    Various DTrace probes

  • For execsnoop, people running systems with DTrace can find the same:

    * https://github.com/jorgev/dtrace-scripts/blob/master/execsno...

    On macOS Monterey+ you'll probably have to install the Kernel Debug Kit per:

    * https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/692444

    The Linux variant was written Brendan Gregg (who previous did a lot of work on Solaris, where DTrace was created):

    * https://github.com/brendangregg/perf-tools/blob/master/execs...

  • perf-tools

    Performance analysis tools based on Linux perf_events (aka perf) and ftrace

  • vidir

    edit directory in $EDITOR (better than vim . with netrw)

  • I just learned about vidir [1]. Emacs Dired [2] can rename & delete files by editing the buffer directly, and let's say I was thrilled when I saw someone replicated that behavior as a general Unix tool.

  • tqdm

    :zap: A Fast, Extensible Progress Bar for Python and CLI

  • > Like tqdm (Python progressbar library) but as a Unix utility.

    FYI: tqdm can be used in a shell pipeline as well. It's documented (at least) in their readme: https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm#module

  • progress.pl

    Simple perl utility to measure progress of operation based on filedescriptor position from /proc/$PID/fdinfo/

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
