    To make access to the Linux kernel cpufreq subsystem easier for users and cpufreq userspace tools, a cpufrequtils package was created. It contains a library used by other programs (libcpufreq), command line tools to determine current CPUfreq settings and to modify them (cpufreq-info and cpufreq-set), and debug tools. It is licensed under the GPLv2.
  • cpulimit
    cpulimit is a simple program that attempts to limit the cpu usage of a process (expressed in percentage, not in cpu time). This is useful to control batch jobs, when you don't want they eat too much cpu. It does not act on the nice value or other scheduling priority stuff, but on the real cpu usage.
  • Cryptkeeper

  • Daedalus
    Daedalus provides a simple mechanism for running programs in response to the output of "check programs". In practice, this is generally used to provide an automated restart service for programs by checking the output of "ps axww", and running a start script when a particular program fails to appear. However, it can be used for any occasion where you want to automate an action based on an event in the system. Beyond simple restarting of systems, it can be used to send alerts, clean up files, or even start one program when another finishes or reaches a certain point.

This lets you force a process to drop privileges, to redirect a file descriptor to a file or a TCP/IP connection, to connect a descriptor to the descriptor of another running process with a Unix socket, or to set a file descriptor equal to the descriptor of another running process (by using unix file descriptor passing).
  • FIFOs

  • freecolor
    a `free' replacement for Linux that displays free memory graphically
  • FreeDup
    Freedup walks through the file trees (directories) you specify. When it finds two identical files on the same device, it hard links them together. In this case, two or more files still exist in their respective directories, but only one copy of the data is stored on disk; both directory entries point to the same data blocks. If both files reside on different devices, then they are symlinked together unless there are relative paths given (and the -s option is unused).
  • FreeSpeak
    FreeSpeak is a free (as in freedom, developed and released under the terms of GPL) frontend to online translator engines (such as Google or Altavista ones).
