SiLT: simple Linux tools
I’ve started a new open source project called SiLT. You can find it at http://code.google.com/p/silt. It is a collection of Linux tools that I find useful. For example, it contains:
- runcmd: A tool to run other commands with many useful options. runcmd is particularly useful for running experiments. Supported options include
- Setting a timeout value for the spawned command.
- Setting the cpu affinity.
- Recording the spawned command’s exit value and resource usage to a file.
- grep-recursive: A tool that combines grep and find to perform a recursive grep. It allows options such as only searching in files with specific file types. For example, a developer may only want to search in .h, .c, and .cpp files.
- replace: A tool that performs global replacements in files, for those that don’t know sed/awk.
- getctypeinfo: A program that prints out the number of bits in and the min and max values of many common C types.
