The "procinfo" command gathers some system data from the /proc
directory and prints it nicely formatted on the standard output device.

Sendmail calls procmail to deliver email into a local folder. Procmail
can be configured to store e-mail in different folders.

The procps package contains a set of system utilities that provide
system information. Procps includes ps, free, skill, snice, tload, top,
uptime, vmstat, w, and watch. The ps command displays a snapshot of
running processes. The top command provides a repetitive update of the
statuses of running processes. The free command displays the amounts of
free and used memory on your system. The skill command sends a
terminate command (or another specified signal) to a specified set of
processes. The snice command is used to change the scheduling priority
of specified processes. The tload command prints a graph of the current
system load average to a specified tty. The uptime command displays the
current time, how long the system has been running, how many users are
logged on, and system load averages for the past one, five, and fifteen
minutes. The w command displays a list of the users who are currently
logged on and what they are running. The watch program watches a
running program. The vmstat command displays virtual memory statistics
about processes, memory, paging, block I/O, traps, and CPU activity.

The psmisc package contains utilities for managing processes on your
system: pstree, killall and fuser. The pstree command displays a tree
structure of all of the running processes on your system. The killall
command sends a specified signal (SIGTERM if nothing is specified) to
processes identified by name. The fuser command identifies the PIDs of
processes that are using specified files or filesystems.

This archive contains utilities for manipulating PostScript documents.
Page selection and rearrangement are supported, including arrangement
into signatures for booklet printing, and page merging for n-up
printing.

psbook rearranges pages into signatures

psselect selects pages and page ranges

pstops performs general page rearrangement and selection

psnup put multiple pages per physical sheet of paper

psresize alter document paper size

epsffit fits an EPSF file to a given bounding box

You will find a README in /usr/share/doc/packages/psutils/ which also
describes several Perl scripts for importing PostScript files. A manual
page for each ps utility is also included.

This package contains the python binding that require the magic "file"
interface.

The "Unix System Administration Handbook" calls sendmail "The most
complex and complete mail delivery system in common use..." .

Ready-made configuration files are included for systems connected by
TCP/IP (with or without a name server) and for systems using UUCP.

'procmail' is used as a local mail agent.

"sendmail" is a trademark of Sendmail, Inc.

su-wrapper is a little utility that allows special users to execute
processes under another uid and gid.

It uses a table (/etc/su-wrapper.conf) to decide whatto do in certain
situation. Therefore it walks through the table and tries to match the
current situation (the later entries have precedence).

For more information, read /usr/share/doc/packages/su-wrapper/README.

The syslogd daemon is the general system logging daemon, which is
responsible for handling requests for syslog services.

This version of syslogd is similar to the standard Berkeley product,
but with a number of compatible extensions.

System V style init programs by Miquel van Smoorenburg that control the
booting and shutdown of your system. These support a number of system
runlevels, each one associated with a specific set of utilities. For
example, the normal system runlevel is 3, which starts a getty on
virtual consoles tty1-tty6. Runlevel 5 starts xdm. Runlevel 0 shuts
down the system. See the individual man pages for inittab, initscript,
halt, init, killproc, killall5, powerd, reboot, runlevel, shutdown, and
telinit for more information.

Tcsh is an enhanced, but completely compatible, version of the Berkeley
UNIX C shell, csh(1). It is a command language interpreter usable as an
interactive login shell and a shell script command processor. It
includes a command-line editor, programmable word completion, spelling
correction, a history mechanism, job control, and a C-like syntax.

The termcap library.

A really nice drawing program which is especially useful in cooperation
with LaTeX. Note the documentation and COPYRIGHT file in
/usr/share/doc/packages/texcad.

Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to
produce both online information and printed output. Using Texinfo, you
can create a printed document with the normal features of a book,
including chapters, sections, cross-references, and indices. From the
same Texinfo source file, you can create a menu-driven, online info
file with nodes, menus, cross-references, and indices.

Aggregated with texinfo in this package is texi2html and texi2roff.

This package provides the binary coded programs for package texlive.
For a description see package texlive.

TransFig is a set of tools for creating TeX documents with graphics
that are portable in the sense that they can be printed in a wide
variety of environments.

The transfig directory contains the source for the transfig command
which generates a Makefile which translates Fig code to various
graphics description languages using the fig2dev program. In previous
releases, this command was implemented as a shell script.

Ian Taylor's Unix to Unix copy: mail and news over modem lines. This is
the standard UUCP package from the Free Software Foundation. It is
configured to use HoneyDanBer or Taylor configuration files. With
version 6.0 of SuSE Linux, the configuration directory has been moved
to /etc/uucp. Exactly: Taylor config: /etc/uucp HoneyDanBer
config: /etc/uucp/hdb_config If you have your own setup under
/var/lib/uucp, please move it to /etc/uucp. Example configurations can
be found in /usr/share/doc/packages/uucp.

We did not include a uucp guest account. If you want to create a guest
account, make sure the directory /var/spool/uucppublic exists.

This program answers your e-mail when you are lying on the beach.

This program uses another locker program to lock the screen
automatically after an idle period. It may, e.g., be called as follows:

xautolock -locker "xlock -mode blank"

using xlock as locker program.

This is a library that can be used instead of the standard
Athena-Widget-Library. It has tried to keep the standard of the libXaw
library. There are also programs which explicitly use this library
(this is the reason why the library was included).

NOTE: Do NOT replace /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6.1!

The SuSE Linux background for your XDM workstation.

Some useful scripts for using SuSE Linux as an X terminal.

You will find the documentation in the following directory

This is the current version of XEmacs, formerly known as Lucid-Emacs.
It is related to other versions of Emacs, in particular GNU Emacs. Its
emphasis is on modern graphical user interface support and an open
software development model, similar to Linux.

Lisp macros are not necessarily interchangeable between GNU-Emacs and
XEmacs. This is mainly important for translated .elc files and the key
macros.

A collection of additional lisp packages for XEmacs. You must install
this package when you want to use the XEmacs package, they are needed
for most non-trivial XEmacs functions.
