This is evenmoreutils, a collection of command line tools inspired by moreutils. Both complement the standard *NIX toolset (ls, grep, less etc). The name is a reference to the GNU coreutils. The tools are:
- age: prints file age in seconds / checks if older/newer than seconds
- anywait: like wait, but works on any process in the system
- ched: cached run of a command
- fit: truncates a stream by fitting it into a certain width
- hilite: runs a command, highlight stderr
- hl: highlight some expressions on a stream
- mime: prints the mimetype of a file (alias for
file -bi) - nup: n-up an output from a program
- p: runs parallel processes tagging or highlighting their output
- pad: pads a stream with whitespaces to fit a certain width
- randpar: output a random parameter
- repeat: repeats a command, indefinitely or n times
- untl: runs a program until it is sucessful
- whle: runs a program until it fails
- sgetopt: an easier-to-use version of the getopt library
- easy-getopt: an easier-to-use version of the getopt command line tool
They are currently experimental tools. There are some known bugs (check the manpages of each command for details). Code is quick-and-dirty on several of them. Patches are welcome :-)
