direvent

Version: 5.3  —  2021-12-30
* Introduce compound events

The "change" event is implemented on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.  This
event is delivered when a file was modified and closed.

* New configuration statement for manipulating the environment.

The "environ" statement is now a compound statement. It can contain
five kinds of substatements: "clear" to clear the environment, "keep"
to retain certain variables while clearing the environment, "set" to
set a variable, "unset" to unset a variable or variables, and "eval"
to evaluate a variable reference for side effects.

Both "keep" and "unset" can take globbing pattern as their argument,
in which case they affect all variables matching that pattern. 

The value part in the "set" statement is subject to variable
expansion.

The "environ" block can appear in global context as well.  In this
case it applies to all watchers.

The support for the old one-line "environ" syntax is retained for
backward compatibility.

* Variable expansion in arguments to some configuration statements.

Both macro and environment variables are expanded in arguments to all
substatements of the new "environ" block statement and in the argument
to the "command" statement.  In the latter case, expansion of the
environment variables is controlled by the "shell" option.  If the
option is set, the variable will be expanded by the shell.  Otherwise,
they are expanded by direvent prior to invoking the command.

* Rewrite the recursive watching support

In particular, this fixes the bug where recursive watchers silently
assumed that the "create" generic event was configured for the
watcher.

* Change interface for bulk closing of file descriptors

To speed up launching of the user commands, system-dependent
interfaces for closing the file descriptors above the given one are
used, if available.
	  
Category:
Description:

GNU Direvent monitors a set of directories on the file system and reacts when their content changes. When a change is detected, the program invokes an external command configured for that kind of change.

grayupload

Version: 1.1  —  2024-01-07
* Automatic release type

Release type can be determined automatically, from version numbers of
the files to be uploaded.  To do so, version number semantics must
be declared in the configuration file using the "version_semantics"
statements:

  version_semantics gnu
     Assumes GNU version semantics: two-part version numbers
     (e.g. 1.0) or three-part numbers whose third value (patchlevel)
     is numerically less than 90 mean "stable" releases.  Three-part
     numbers with patchlevel greater than or equal to 90 mean "alpha"
     releases.

  version_semantics kernel
     Even major numbers correspond to "stable" releases.  Odd major
     numbers correspond to "alpha" releases.

The program is built as a sub-agent for Net-SNMP snmpd and is Linux-specific.

idest

Version: 2.1  —  2017-03-11
* Convert textual frames to/from the currently used character set

The character set is deduced from the locale settings.  It can also be
set explicitly using the --charset option.

* New option --broken-8bit-encoding

Use this option for files where textual frames are stored as
ISO-8859-1, but are actually using another 8-bit encoding.  The
argument to this option is the name of the enchoding actually used.

In query mode, this option helps display such frames properly.

Use it with the --fixup option to fix such frames in the file.

* New option --encoding

Specifies encoding to store textual frames in ID3 tags.

* New option --fixup

Modifies the ID3 v2 tag so that it can be understood by most devices.

* The --convert option can be used to remove unnecessary ID3 formats.

mailfromd

Version: 9.0  —  2024-01-05
* Compatibility .mf suffix not supported any more

* Begin and end handlers must be defined using prog keyword

* Module and include search paths

Since version 8.15, if a module was not found in module search path,
the search was retried using include search path.  This is no longer
the case: the two paths serve different purposes and don't interact
in any way.  MFL modules are searched in module search path only.

* Use of Sendmail macros in run mode

Sendmail macros can be defined in run mode by placing assignments
macro=value before the script file name, e.g.:

  mailfromd --run i=123 client_addr=::1 test.mfl foo bar baz

This example defines Sendmail macro "i" to "123" and "client_addr" to
"::1".  The words "foo", "bar", and "baz" will be passed to the
main function as positional parameters.

* Full IPv6 support

This causes changes in the following MFL functions (see also "New functions",
below):

** dns_query

 number dns_query (number TYPE, string DOMAIN; number SORT, number RESOLVE)

The semantics and possible values of the RESOLVE argument have
changed.  It used to be a boolean value.  Now its allowed values (as
defined in status.mfl module) are:

     'RESOLVE_NONE'
          Don't resolve hostnames to IP addresses.  This is the default.

     'RESOLVE_DFL'
          Resolve hostnames to IP addresses according to the address
          family of the SMTP session.  That is, use 'A' records if the
          client connected using the INET family (i.e.  connected to the
          IPv4 address), and use 'AAAA' records if the client connected
          to the IPv6 address.

