- browser-remote
-
A perl script to open a URL in a new window or tab of the current browser, or
to launch a new browser if one isn't running. This wrapper hides the
differences in command line switches required to open windows (or tabs)
between FireFox, Opera, and Mozilla.
- tailc
-
A "checkpointing" version of tail, loosely inspired by old versions of swatch.
This perl script will show the additions to a file, after the point that it
displayed previously. It uses the file size, inode number, and ctime to
determine if the file has changed. This is ideal for periodic processing of
large log files (ie., checking additions to /var/log/messages every hour,
rather than continiously).
- checkpass
-
A perl script, based loosely on code in the second edition of Programming
Perl from O'Reilly, to check for well-chosen passwords.
Note! The
original perl script as published by O'Reilly had a flaw that would corrupt Solaris
/etc/shadow files.

A perl script to notify the user if particular web pages have changed.

command to allow replies to be automatically customized based on the
recipient's address.

-

There's no reason for them to exist, unless a rootkit has been installed...
