Description:
 This is a growing collection of the unix tools that nobody thought
 to write thirty years ago.

 So far, it includes the following utilities:
  - isutf8: check if a file or standard input is utf-8
  - sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file
  - ts: timestamp standard input
  - vidir: edit a directory in your text editor
  - vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe
  - combine: combine the lines in two files using boolean operations
  - ifdata: get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output
  - pee: tee standard input to pipes
  - zrun: automatically uncompress arguments to command
  - mispipe: pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
  - lckdo: execute a program with a lock held
  - ifne: run a program if the standard input is not empty
  - parallel: run multiple jobs at once

Packages

moreutils-0.40-1.el4.i386 [60 KiB] Changelog by Marc Bradshaw (2010-07-14):
- new upstream version moreutils 0.40 released with these changes
- * lckdo: Now deprecated, since util-linux's flock(1) can do the same thing.

- new upstream version moreutils 0.39 released with these changes
- * parallel: Fix exit code handling when commands are specified after --
- * parallel: Make -j 0 do something reasonable (start all jobs at once).
- * parallel: Fix to really avoid running new jobs when load is too high.
- * parallel: Fix logic error in code handling -l that could make parallel return a bogus 255 exit code when all jobs succeeded.
- * parallel: Allow a decimal load value to be specified with -l
- * Caps sillyness.
- * zrun: Add support for .xz files.
