Package Contents

• bandwidth
  This is a simple PHP Bandwidth monitor. It has been tested to work with Linux, and should work with anything that has a /proc/net/dev file that is in the same format. Here is a sample of what it looks like:

  eth0 RX:   15.48 TX:    0.54    eth1 RX:    1.18 TX:   15.42
  eth0 RX:   17.52 TX:    0.72    eth1 RX:    1.56 TX:   17.46
  eth0 RX:   16.36 TX:    0.59    eth1 RX:    1.30 TX:   16.36
  eth0 RX:   14.56 TX:    0.60    eth1 RX:    1.31 TX:   14.51
  eth0 RX:   24.42 TX:    0.83    eth1 RX:    1.79 TX:   24.42

• dirsync
  This is a little utility to replicate a directory. It copies all files from a master directory to a slave directory (newer files only) and removes all files from the slave directory if they are not in the master (you can turn this off). It's nothing fancy and only works on local directories. I work on my web pages on my laptop and use this tool to copy it to my webserver daily.

  Dirsync
  Master: C:\x
  Slave : C:\y
  Creating C:\y\1
  Creating C:\y\2
  Copying C:\x\foo
  

• isalive
  This is a simple PHP script to test the connection to a host:port to see if it is alive or not. It can optionally send notification each time a host dies or comes back. Here is a sample of the log:

  2001-03-17 12:25:11 Boxter is down
  2001-03-17 12:25:16 Boxter is up
  

• nicename
  A little utility to make filenames a bit nicer looking by triming out extra spaces, replacing _ with spaces, etc. Here is an example:

  Filename: messy__filename  fix    me-now.zip
  Messy Filename Fix Me - Now.zip
  
  Filename: who___ever_named___this_is__wierd.tar.gz
  Who Ever Named This Is Wierd.tar.gz
  

• phpi
  Simple little interactive PHP thing for you to quickly test a PHP command or whatever. Note, commands cannot span more than one line :) Here is an example:

  PHP Interactive by Ying Zhang (ying @ zippydesign dot com)
  Type 'help' for help, 'quit' to exit.
  
  1> $foo=123.52;
  
  2> printf("%10.3f", $foo);
         123.520
  3> echo gethostbyaddr("192.168.0.4");
  boxter.localdomain
  4> quit
  

• rpmupdates
  This file will look at the RPM files in a directory, compare against what is installed (against an rpm -qa) and tells you which files in the directory are newer. Here is an example:

  Checking /mnt/max2/scratch/autoupdates
  * bash-1.14.7-24.6x.i386.rpm newer than bash-1.14.7-23.6x
