xbatmon-simple: a very simple X client for displaying battery charge status.

xduplic-copier: a very simple X client for typing into multiple windows at once.

watershed: a utility for saving on superfluous executions of an idempotent command. (This is the same utility as shipped separately in Ubuntu’s udev, but with slightly different defaults and a different install location.)

rcopy-repeatedly: a utility for repeatedly copying a file from one host to another, to keep a copy constantly up to date.

acctdump: for reading process accounting files.