     'RESOLVE_IP4'
          Resolve hostnames to IPv4 addresses ('A' records).

     'RESOLVE_IP6'
          Resolve hostnames to IPv6 addresses ('AAAA' records).

Values of these constants has been selected so that any existing
code using 0/1 as the value of this argument will work without
changes.

** primitive_resolve and resolve functions

 string primitive_resolve (string HOST; string DOMAIN, number FAMILY)
 string resolve (string HOST; string DOMAIN, number FAMILY)

The use of DOMAIN argument is deprecated.

By default the function selects the type of RR set to search for
using the address family of the SMTP connection: A is used for INET
(IPv4 addresses) and AAAA is used for INET6 (IPv6 addresses).

New argument FAMILY can be used to request particular RR type.  Its
possible values are:

     'RESOLVE_DFL'
          Look for 'A' or 'AAAA', depending on the connection type.
          This is the default.

     'RESOLVE_IP4'
          Resolve to IPv4 addresses ('A' records).

     'RESOLVE_IP6'
          Resolve to IPv6 addresses ('AAAA' records).

* New functions

** string is_ipstr(string S)

Returns 1 if S is a string representation of an IP address (IPv4 or
IPv6).

** string is_ip4str(string S)

Returns 1 if S is a string representation of an IPv4 address.

** string is_ip6str(string S)

Returns 1 if S is a string representation of an IPv6 address.

** string reverse_ipstr(string IP)

Returns a reversed representation of the IP address, suitable for
use in DNS labels.

** string tr(string SUBJ, string SET1, string SET2)

Transliterates characters in SUBJ by replacing all occurrences of the
characters found in SET1 with the positionally corresponding characters
in SET2.  Character ranges ('a-z') are allowed in both sets.  A character
range in SET1 translates to a corresponding character from the range in
SET2, e.g. tr(x, 'a-z', 'A-Z') translates string x to uppercase.

Character classes ([a-z], [[:alpha:]], etc) are allowed in SET1 and
translate to the corresponding single character from SET2, e.g.
tr(x, '[[:digit:]]', '_') replaces all decimal digits in string x with
underscores.

** string dc(string SUBJ, string SET)

Deletes from SUBJ characters that appear in SET.  The syntax of SET is as
described for SET1 above.

** string sq(string SUBJ, string SET)

"Squeeze repeats".  Replaces each sequence of a repeated character
that is listed in SET, with a single occurrence of that character.

* Changes in match_cidr function.

The match_cidr function is re-implemented as a built-in.

The module match_cidr.mfl is deprecated.

* Deprecated MFL modules

The following MFL modules are deprecated.  They are retained for
backward compatibility.  Existing code using any of these will compile
and work as in previous releases, except that a warning will be
printed to draw your attention to the fact.  You are advised to remove
any uses of these modules, as they will be removed in future versions:

** match_cidr.mfl

This module is not needed any more.

** is_ip.mfl

This module defines function is_ip() which is superseded by is_ipstr()
built-in (see above).

** revip.mfl

This module defines function revip() which is superseded by
reverse_ipstr() built-in.

rex

Version: 4.1  —  2022-03-17
* Hostgroup stack

Rex now maintains a stack of hostgroups.  Once you push a hostgroup
name on stack, that hostgroup will be used by any subsequent rex
command, unless it is given the -g option.  The new command "group"
(see below) provides ways to pop items off the stack, swap arbitrary
element with the top of stack, select new hostgroups on the fly, etc.

* New command: rex group

The "rex group" command has the following forms:

  rex group push GROUP
    Push GROUP on stack.

  rex group pop
    Pop the topmost group off the stack.

  rex group swap N
    Exchange top of the stack with the Nth element (0-based).

  rex group drop N
    Remove Nth element from the stack.

  rex group select COMMAND ARGS...
    Create on top of the stack a temporary group that contains
    those hosts from the current hostgroup where the supplied
    shell command returns success, i.e. exits with code 0.

  rex group show
    List the contents of the hostgroup stack.

* Add configuration function for overriding PTR records from rc files
	  
Category:
Description:

Rex is a remote execution utility that runs a supplied command on a set of remote hosts. Arbitrary data can be supplied to the command in the form of local files, which will be transferred to each remote host prior to running the command and removed afterwards. Both parallel and sequential execution is supported.

Special mode exists to distribute a file or files to several hosts.

Rex is written in TCL and has extensive scripting facilities. It provides a convenient way to administrate multiple servers.

