pLsearch was written to assist SysAdmin's in grep'ing logs and other files for specific content, and then spitting it out in a pretty format which is generally easy on the eyes.
pLsearch uses the (s)locate database to search for specific files that the administrator wants to work with. It then accepts a query, and/or subquery, and/or inverted query which will then be used to grep through the located files for content. It is therefore a two way search. This is meant to be extremely useful for System Administration tasks such as attempting to track down exploitable FormMail applications that were being used to Send Spam as an open relay, or possibly used to search common files for a known exploits (such as "urldecode" in all files named "viewtopic.php" which is a well known phpBB exploit signature), etc.

rb-parseconfig is a Ruby class written to parse simple configuration files in the format of "param = value". This class was written to be a simple, easy to use Ruby configuration file parser without any frills and you know... the typical "knock your socks off" Ruby code. Send any comments and suggestions to beef it up if you like.

Amavisd-new Quarantine Reminder. The 'quarReminder.php' script was written to assist system administrators with reminding their email users that they have messages in their Spam/Virus Quarantine. It was written mainly for usage with Amavisd-new, however a simple modification of the SQL query may allow it to work with other systems.

This is a simple PERL script used to quickly install Rules Du Jour on a system. As you probably are fully aware, the Rules Du Jour installation is not difficult, however when you are performing installations on a daily basis, it is much nicer to do it in two redundant and memorizable steps (Note the --plesk flag if it is a Plesk box):
Usage:
wget http://devel.5dollarwhitebox.org/installRDJ/installRDJ perl ./installRDJ.pl --install

- Latest Release: installRDJ-1.2.0
ccdInstaller
This is a simple PERL script to automate the task of installing the Solaris Companion CD (for Solaris 8/9). It was originally part of a project I was working on to build a Linux based Solaris Jumpstart Installer.
This project was quite a while ago, and I haven't touched the ccdInstaller script in a while either, so feel free to flame me if/when it doesn't work.
