ProShield is a system administration/security program for Ubuntu/Debian GNU/Linux. It helps insure that your system is secure and up-to-date by checking many different aspects of your system. Whether you are a Linux novice or a system administrator with a dozen servers, ProShield is designed to be usable by all. Its main goal is to help secure a newly installed computer, as well as maintain the security of an existing machine. It's part security and part security administration.

The mysqlard daemon collects MySQL performance
data in a round robin database using rrdtool.
rrdtool stores the data in a very compact way that
will not expand over time, and it presents useful
graphs by processing the data to enforce a certain
data density. The main goal of the package is to
help the database system administrator in tuning
the system for maximum performance. The package
also contains example graphing, cron, and PHP
scripts.

The Sentry Firewall CD is a Linux-based bootable CD-ROM, suitable for use as an inexpensive and easy to maintain firewall, router, server, or IDS (Intrusion Detection System) node. The system is designed to be immediately configurable for a variety of different operating environments via a configuration file located on a floppy disk or on a remote server.

cgprof generates colored graphs for profiled executables using gcc and gprof.
cgprof helps programmers attain a better understanding of program structure and
execution. It makes hot-spot identification visual and intuitive.

Simple Perl Package Manager tracks the files added
or deleted from a system by using "find". It can
detect modified files using installwatch, make
backups of modified or deleted files, and remove,
list, or make a tarball of a package. It records
MD5 checksums of all installed files and includes
a script to verify them and check other attributes
of a package.

WebVCR+ is a Web frontend to record your TV shows from, which has a TV Guide-like interface. You can record your shows to many different formats, and convert them during the idle time your computer isn't recording. You can also add favorites and manage your video library through the Web interface. Listings can be specified in XMLTV format, or grabbed from advalvas/eurotv. You can also easily add different commandline video recorders.

bpkg is a utility that tries to simplify the
process of trying out new programs from source.
For most packages, this can be as simple as "bpkg
<url or tarball>". bpkg will download,
extract, configure, compile, install, generate a
package in your system's native format, and
finally integrate that package into your system's
packaging system so that you can remove it
cleanly. It has auto-detection for Arch Linux,
Slackware, Red Hat, Gentoo, and SuSE (though not
all packaging back-ends are complete). bpkg is not
intended as a replacement for normal packaging
utilities.

git-info-bar is a ksh, bash, gitbash, and Git shell plugin that endeavors to provide a fast and pronounced view of various git attributes when you are under the umbrella of a git repository. Its main feature, the 'info bar' (information bar), displays the following information: current branch (in 'red' if on master); current cksum (in 'red' if there are uncommitted changes, and an 'uncommitted changes' message in the message area); and stash count in the message area if you have stashes. It includes an install script and removal scripts. It is currently only tested in Bash, GitBash and ksh93. It was previously named 'bash-git', but the name has been transitioned to 'git-info-bar', as a long-term goal is cross-shell compatibility using a Perl back-end.

AlternC is an automatic hosting software suite based on Debian. It features a PHP-based administration interface and scripts that manage server configuration. It can manage email, Web, Web statistics, and mailing list hosting. It is available in French, English, and Spanish.

xmlsh is a command line shell for XML based on the philosophy and design of the Unix shells. It provides a familiar scripting environment, but one specifically tailored for scripting XML processes.

gcp (Goffi's CoPier) is a command line file copying tool, loosely inspired by cp, but with high level functionality like a progress indicator, the ability to continue copying multiple files even when there is a problem with one of them, and the use of a journal to track successful copying. File names can be fixed to ensure compatibility with the target filesystem. If you launch a copy operation when another is already running, the files are added to the first queue to avoid hard drive thrashing. You can keep track of files you have copied, and re-copy them later. gcp is approximately option-compatible with cp.

pmpkg provides a script and definitions to build
SysV style binary packages for Solaris from source
tarballs in an automated way, somewhat similar to
ports or ebuilds. It aims for reuse of system
packages where possible and a minimalistic
dependency set.

For each File is a Bash script wrapper for
repetitive file manipulation tasks such as mass
file renaming. It lets you run arbitrary commands
(recursively if you like) upon files, directories,
and more.