The program is designed to operate in a minimalistic environment. It is self-contained and does not need any external libraries.

In full upgrade, all packages from the new release are installed. A combination of the two can be achieved by supplying a list of additional Slackware series when running the normal upgrade.

slb

Version: 1.1  —  2012-03-30
* Support SNMPv3
* Default SNMP version is 2c
* Use newer Grecs
* Drop unneeded dependencies
* Variable assignments in expressions
* Detection of SNMP counter overflows
* Comma operator
* Support for indexed MIBs

This feature allows you to use symbolic names instead of the fixed MIBs
for MIBs that are part of SNMP subtrees.  For example, to get number of
packets sent over eth0 into variable "out", you would do the following:

    table iftable IF-MIB::ifDescr;
    variable out "IF-MIB::ifOutUcastPkts.$iftable[eth1]";

The first statement converts the subtree into a "table" named "iftable".
The second statement references an entry in this table that has
the value "eth1".  For example, if the SNMP tree has the following MIB

    IF-MIB::ifDescr.10: eth0

then the expression "$iftable[eth]" yields "10"

* Assertion syntax changed.

The assertion statement takes a single argument, which must be a
string consisting of the following three parts:

   <oid: string> [!]<opcode>[/i] <value: string>

The <opcode> part can be either an arithmetical operator (=, <, <=, >,
>=), or any of the following string operators:

    eq          string equality
    ne          string inequality
    prefix      oid value must begin with <value>
    suffix      oid value must end with <value>
    glob        <value> is a glob(7) pattern that oid value must match
    
Each of these can be suffixed with "/i" to request case-insensitive comparison.

A "!" in front of opcode reverts its meaning.   

The <value> part must not include the type prefix.

	  
Category:
Description:

A simple load balancer. The utility monitors a set of remote servers, obtaining a set of numeric values via SNMP. These values are used to compute a single floating-point number, called a relative load for that server. The servers are then sorted in order of increasing loads and the resulting table is output (using a configurable format string) to a file or pipe.

Version: 2.3  —  2023-11-15
* Fix check for hostname presence in the message
	  
Category:
Description:

This program provides system log forwarding facility for confined environments, such as docker containers. It listens for incoming system log messages on the UNIX socket file /dev/log and forwards them to the specified remote server. Relayed messages are normalized to make sure they comply with the RFC 3164. In particular, hostname is added if necessary. This is important in docker environments, since otherwise the collector would insert the IP address of the container or gateway in place of the missing hostname, and neither IP is informative enough to identify the container where the message originated.

Category:
Description:

Monitors state of running docker containers via SNMP. The package provides two utilities:

  • tallyman

    A health state collector to be run inside the container.

  • stevedore

    A container state collector and SNMP agent daemon.

Each container is supposed to run the tallyman command as part of its HEALTHCHECK configuration. This tool takes as its argument the command line that does the actual checking, collects its return and sends it over to the stevedore daemon that acts as a collector and simultaneously as a SNMP subagent, delivering the collected information to the snmpd daemon.

xenv

Version: 4.1  —  2023-02-23
* Diagnostic directives: $$warning and $$error

The $$warning directive emits warning message.  It does not alter exit
status in any way.

The $$error directive reports a fatal error and sets exit status to
65.

After both directives, processing is resumed at the next line.

* $$exit

New directive $$exit causes immediate termination of the program.
Decimal exit code may be supplied as argument.

* New directive: $$eval

The text between $$eval and $$end is expanded and the resulting
expansion is scanned again, producing the actual output.  This makes
it possible to create variable names on the fly and get their values.
Useful in loops, e.g.:

  $$loop I 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
  $$  eval
  \$\$ ifset VAR_$I
  Expand \$VAR_$I;
  \$\$ endif
  $$ end
  $$end

Category:
Description:

Xenv is a text preprocessor. It reads input from files (or the standard input, if none are supplied) and prints it on the standard output, replacing references to environment variables with their actual values. Variables are referenced using POSIX-compatible shell syntax: $NAME, ${NAME}, ${NAME:-word}, ${NAME+=word}, ${NAME:=word}, ${NAME:?word}. A special ternary construct is provided: ${NAME:|word1|word2}, which substitutes the expansion of word1 if NAME is set and the expansion of word2 otherwise. Preprocessor directives provide support for inclusion of external files, conditional text expansion (depending on the value of an environment variable or exit code of an external command), diversions, for and foreach loops etc.
