The Sidai team may be best known for providing prototype packages and hosts; however, it also provides some tools as well. A.k.a. ``scripts that the Sidai people found useful''.

Here are the packages for which Sidai provides source code:

ark-prereq-utils: Tools required to get ARK going; these include lndir (make a symlink farm), and ersh (an `rsh'-workalike that returns the exit code of the remote program [and not of `rsh' itself]. (Not original to us.)
backup-utils: The Sidai Way of backups is to use Amanda. Little scripts that aid the Amanda cause will appear here; for example, a shell script that shows you what is on an Amanda tape.
clearcase-utils: If you use the ClearCase configuration-management system from IBM (formerly Rational), you might find a useful script here, or perhaps have one to throw in the pot.
dchunk-utils: Sample scripts that could be modified and then used to turn automount-map and /etc/fstab files into `dchunks' configuration files.
gen-sidai-hosts: Instead of writing configuration files for Solaris, Linux, etc., proto-hosts, use these tools to generate them.
gen-utils: A collection of generally-useful scripts, from find-junk-links (find symlinks that point at nothing), to pt (portable process-tree displayer), to rename (rename files using regular expressions), to relink (ditto, for symlinks' contents)... Almost none original to us.
gnu-config: Copies of config.guess and config.sub from the GNU project.
mail-utils: Little utilities associated with e-mail; e.g. alias-addrs extracts all the addresses from an aliases file; e.g. to pipe into a program that looks for departed users.
mailman-utils: from-majordomo: a sample script which could be modified to convert a Majordomo mailing-list to a Mailman one.
package-utils: If you do package management the Sidai Way, then some of these little utility scripts may be of value.
passwd-utils: Scripts for doing things with /etc/passwd files, e.g. making a shadow password file from a ``regular'' one.
sysadmin-utils: Little utils that only a sysadmin could love; e.g. syslog-select (pluck a day's worth of syslog from a syslog file), or chk-for-stale-VGs (check for stale volume groups when using HP's Mirror/UX.)
user-setup: A simple system for standardized user setups (.profile, .login, etc., files); has its own documentation.
vwrapper: ``Version wrapper'' -- a way to have more than one version of a tool `live' at any one time. Has its own documentation.
webpage-utils: Includes the script used to make these web pages; given a simple Web page (<h1> onwards...), it tops and tails the page, and adds the navigation sidebar. Customizable. Definitely not wondrous, but better than doing it by hand.
