystems without data loss. All NTFS versions are supported, used by 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. |
ntfsundelete | ntfsundelete - recover a deleted file from an NTFS volume. |
ownership | ownership retrieves and prints the "ownership tag" that can be set on Compaq computers. Contrary to all other programs of the dmidecode package, ownership doesn't print any version information, nor labels, but only the raw ownership tag. This should help its integration in scripts. |
paperconfig | paperconfig - configure the system default paper size |
pc-sysinstall | The pc-sysinstall utility is a hybrid backend for installing FreeBSD. When run in install mode it takes a configuration file and performs an installation according to the parameters specified in the configuration file. When called with one of the system query commands it provides in formation about the system to aid a front end in building an appropriate
configuration file. |
