A small collection of command-line scripts for Linux/Unix system administrators, written mostly in Perl and Bash. It centralizes handy utilities like file-age reporting, cron output suppression, CIDR expansion, and duplicate file detection.

Use cases

• show how long ago a file was modified in human-readable form
• suppress cron job output unless the command fails
• expand CIDR ranges into individual IP addresses
• find duplicate files by content hash
• check whether a directory is empty in a shell script
• expand abbreviated IPv6 addresses

When to choose

• you are a sysadmin wanting small standalone utilities without heavy dependencies
• you want a curated personal toolkit of shell-friendly scripts
• you need quick one-off helpers for cron jobs, networking, or file checks

When to avoid

• you need actively developed or feature-rich tools - the successor repo sysbox is preferred
• you need cross-platform (Windows/macOS-first) tooling
• you want polished, documented, packaged software with a clear license
