progress of data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into
any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual
indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long
it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate
of how long it will be until completion.

JailAdmin is a system for managing a set of named jails. It provides:
- A command line utility for starting and stopping named jails.
- An efficient method for shutting down a large number of jails in
parallel.
- A simple configuration syntax.
- SNMP monitoring facilities.
It is designed to provide more flexible functionality than FreeBSD's own
rc.d/jail script, and should provide a complete superset of features.

similar functionality but is not intended to be a drop-in replacement.
It works differently. It's designed to be different.

Open opens a new vt and runs a command on it. It can be used as a simple
way to start several console logins without having to type your passwd
on each VT in turn. open can be used as a simpler to use replacement for
the doshell(8) command.
open is similar in functionality to the AIX/RS6000 command of the same name.

and then verifys its' default data pattern, then displays performance
statisics and other test parameters before exiting. Since verification
of data is performed, dt can be thought of as a generic diagnostic tool.

'userneu' is a Perl script that parses a list of usernames
and additional information (such as the real name or other
information to be put in the GECOS field in /etc/passwd)
and creates Unix accounts and (if desired) Samba accounts
as well. If the script stumbles upon duplicate user names
it can append random characters to the username until it
fits.

rsnapshot makes it easy to make periodic snapshots of local machines,
and remote machines over ssh. The code makes extensive use of hard links
whenever possible, to greatly reduce the disk space required.
It is written entirely in perl with no module dependencies, and has been
tested with versions 5.004 through 5.8.1.

As the first step in updating this popular program, I am
releasing the current copy of the source for top 3.5. In
the coming weeks this should become the final 3.5 release.
Beta13 includes updated modules for freebsd, linux, and
AIX.
Included are all patches for FreeBSD 4.7 - 5.2 so that this version
can be used as a drop-in replacement for the base versions (use
TOP_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes)
