Below is a collection of Linux programs. You may want to use some of these as-is, modify them, or borrow commands from them. Please read each program’s documentation carefully to determine if it is appropriate for your purposes, and read the disclaimer. Most of these programs work on any Linux distribution, and many are scripts which can be easily modified.
