Subject: PACT 0.5 - Port Accounting & Collection Tool
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 23:11:38 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
PACT - "Port Accounting and Collection Tool" - is a software package to
do complete port accounting for SNMP-manageable devices like routers,
hubs, and switches. Administration is done using an HTML interface with
dynamic data fed through PHP and MySQL database backend.
The following changes have occured since the last announcement (0.4):
V0.5 - 13.2.2000
- had a type-cast-problem in the fix for _fast_ ports and long time
spans, so actually, the overrun problem in the maximum byte
usage wasn't yet corrected in 0.4, but it is now. Anyway, you
should still make sure you run collector at timespans of 5-10
minutes

Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 23:13:14 GMT
Reply-To: p.bizzarri@icube.it
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
We are pleased to announce the availability of the
Process Repository 0.2 for the OpenFlow Project.
OpenFlow is an open source workflow system,
currently under development for the italian public
administrations. It is built on top of the Zope
application server. OpenFlow includes three main
components, under development:
- - the OpenFlow Designer, for the definition of
workflows and processes;
- - the OpenFlow Process Repository, for the storing
and retrieving of all the process definifions;
- - the OpenFlow Engine, for the executions of the
workflows.
The current version of the Repository provides a
set of objects for the Process Definitions, as
specified by the Workflow Management Coalition. It
has to be considered a development version, with
possibily many things broken or subject to
changes. It is useful mainly for understanding how
we are going to build OpenFlow.
You can visit the site of OpenFlow (currently only
in Italian) at www.icube.it/openflow
You can find the downloadable files, mailing list,
etc at: sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=2370

Subject: ObjectThread 0.4.4 - C++ threading toolkit for Linux and Windows
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 23:19:37 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I'm pleased to announce the availability of ObjectThread 0.4.2 -- a C++
threading toolkit for Linux & Windows released under the LGPL.
ObjectThread is a small library dedicated to providing simple but
powerful threading functionality. The current version includes the
following classes (among others):
AutoPtr (Thread-safe reference counted pointer)
Barrier
CancelState/Type Guards
Condition
Lockable & Guard
Mutex
Semaphore
RWLock & Guard
Notifier
FDNotifier (Linux/UNIX only)
EventNotifier (Win32 only)
CallbackNotifier
SeqNotifier
Messenger (Used to send messages with notifiers)
Sequence
LockedQueue
LockedStack
LockedPrioQueue
ThreadPool
Timer
This toolkit was designed to be simple and extensible -- it is easy to
add your own lockable, notifier, sequence, etc and they will all fit
into the library seamlessly.
ObjectThread is currently tested on the following systems/compilers:
Linux:
gcc-2.95.1+ (Makefile included)
Win32:
MSVC++ 5.0 (.dsw included), Borland C++ 5.02 (.ide included)
While this library is extremely useful and useable as it is, I am
looking for interested parties in helping to port it to other unices and
help me refine the Win32 engine (it uses a pthreads-like virtual machine
to implement thread interaction and cancellation (async cancellation
works on Win32, also)).
I am also looking for ideas about what other functionality can be added
to the library.
To download the library:
Go to www3.nbnet.nb.ca/jnye and follow the "Current Software Projects"
link and you'll see directions on how to download it. Documentation is
also included on my site (generated by DOC++). If you are using Netscape
in Windows, good luck trying to download the library (the server does
not recognize mime types). You can try right-clicking on the file and
selecting 'save link as', but I always end up with an incorrect tar.gz
file. The best bet in Windows is to use IE and rename the file offered
to ObjectThread.tar.gz -- don't attempt to save it as html! It is NOT
html. If you are using Linux, you'll have no problem using Netscape and
right clicking on the file and selecting 'save link as'. Good luck. If
you have no end of trouble, email me and I'll email you the latest
version.
Cheerio,
Jason

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Version 2.1.4 of the Open Source release of SGI's Performance Co-Pilot
(PCP) infrastructure for system-level performance monitoring is now
available from http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/
Major changes in this release include:
- Extensions to the Linux kernel agent to export additional
network metrics from /proc/net/snmp and additional disk
throughput metrics.
- Porting changes for Alpha and PowerPC platforms.
- Upgrades to the weblog agent to handle new style Apache
configurations.
- Minor bug fixes.
15 February 2000
- ----------
We would be delighted to receive feedback from users with an interest
in expanding the coverage of PCP in terms of either supported platforms
or collection agents for new sources of performance data or new
monitoring clients. For more information, please refer to
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/contribute.html
- ----------
PCP supports performance monitoring and management with an extensible
framework into which new sources of performance data can easily be
integrated, and new performance monitoring applications developed.
Out-of-the-box performance data includes all performance metrics from
the kernel, per-process performance data, Webserver activity metrics,
sendmail activity, SMTP queues, throughput measures for Cisco routers,
and source-level tracing of application events.
The infrastructure includes remote monitoring over TCP/IP, and a single
API for accessing all performance data from either a real-time source or
an historical archive.

C-Kermit A classic, bulletproof, not slow, and new license.
calc not GNU calc, a simple HP-28 thingy
EPIC/splitfire an IRC client and a non-juvenile colors/etc. script
fonter a dos-style console font editor.
gcc 2.7.2.3 It works.
hc-cron home computer cron.
libc5.4.46 see libc6 below
sc visicalc knock-off for unix. Plenty of math.
SVGATextMode text mode != Dos
rotate like tac, sideways
NASM so you can write virii for Wintendo from Linux
netcat The guy's right. Worthy of a 2-char. name like "ed"
pmail concise little POP/SMTP tool by a Chinese guy
textcolor from the SVGATextMode package, basis of stc.
zgv non-X pic viewer. Use the -J3 switch.
not base, but unusual
Mosaic They probably got the name from "mozilla".
Unusual NON-includes
aub no Perl. I use slrn, suck and Lynx.
C++ no libstdc++, no cc1plus, etc.
emacs I just don't get it. I have an OS, thanks.
gdb handy sometimes. Just too big for cLIeNUX Core.
GNU .info They're in a package. As html.
groff GNU groff needs libstdc++
libc6 You're joking, right? 4 meg?
Perl too big. Many cleaner alternatives.
renames multiple globbing mv. "ren" on metalab.
telnet telnet is a symlink to C-Kermit
minicom C-Kermit also supplants minicom, cu, seyon...
vi No vi. Not one. ed + Pico > vi, and is smaller.
Docs I've written for cLIeNUX
C a seedoc/manpage for basic programming in C.
programming hex, Boole, bits, AND, GOTO etc.
ABOUT the ABOUT files, directory-specific help.
/help/configuration.html
hyperlinks to all your crucial configs
seedocs most of my commands have seedocs
Almost all the usual manpages are converted
also, and I have seedocs for things like
PATH, IFS and so on.
gobs more tips all over the place, like an explanation
of the f switch in "see tar"
cLIeNUX configuration characteristics.
inittab That's it. One init script.
DSFH non-standard non-cryptic non-unix names for the likes
of /etc, with automatable aliases like /.et .
no forced fscks
of course, we fsck like a big dog if asked nicely
re-names "cat" has been renamed to "get". Relax. "cat" is in
your PATH in /command/unix. There's about 50 like that.
This makes things harder for old hands and easier for
newbies. cLIeNUX is like that.
VGA90 90-column stone-VGA text console. For PC's AND PS/2s.
ad nauseum
There will be a minimal-ish "XCore" also. That may or may not be some more
few weeks. The base of it is in ../interim on the above ftp site,
along with some other items above, like the many-syscalls Forths.
