Codelets: Miscellaneous Stuff

Asterisk-ECA is a patch to Asterisk 1.0 stable which modified app_dial to allow a called user to be prompted to accept or reject a call. ECA stands for Explicit Call Acceptance. This tarball comes with two sample audio files to do the prompting. They are NOT professionally recorded and do NOT match Allison, the Voice of Asterisk. This patch is released GPL. It may or may not be included in future releases of Asterisk (mostly depending on when I get un-lazy and update the patch for asterisk/trunk).

makechroot.pl is a simple perl script designed to automate much of the work required in creating chroot directories. Reading a list of files from a specified chroot.conf, makechroot.pl automatically works out all shared library dependencies (if applicable) and recursively copies both the binary and any shared libs preserving symbolic links, device node major/minor numbers, directory structure and file permissions where appropriate. A sample chroot.conf is included.

This directory contains a tool used to sort Apache standard logfiles by their timestamp. Multiple entries with the same timestamp are handled correctly. It is probably not the most efficient or fast sorter ever written but it does work reliably for me.

Note that you must have enough memory to load the entire file to be sorted into perl hash tables for this script to work.

toc.js is a tool to help people who still believe vim is a great HTML editor.

toc.js automates the creation of a Table of Contents. This is helpful the first time you have to add an entry to a numbered chapter set. The idea comes from various wiki implementations which allow a TOC to be dynamically generated based on page content. This is a very simple implementation of that logic in javascript.

toc.js is used throughout this and other pages on Alkaloid Networks :: Projects.

checkubc.rb is a script to monitor the health of OpenVZ containers by reading /proc/user_beancounters. It can be configured to send alerts when any beancounter gets within a certain perecentage of the barrier limit as well as when the failcnt increases. Requires the gdbm, Time, and Net::SMTP libraries, which are part of most standard Ruby installations.
