Some tiny (and ugly) hacks

creategallery is a very simple shell script I hacked in a few minutes to create static html galleries. You can find the script here and some galleries I created with it can be found here.

fluxbat is a tiny service that displays notebook battery status messages in your fluxbox menue.

You can download it here.

DRSysMon is a bash based system monitoring software for Unix systems. The project creates web-output and needs a local webserver to view the results. But you need no PHP or CGI, you need no database, no special server software (the server just has to display HTML-code) and you can install this simple software within 5 minutes.

DRSysMon contains different modules you can optionally load. For example, there is a modul creating monitoring graphs of your CPU usage and one module that checks which of your servers are down.

It is very easy to hack additional code into the shellscript for more functionality (just create a new module -> see documentation).

Demo

Here is a online demo on our webspace that shows a sample monitoring system configured for a sample host.

I wrote a simple bash script to create a visualization of connections between sourceforge.net users based on the projects.
