gidget is a simple interface to linux inotify, written in C. It lets you execute scripts or programs when filesystem events are detected by the linux kernel.

zaoe (pronounced "zowie") is an init script for AoE on Red Hat Enterprise linux versions 3 to 6. The point of using this script is that you don't have to do much other than put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d and use ntsysv or chkconfig to light it up. Like nearly all Red Hat init scripts, it wants a parameter file, which you should name /etc/sysconfig/aoe (no Z!). If you are mounting LVM volumes that are part of physical volume groups accessed through AoE, you will need to include the string "AoE" (case sensitive!) in the volume group names, and you shouldn't embed that string in the names of any volume groups that aren't using AoE.

shootsnap is a backup utility based on Mike Rubel's idea, written in bash. It was originally called the wayback machine, but then a bunch of pushy librarian types stole the name. I've always intended to port it to the most excellent busybox, but I suppose Apple would put a horse's head in my bed or something, since it is pretty much a prior implementation of their Time Machine product. Anyway it uses a dead simple, printcap-style configuration file syntax, which may bring tears to the eyes of those who truly understand the horror of binary registries, and it probably should not be used by anyone unfamiliar with setting up and securing ssh passwordless access. If you want to try it anyway, please don't create any unrestricted keys that execute as root.

makeHome is a Windows powershell script for creating user home directories on Windows DFS. It queries Active Directory to find the information required to do this, but supplies defaults if that information does not exist. It assumes that the user executing the script has appropriate acess and permissions and requires minor site-specific modifications before use.

ldapsync was written in perl to trivially manage OpenLDAP replica provisioning and update. At one time this code was in use in many facilities, but it is now essentially obsolete due to improvements in the way OpenLDAP manages directory data, so I have deactivated the link.

groupx is a web based utility for navigating LDAP groups, written in PHP for apache. I have also deactivated this link as the code has been unmaintained for several years. Derivative works remain in use and are maintained by the corporation that owns those works.
