Lifelines is terminal-based program that allows the tracking of
genealogical information. The lifelines reports are the power of the
system but requires knowledge in the ll format.

Nail is a mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1. It is
intended to provide the functionality of the POSIX.2 mailx command with
additional support for MIME messages, POP3, and SMTP. In recent system
environments, nail is Unicode/UTF-8 capable. Further, it contains some
minor enhancements like the ability to set a "From:" address.

The man system in SUSE Linux (package man) does not need a whatis
database. Nevertheless some manual browsers, such as tkman, still need
this database. For this reason, we included this package.

A program for displaying man pages on the screen or sending them to a
printer (using groff).

Metamail is required for reading multimedia mail messages (such as
those using the Andrew toolkit) with elm.

The mingetty program is a lightweight, minimalistic getty program for
use on virtual consoles only. Mingetty is not suitable for serial lines
(you should use the mgetty program for this purpose).

A very powerful mail user agent. It supports (among other nice things)
highlighting, threading, and PGP. It takes some time to get used to,
however.

As soon as a text application needs to directly control its output to
the screen (if it wants to place the cursor at location (x,y) then
write text), ncurses is used. The panel and the forms libraries are
included in this package. These new libraries support color, special
characters, and panels.

A nice program that changes your cursor into a cat playing with your
mouse cursor. The manual page shows more possibilities to change your
cursor.

A driver for Lexmark printers 7000, 7200, and 5700. This driver
translates PBM (Portable Bitmap) into the printer protocol for the
Lexmark printers 7000, 7200, and 5700.

A public domain Korn Shell clone.

The GNU plotting utilities consist of seven command line programs: the
graphics programs `graph', `plot', `tek2plot', and `plotfont', and the
mathematical programs `spline', `ode', and `double'. GNU `libplot' is
distributed with these programs; it is the library on which the
graphics programs are based. `Libplot' is a function library for
device-independent two-dimensional vector graphics, including vector
graphics animations under the X Window System.

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, 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.
