A pxe boot environment with recovery tools and a redhat kickstart environment

pxe-kexec is a program that reads a PXELINUX configuration file, prompts the user for an entry like the PXELINUX program would do and finally boots that entry using Kexec.

qinit is a fast, small, simple replacement for init. It does NOT read rc.d, or init.d; rather it is configured similarly to dwm. Meant to be built against dietlibc.

rc.stupid a Linux daemon that: - repeatedly runs a start script at system startup until this script exits with zero status - regulary runs a check script - runs a stop script at system shutdown Why ? Because startup systems like systemd and upstart are sometimes hard to tune in many situations, like MySQL data directory on a networked filesystem. As rc.stupid does nothing other as running scripts (or anything that may be executed) you may find other use cases like simple clustering.

rcstagger is a network aware process monitoring system designed to work alongside the init process (Note that it makes no attempt to replace init). It utilizes openssl to maintain PKI authentication to verify the identify of sibling daemons and any control clients.

A boot-Image (cramfs) written in shell-script to boot from various Devices (file-images, block-devices, crypto-container, vfat, ext2, ext3, ext4, ntfs, etc.)

runNetworking.sh: Bash Script for Detect and Configure Wireless Networks: Using paired combinations of essid-key_script values, Tested on Linux Based Systems

Boot the T-Online Vision S100 (or other x86 PCs) using TFTP via the builtin WiFi/WLAN adapter. To make this possible a mini linux is booted from the DOM configuring and connecting the adapter using DHCP/PXE (WEP/WPA) and start the new kernel using kexec

serel is software that helps computers boot faster. serel adds synchronisation and integrity-checking to the operating system service startup phase, allowing a computer's services to start in parallel.

Swissnux is live distributive, that contains useful administrative tools: Superb Mini Server, Clonezilla and GParted. ISO image is bootable. You can choose one of these systems from menu. The size of image is about 650 Mb, so, it can be burned to CD-disk.

Various script tools for Linux. Current projects: encrypted volume management.

tcron integrates 'cron/at' with ATX power-up capability. It can invoke multiple cron/at jobs with power-up/shutdown a day. You can use it to: 1. Power up to play muisc/sound and shutdown (super alarm). 2. Record TV/Radio programs

This loadable kernel module (LKM) allows the overlaying of several seperate file-systems (which are potentially read-only) to allow reading from either fs and writing to one of them. Gives the unionfs of other OS\'s to linux (linux-2.4 mostly).

Init system to start/initialize 3rd party tools for TomTom Navigation systems.

Report historical and statistical running time of system and other components, keeping it between reboots. Like uptime command but with more interesting output. NOTE: Tuptime was completely rewriten in python and now its available in https://github.com/rfrail3/tuptime

Currently lilo and bootsplash theme. More themes to be included later on.

If you build a root file system you often have to become root on your own host to call chown mknod and so on. With ufile you can do that things for another machine in a save way without the need becoming root on your own host. For more information have a glance at README.odt in the package.

This tool is a user-mode-linux start-stop perl scripts, which with you can start (or stop) a certain number of uml kernel, giving certain parameters on cmdline (ips, hostname, ...) and let's It automagically does all.

Repair the bootsector of Windows XP MBR. If restoring an image (e.g. clonezilla) to a different partition (sector) you won't be able to boot. This python-script (only linux) will repair the start position in the boot-sector of your windows partition.

DongSheng Yun network laboratory network dedicated to research, development and production technology of virtual disk management system, the core product WL-iSCSI_Server is the leading virtual disk management software.

yaMOS stands for: yet another "My Operating System". This is a hobby Operating System, let's see to what it develops... At the moment it's only a kernel written in C++ and Assemly.
