supervise monitors a service. It starts the service and restarts the service if it dies. The companion svc program stops, pauses, or restarts the service on sysadmin request. The svstat program prints a one-line status report. cyclog writes a log to disk. It automatically synchronizes the log every 100KB (by default) to guarantee data integrity after a crash. It automatically rotates the log to keep it below 1MB (by default). If the disk fills up, cyclog pauses and then tries again, without losing any data. accustamp puts a precise timestamp on each line of input. The timestamp is a numeric TAI timestamp with microsecond precision. The companion tailocal program converts TAI timestamps to local time. usually watches a log for lines that do not match specified patterns, copying those lines to stderr. The companion errorsto program redirects stderr to a file. setuser runs a program under a user's uid and gid. Unlike su, setuser does not gain privileges; it does not check passwords, and it cannot be run except by root.
