Tools and Utilities
Occasionally, staff members here write quick utilities and scripts to help
perform a task. Often times these are quite simple but you may find them
very useful. As new versions of each utility are written, they will be added
here. We welcome suggestions, comments and especially bugs/errors in any of
the tools found here.
Installation
For all perl scripts (those ending in .pl), make sure that Perl is installed
on your system. For all C programs (those ending in .c), you will need to compile
the programs before running them. In many cases, you will need to copy the data
file (usually named list.*) to /usr/local/bin, or change the location of the file
in the program before compiling. To compile the program:
forced /home/web# ls ani*
-rw------- 1 root root 8632 Sep 1 09:20 ani.c
forced /home/web# gcc -o ani ani.c
forced /home/web# ./ani 602
ANI for 602 is 958-3474 Phoenix, AZ.
forced /home/web#
The above example assumes that the file "list.ani" exists in /usr/local/bin.
Cron-based Utilities
log_rotate.tar.gz
This shell script was created to overcome inadequacies in both Apache rotatelogs
and cron's inability to natively run tasks on the last day of any given month.
Rather than have to have 12 separate cron entries and not be able to handle
Leap Days, this script allows the admin to have just one crontab entry to handle
end-of-month processing. This script automatically archives the past month's
Apache access and error logs during the last minute of the last hour of the last
day of the month. This script can also be adapted to suit other end-of-month
processing.
More information is available here.

Mailing List-Related Tools
subprobe.pl Subscription Bounce Probe

destination address bounce information, this program provides Subject

bounce back to an address the list maintainer specifies. Bad addresses
can then be removed manually.)
