The file /etc/initscript is used by init to execute the commands in
/etc/inittab. As any process it started from init, it is a convenient
place to adjust per process limits (rlimits).

The script provided here does set limits on the memory usage per
process (amongst setting other limits) and thus prevents that a single
process that leaks memory can cause your system to run out of memory
and provoke the system to crawl (trash on the swap partition) before it
rescues itself by killing processes (but unfortunately does not always
hit the right process with the first try). The script sets the limits
in percent of available memory, thus the defaults may match a large
range of systems.

Configuration is done in file /etc/sysconfig/ulimit.

Per user rlimit settings can be configured by filling in
/etc/security/limits.conf and using the pam_limits.so functionality.

More finegrained resource management (per process group), can be done
via control groups (containers) with SLE11/openSUSE11.1 or newer.

UPower is an abstraction for enumerating power devices, listening to
device events and querying history and statistics. Any application or
service on the system can access the org.freedesktop.UPower service
via the system message bus. Some operations (such as suspending the
system) are restricted using PolicyKit.

This tool lets you programatically (or manually) simulate keyboard input and mouse activity, move and resize windows, etc. It does this using X11's XTEST extension and other Xlib functions.

Small tool to ask the user for one or more responses (e.g., from batch
files).

A swallowable applet shows clock and calendar. Supports themes for
different looks.

Iperf was developed by NLANR/DAST as a modern alternative for
measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth performance.
Iperf allows the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics.
Iperf reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss.

This package contains some small network tools for IPv4 and IPv6 like
rdisc, ping6, traceroute6, tracepath, and tracepath6.

Jigsaw Download, or jigdo, is an intelligent tool that can be used on
the pieces of any chopped-up big file to create a special template file
that makes reassembly of the file very easy for users who only have the
pieces. What makes jigdo special is that there are no restrictions on
what offsets or sizes the individual pieces have in the original big
image. This makes the program very well suited for distributing CD or
DVD images (or large zip or tar archives) because you can put the files
of the CD on an FTP server--when jigdo is presented the files along
with the template you generated, it is able to recreate the CD image.

The OpenSuSE KIWI Image System provides a complete operating system
image solution for Linux supported hardware platforms as well as for
virtualization systems like Xen.

Nast is a packet sniffer and a LAN analyzer based on Libnet and Libpcap.

It can sniff in normal mode or in promiscuos mode the packets on a network interface and log it. It dumps the headers of packets and
the payload in ascii or ascii-hex format. You can apply a filter. The sniffed data can be saved in a separated file.

As analyzer tool, it has many features like:
* Build LAN hosts list
* Follow a TCP-DATA stream
* Find LAN internet gateways
* Discorver promiscous nodes
* Reset an established connection
* Perform a single half-open portscanner
* Perform a multi half-open portscanner
* Find link type (hub or switch)
* Catch daemon banner of LAN nodes
* Control arp answers to discover possible arp-spoofings
* Byte couting with an optional filter
* Write reports logging

It also provides a new ncurses interface

This package contains nbd-server. It is the server backend for the nbd
network block device driver that's in the Linux kernel.

nbd can be used to have a filesystem stored on another machine. It does
provide a block device, not a file system; so unless you put a
clustering filesystem on top of it, you can't access it simultaneously
from more than one client. Use NFS or a real cluster FS (such as
ocfs2) if you want to do this. nbd-server can export a file (which may
contain a filesystem image) or a partition. Swapping over nbd is
possible as well, though it's said not to be safe against OOM and
should not be used for that case. nbd-server also has a copy-on-write
mode where changes are saved to a separate file and thrown away when
the connection closes.

The package also contains the nbd-client tools, which you need to
configure the nbd devices on the client side.

This package contains essential programs for network administration and
maintenance: netstat, hostname, arp, ifconfig, rarp, and route.

A interim network configuration library, currently implementing the
libnetcf interface for libvirt.

The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular
expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics
as Perl 5.

NOTE: This is **NOT** backwards compatible with the pre-1.99 versions.
This is entirely OO-based, hence any older scripts relying on the
old versions will need to be rewritten.

Provides modules: Net::Gen, Net::Inet, Net::TCP, Net::UDP, Net::UNIX,
Net::TCP::Server, and Net::UNIX::Server.

Net::IPv4Addr provides functions for parsing IPv4 addresses both in
traditional address/netmask format and in the new CIDR format. There
are also methods for calculating the network and broadcast address and
also to see check if a given address is in a specific network.

This module provides an object-oriented abstraction on top of IP addresses
or IP subnets, that allows for easy manipulations. Version 4.xx of
NetAdder::IP will will work older versions of Perl and does *not* use
Math::BigInt as in previous versions.

The internal representation of all IP objects is in 128 bit IPv6 notation.
IPv4 and IPv6 objects may be freely mixed.

This is an implementation of Term::ReadLine using the GNU
Readline/History Library. This package also has the interface with the
almost all functions and variables which are documented in the GNU
Readline/History Library Manual.

Tails a given file anywhere on your X Window System root window with a

This package contains the SuSE Advanced X-Configuration

ser2net provides a way for a user to connect from a network connection to a
serial port. It provides all the serial port setup, a configuration file to
configure the ports, a control login for modifying port parameters,
monitoring ports, and controlling ports.

Wmctrl provides command line access to almost all the features defined
in the EWMH specification. Using it, it's possible to, for example,
obtain information about the window manager, get a detailed list of
desktops and managed windows, switch and resize desktops, change number
of desktops, make windows full-screen, always-above or sticky, and
activate, close, move, resize, maximize and minimize them.

The command line access makes it easy to automate these tasks and
execute them from any application that is able to run a command in
response to some event.

Please note that wmctrl only works with window managers which implement
this specification.
