Friday Freebie

It just wouldn't be Friday without a freebie. This one is a useful set of command line utilities for Windows that makes administration of web, database, and general purpose servers just a bit easier...
This bundle of freeware tools from Tools4ever for Windows comprises a set of CLI tools.

It includes:

  • T4eWebPing: Gets the response time and header code for any input URL; great for testing scripts, execution times and 404 errors on your website
  • T4eSQL: Connects to any ODBC database and executes a custom query, results can be written to a text file; useful for database monitoring (systables).
  • T4eDirSize: Gets the free and used space of any directory or share, also counts the number of special files (encrypted, readonly, hidden, system, etc); great for monitoring free space and file statistics.
  • T4ePortPing: Connects to any TCP/IP port and retrieves the response time and error code.
  • T4eRexec: This command line utility is similar to the Windows REXEC command, but accepts a password as input and can therefore run in unattended mode.
  • T4eSSH: A secure implementation of the SSH protocol to get access to a UNIX/Linux operating system.
  • T4eUnixInfo: This tool uses the REXEC daemon to remotely execute several pre-defined scripts compatible with Linux, to get system specific information such as DISK, MEMORY, SWAP and CPU.
  • T4eSSHUnixInfo: This tool uses the SSH daemon to securely execute several pre-defined scripts compatible with Linux, to get system specific information such as DISK, MEMORY, SWAP and CPU.

Happy scripting!
