12 Adjtimex reads and optionally sets adjustment parameters for
13 the Linux clock adjustment algorithm.
19 Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab
20 files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
22 config CONFIG_FEATURE_CROND_CALL_SENDMAIL
23 bool " Using /usr/sbin/sendmail?"
25 depends on CONFIG_CROND
27 Support call /usr/sbin/sendmail for send cmd outputs.
33 Crontab manipulates the crontab for a particular user. Only
34 the superuser may specify a different user and/or crontab directory.
40 Dc is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited
47 'last' displays a list of the last users that logged into the system.
53 Get/Set hard drive parameters. Primarily intended for ATA
54 drives. Adds about 13k (or around 30k if you enable the
55 CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY option)....
57 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY
58 bool " Support obtaining detailed information directly from drives"
60 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
62 Enables the -I and -Istdin options to obtain detailed information
63 directly from drives about their capabilities and supported ATA
64 feature set. Enabling this option will add about 16k...
66 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_SCAN_HWIF
67 bool " Register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
69 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
71 Enables the 'hdparm -R' option to register an IDE interface.
72 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
74 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF
75 bool " Un-register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
77 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
79 Enables the 'hdparm -U' option to un-register an IDE interface.
80 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
82 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DRIVE_RESET
83 bool " perform device reset (DANGEROUS)"
85 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
87 Enables the 'hdparm -w' option to perform a device reset.
88 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
90 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_TRISTATE_HWIF
91 bool " tristate device for hotswap (DANGEROUS)"
93 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
95 Enables the 'hdparm -x' option to tristate device for hotswap,
96 and the '-b' option to get/set bus state. This is dangerous
97 stuff, so you should probably say N.
99 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GETSET_DMA
100 bool " get/set using_dma flag (DANGEROUS)"
102 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
104 Enables the 'hdparm -d' option to get/set using_dma flag.
105 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
107 config CONFIG_MAKEDEVS
111 'makedevs' is a utility used and created by the Linux Router Project.
112 It creates a large number of device special files (/dev devices)
113 rather quickly, and can be considerably faster then running mknod a
120 Mt is used to control tape devices. You can use the mt utility
121 to advance or rewind a tape past a specified number of archive
124 config CONFIG_STRINGS
128 Strings prints the printable character sequences for each file
135 The time command runs the specified program with the given arguments.
136 When the command finishes, time writes a message to standard output
137 giving timing statistics about this program run.
139 config CONFIG_WATCHDOG
143 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or softwate watchdog
144 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
145 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
146 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
147 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
148 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
