World Wide Backup is a free script that will allow you to backup your website and even gives you the option to FTP that backup to another server. Requires that your server has Tar (most UNIX/Linux based systems do). For the FTP option, you also will need the Net::FTP module installed on your server (again, most do). The script also can email you when the backup is finished (or if there was an error). Perfect for Cobalt servers.

This is a web server status checking script, called using a simple image tag embedded within a web page. It can be setup to check multiple / individual web pages, web servers or domains. If the script finds the web server is serving http requests it will display a 'live' image. Very useful if you want visitors to a gateway / portal page to be able to check which of your mirror web sites are active. In this release I've added security features, this stops the script being abused, Server Status now only requests the first 6000 bytes of a target web page. Other minor issues corrected.

NStouch is a nameserver tool written in Perl and PHP. The perl script monitors all nameservers that are put into the config file nameservers.dat. It will email the admin when the nameserver(s) go down, keep a log, and tell you the % uptime. It also includes a php interface for interacting with the script from the web. This tool can be combined with MRTG to graph output and see the response times.

REOBack (pronounced "ray-o-back") is a backup solution designed for Linux users and system administrators. It is designed to be simple to set up, and easy to use. It is great as a quick solution for those who procrastinate about backups. It supports automatic full/incremental backups of files you define, remote backups via NFS or FTP, as well as auto deletion of old backups.

This CGI script displays all important information about your server including environmental variables, the path to your Perl, PHP, Python program, available perl modules on your server and also server hardware information such as CPU model, CPU speed and memory usage.

This program spiders all your domains, emails if any are found to be down. Site Spider is a "spider" that queries web connectivity to any number of domains to see that are responding. A useful tool if you are responsible for a large number of domains and want to make sure that not only is the server itself up but the website is accepting http request and serving up pages to your site. It can run off cron so you can set it to spider as regularly as you require.

InfoWatcher is a package of PERL programs that aid Administrators in monitoring systems, logs and processes in large and small UNIX installations. Its major components consists of SLM, a log monitoring and filter daemon process which can monitor multiple logfiles simultaneously, and SSM, a system/process monitoring utility that monitors general system health, process status, disk usage, and others.

BRINK is a CGI perl script which allows users to change their passwords via a web page. Current development has shifted to a modularized Perl socket daemon/client. There is a remote possibility that this program could allow users to do bad things to the system it is running on. If you run BRINK on a secure http daemon, it is much more secure than if you run it on an unencrypted http daemon.

PerfGraph is a software package that continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, measures the performance of your Unix systems. The data is stored in a database; the gathered data can be displayed graphically by just pointing your favorite web browser to the web-server connected to the database. The PerfGraph Server needs a run-time environment consisting of Perl, Postgres and Apache.

The Server Check script checks your server configuration including file paths, location of your server mail program and which Perl modules are installed.
