Software

Here you can download open source software I have written. Most of these are tools that may be helpful for unix users, but some of them could be interesting for other platforms as well. Just take a look and decide for yourself.

If you use any of these programs feel free to send me your feedback. Tell me what's good or bad; send me bug reports or feature requests; point out parts of the manual pages that are missing or hard to understand.

bash [directory]

This section contains scripts written for the Bourne Again SHell (bash). bash is one of the widest spread shells for unix systems, at least on linux systems it is a de facto standard. Thus there is a good chance that you can run these scripts on your machine.

In very rare cases you will have to modify the scripts' first line which points to the location where bash is installed.

perl [directory]

This folder contains Perl scripts and modules/classes. To run the programs you will need a Perl interpreter (surprise!). Additional requirements can be found in the README or INSTALL files enclosed in each archive.

Perl itself runs on many different platforms, so I try to write my Perl code as portable as possible. I'm developing and testing these scripts on a stable release of Debian GNU/Linux. Please let me know if you run into problems on your system and give me a detailed description of the steps that led you there.
