This kills off any open bc instances I have, and then any open rxvts I have which aren't running another program
After a day or so I can easilly have 100+ rxvts in the background, some of which are running vim, some sshed into other servers, but many of which are just old windows I ran to do something briefly but never killed off
== another config differ == Someone else on the team had a nodejs based config checker (a script which every 10 minutes logs into -- like rancid, but looking nice). It broke after some minor change in one of the 456,914 imported scripts, so I bashed together my own and dragged in a visual diff tool.
I looked at rancid but it felt rather cumbersome, and I didn't want to store stuff in an VCS, it was quicker and easier just to do it myself
== vlc multiviewer == I wrote a VLC wrapper in python using a VLC Gtk widgit to give me a multiviewer so I could monitor multicast RTP streams and easilly mute/unmute from a touchscreen
== continuous pinger == Just a program to sit in the background pinging a list of servers continuously, traceroutes every 10 minutes, and storing them, then a webpage to show the results and summarise them (highlighting any losses and pinpointing the exact second, etc)
== multicast test tools == A couple of quite python multicast send/receive tools to check connectivity. The receiver can also dump out an output and generate a jpeg from the contents (using ffmpeg), and ties into monitoring to ensure that the streams are all working and we haven't had something like pim dying on a router (which has happened in the past)
== cheese.sh == Loads up mplayer to cheesefm and logs what's played (ICY Info lines) to a text file (having first rotated the last one)
== sshold == To ssh into old cisco switches. Barely a script
