Sometimes I feel like all the world’s problems can be solved with shell scripts. Here’s one that’s short and sweet. You give it a PID, interval, and outfile, and it keeps track of the PID given till the PID dies (or you kill the script). These values are plotted against time with gnuplot. I wrote it while keeping an eye on ‘top’ on a server. Snag it here
Ping Rebooter is a simple but useful application, basically it pings a website at some time interval if the website does not return, it uses wget to execute your cable/dsl modem’s reset string. The default reset string is: http://192.168.100.1/gscan.cgi?freq=331000000 This works for my linksys cable modem and has been tested on a few others. I find this useful
One of the more popular programs I released around 3 years ago, this one made it to the big-time. Magazines, download sites, and advertising revenue! SSRSS allows you to easily create and edit rss files.
Here is a program I wrote freshman year of college (1999). A text-based roleplaying game based on people I had met in the cs department. Fun, dated, text-based.
This is a program I wrote about 4-5 years ago which received some popularity on various international websites and magazines. While not as popular as ssrss, it still made lockergnome and shell city if I remember correctly. You use it to scroll or appear lines of text from a book or text file (or alarm text items you set up, features!) on the current window titlebar of whatever application you are using at the time. Source code available gplv3.
The source code (if not specified, all my source can be considered gplv3, but you SHOULD receive a copy of GPL with it) to Title Bar Scroller. www.hunterdavis.com/titlescrollcomplete.rar
