Open Source Command Line Tools - Page 5

A Linux/UNIX command line tool to find duplicate files. The tool supports multiple ways to consider a set of files as duplicates to each other (e.g. content, size, name ... etc.).

flickrsync is a command line tool written in Perl that aims to backup a complete directory structure to Flickr. It creates separate albums on Flickr based on the directory structure of the images. The main goal is to upload all pictures without requiring to move them to new folders. It relies on a few Perl packages mainly to handle HTTP requests and the file system. You should create Your own Flickr API keys, authentication token and add them to the application after You have downloaded it.

A command-line tool for change Mozilla Firefox settings (to use for example in logon script)

Simple command line tool for listing what programs have open sockets. Get_sock_pids output shows: program name, pid, port, type, and state (a feature netstat is missing on FreeBSD). Right now only for FreeBSD 4.x

A command line tool for text file analyis, filtering, splitting and reporting. Runs under Java (1.5+), supports plugins written in Groovy. Has nix and win batch files in distributions.

gzx is a C library and a command line tool for fully GZIP-compliant file compression with fast random access read support. gzx includes a FUSE (filesystem in userspace) client that allows to access the compressed files with arbitrary applications.

hostupd is a command-line tool which allows the user to update a dns server which supports dynamic updates (rfc2136), such as bind >= 8. Its main goal is to simplify the dns-updating task, but to remain flexible.

id34mtp is a command line tool for transfering mp3's to devices that use the MTP (PlaysForSure) protocol and supplies MTP metadata read from id3 tags.

ip6addr is a command line tool written in Haskell for filtering IPv6 addresses parsed against RFC 4291

IPGREP is a command line tool to grep IP packets out of PCAP files. It provides basic filter for IP version and IP addresses. It is written in pure C without LIBPCAP, so it should run faster.

jTCPfwd started as a simple Java command line tool to forward TCP ports. Lots of other features are added, for example for forwarding TCP connections over reverse TCP connections, UDP/HTTP tunnelling or writing files to a network share.

jfsrec is a command line tool that performs a read-only extraction of files from a damaged jfs filesystem.

lf is a command-line tool to list files in a terse format, sorted by file extensions. Sorts by the user's locale, or by ASCII, and has many options to control its behavior.

LZHW Command Line Lossless Compression Tool is a Windows command line tool used to compress and decompress files from and to any form, csv, excel etc without any dependencies or installations. Using an optimized algorithm (LZHW) developed from Lempel-Ziv, Huffman and LZ-Welch algorithms. The tool can work in parallel and most of its code is written in Cython, so it is pretty fast. It is based on python lzhw library. Full tool documentation can be found at: https://mnoorfawi.github.io/lzhw/6%20Using%20the%20lzhw%20command%20line%20tool/ While the documentation for the python library is at: https://mnoorfawi.github.io/lzhw/

mfork is a command-line tool to parallelize shell commands. Each line of text fed to it causes mfork to fork off a new process and run the the line of text though a shell. The maximum amount of concurrent processes can be set on the command line.

First perl-based configuration tool for nagios (http://nagios.org). Uses Web-interface and/or Command line tool. Requires: DBD::mysql, DBI::mysql, CGI. Is a real alternate against PHP configuration tools.

file packing library with zlib compression & tea encryption

progrep is a command-line tool (Linux) to show live progress report, status & stats of a running simulation or compute job that executes a given number of iterations. It shows % completed, time remaining, time elapsed, number of threads, MPI_Rank(if any), CPU usage & speed (FPS). The FPS measures may be used in benchmarking, e.g. while optimizing HPC algorithms for performance. progrep supports both single-threaded and parallel (multicore/multinode - e.g. OpenMP/MPI) jobs. progrep can also report for jobs running on remote hosts, e.g. jobs running on Linux Clusters. progrep works in client-server model. The server can be installed in your simulation source code with only 4 extra lines (API). When the progrep command is invoked, it queries this server as a client. progrep does not interfere with or slow down your simulation when not invoked. Even when invoked, the overhead is insignificant. Out of the box, the API works with Fortran/C/C++ code. See Wiki/README for details.

pv-migrate is a CLI tool/kubectl plugin to easily migrate the contents of one Kubernetes PersistentVolumeClaim to another. On Kubernetes, if you need to rename a resource (like a Deployment) or to move it to a different namespace, you can simply create a copy of its manifest with the new namespace and/or name and apply it. However, it is not as simple with PersistentVolumeClaim resources: They are not only metadata, but they also store data in the underlying storage backend. In these cases, moving the data stored in the PVC can become a problem, making migrations more difficult.

pythonswitcher is a command line tool to switch between the 2 python versions (Python2 or python3) on your linux system. Why switch between the python versions ? Good question !! In fact, python2 and python3 have different syntaxes. So some programs will requier the correct python version according to the version they are based on

q is a command line tool that allows direct execution of SQL-like queries on CSVs/TSVs (and any other tabular text files). q treats ordinary files as database tables, and supports all SQL constructs, such as WHERE, GROUP BY, JOINs etc. It supports automatic column name and column type detection, and provides full support for multiple encodings. q fully supports all types of encoding. Use -e data-encoding to set the input data encoding, -Q query-encoding to set the query encoding, and use -E output-encoding to set the output encoding. Sensible defaults are in place for all three parameters. Files with BOM: Files which contain a BOM (Byte Order Mark) are not properly supported inside python's csv module. q contains a workaround that allows reading UTF8 files which contain a BOM - Use -e utf-8-sig for this. The plan is to separate the BOM handling from the encoding itself, which would allow to support BOMs for all encodings.

Little command line tool implementing a ring buffer which can be flushed by a signal. With a second signal the buffer can be discarded. I use it for preparing a recording from a dvb device so a record sart will catch also the last seconds before.

A command line tool which moves files and directories by regular expressions

rnb - Really Nice Backup - Command line tool for backing up your files to a removabe drive. This program is not under active development. Known bugs in the current version: - Automatic mounting of the backup drive does not work. This can be worked around by mounting the drive before running the program. - Installation fails in some newer distributions.

a flexible serial logging tool, runs on GNU/Linux, which can be useful for timing analysis and logging capture of embedded system development.
