Software

Some small, mostly academic, projects I've written over the years. Most include manual pages. Some are SCO OpenServer specific.

csv-tools: A CSV file deconstructor in awk; Read the code for documentation.
dfwarn: Korn shell script to notify when one or more file systems reach specified capacity. Intended to run periodically by cron.
expand manpage: A basic tabifier/detabifier.
findln: Bourne shell script to find symbolic links on root or non-root filesystems, or both. Optionally print results in a format executable by /bin/sh. Useful for mapping symlinks prior to system upgrades. Requires GNU find.
genpw manpage: A password generator for SCO UNIX, but should work for any SecureWare-enabled OS. E.g., HP/UX.
Generates randomized, pronouncable, passwords of user-specified length, optionally inserting a random digit, special character, or both.
last manpage: A faster replacement for the SCO UNIX last command.
lock manpage: Password lock your terminal screen.
look manpage: My own implimentation of the UNIX tool.
priv README priv(1) priv(3): An sudo-like command.
scat README manpage: Slow cat. Useful, e.g., for replaying the output of a fast moving command.
spit manpage: Spit a message to a character device at specified intervals.
tape: Clone of the Altos Xenix tapeutil command for manipulating QIC tape storage devices. Probably useless today.
unsuid manpage: Relinquish suid/sgid privilege then exec a command.
uutot: Report HDB UUCP traffic statistics in awk. As printed in the first edition of O'Reilly's "sed & awk". Requires new awk.
