Description: Have you ever edited a file, then realized, "Oh -- I should make a
backup of that first." So you copy /etc/hosts to /etc/hosts.date_stamp,
etc. That's what this tool does in an easy to use, consistent and
simple way.
.
The command 'bu /etc/hosts' copies /etc/hosts to
/etc/.bu_backups/hosts__2014.08.14-22:02:59.bz2. Conveniently date and
time stamped in a naturally sortable way.
.
The command 'bu /etc' will create a tarball of /etc named in the same
fashion: /.bu_backups/etc__2014.08.14-22:03:07.tar.bz2.
.
Multiple items can be specified at the same time: 'bu this that /the/other'

Description: This module allows access to the device routines
major()/minor()/makedev() that may or may not be macros in .h files.
It also allows access to the mknod system call.
.
NOTES
.
There are 2 other perl modules that implement the mknod(2) system call,
but they have problems working on some platforms. Sys::Mknod does not
work on AIX because it uses the syscall(2) generic system call which
AIX does not have. Mknod implements S_IFIFO, which on most platforms
is not implemented in mknod, but rather mkfifo (which is implemented
in POSIX perl module).
.
The perl module File::Stat::Bits also implements major() and minor() (and
a version of makedev() called dev_join). They are done as a program to
get the bit masks at compile time, but if major() and minor() are
implemented as sub routines, the arugment could be something as simple
as an index to a lookup table (and thereby having no decernable relation
to its result).

Description: Have you ever typed "ps -ef | grep THINGY | grep -v grep"?
That's essentially what "psg THINGY" does, except it's a lot easier to
type, and it can save you lots of time and energy over the course of
your career as a sysadmin.
.
For example, if you do the "ps -ef" command above just a dozen times a
day, then over the course of a 10 year career, you would save over 1
million characters typed by using "psg" instead. ;-)
.
25 characters difference * 12 * 365 * 10 => 1,095,000 characters saved!
.

[$] psg init

Description: Manage the state of specific files and packages on a system.
Simple State Manager (ssm) allows you to define a desired state for
one or more machines. This state can include:
.
* a complete list of packages to be installed (optional)
* version information for some or all packages (optional)
* files that should be in place, and appropriate attributes (optional)
- regular files (content via md5sum)
- character, block, and fifo files
- permissions and ownership
- soft links and hard links
- unwanted files and directories (that should be removed)
.
If an defined element of a system is not in the desired state, the
ssm client can fix it, always prompting you before taking action.
Prompting can be suppressed with a --yes option.
.
State information for a machine is kept in a state definition file,
which can be stored in a location that the ssm client can access via
http:, https:, ftp:, or on the local filesystem. State definition
files are simple to create, and are easy to read and understand.

on a system in a general way - you don't need to know anything about the
particular boot loader on the system. You can update the network settings
of a system, without knowing the distribution or the format of its network

Description: SystemImager boot binaries for i386 client nodes
SystemImager is a set of utilities for installing GNU/Linux disk images to
client machines over the network. Images are stored in flat
files on the server, making updates easy. The rsync protocol is used for
transfers, making updates efficient.
.
This provides an optional ssh component for the image server, which
adds the ability to do secure, automated installs.

Description: Creates Linux distribution images from a set of packages
SystemInstaller creates Linux distribution images from a set of packages and
specification files. Working in conjunction with SystemImager and
SystemConfigurator, these images can then be installed to machines
throughout your cluster/network. As a side-effect, it can be used as a tool
for building chroot environments for many package based distributions.
.

Description: This module allows access to the device routines
major()/minor()/makedev() that may or may not be macros in .h files.
It also allows access to the mknod system call.
.
NOTES
.
There are 2 other perl modules that implement the mknod(2) system call,
but they have problems working on some platforms. Sys::Mknod does not
work on AIX because it uses the syscall(2) generic system call which
AIX does not have. Mknod implements S_IFIFO, which on most platforms
is not implemented in mknod, but rather mkfifo (which is implemented
in POSIX perl module).
.
The perl module File::Stat::Bits also implements major() and minor() (and
a version of makedev() called dev_join). They are done as a program to
get the bit masks at compile time, but if major() and minor() are
implemented as sub routines, the arugment could be something as simple
as an index to a lookup table (and thereby having no decernable relation
to its result).
