| 4 | <h3>External Tiny Utilities</h3> | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | This is a list of tiny utilities whose functionality is not provided by | ||
| 7 | busybox. If you have additional suggestions, please send an e-mail to our | ||
| 8 | dev mailing list. | ||

| 12 | <table> | ||
| 13 | <tr> | ||
| 14 | <th>Feature</th> | ||
| 15 | <th>Utilities</th> | ||
| 16 | </tr> | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | <tr> | ||
| 19 | <td>SSH</td> | ||
| 20 | <td><a href="http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/">Dropbear</a> has both an ssh server and an ssh client that together come in around 100k. It has no external | ||
| 21 | dependencies (I.E. it does not depend on OpenSSL, using a built-in copy of | ||
| 22 | LibTomCrypt instead). It's actively maintained, with a quiet but responsive | ||
| 23 | mailing list.</td> | ||
| 24 | </tr> | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | <tr> | ||
| 27 | <td>SMTP</td> | ||
| 28 | <td><a href="ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/ssmtp/">ssmtp</a> is an extremely simple Mail Transfer Agent.</td> | ||
| 29 | </tr> | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | <tr> | ||
| 32 | <td>ntp</td> | ||
| 33 | <td><a href="http://doolittle.icarus.com/ntpclient/">ntpclient</a> is a | ||
| 34 | tiny ntp client. BusyBox has rdate to set the date from a remote server, but | ||
| 35 | if you want a daemon to repeatedly adjust the clock over time, try that.</td> | ||
| 36 | </table> | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | <p>In a gui environment, you'll probably want a web browser. | ||
| 39 | <a href="http://www.konqueror.org/embedded/">Konqueror Embedded</a> requires QT | ||
| 40 | (or QT Embedded), but not KDE. The <a href="http://www.dillo.org/">Dillo</a> | ||
| 41 | requires GTK+, but not Gnome. Or you can try the <a href="http://links.twibright.com/">graphical | ||
| 42 | version of links</a>.</p> | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | <h3>SCRIPTING LANGUAGES</h3> | ||
| 45 | <p>Although busybox has built-in support for shell scripts, plenty of other | ||
| 46 | small scripting languages are available on the net. A few examples:</p> | ||
| 47 | <table> | ||
| 48 | <tr> | ||
| 49 | <th>language</th> | ||
| 50 | <th>description</th> | ||
| 51 | </tr> | ||
| 52 | <tr> | ||
| 53 | <td> <a href="http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol5_3/tpj0503-0003.html">microperl</a> </td> | ||
| 54 | <td> A small standalone perl interpreter that can be built from the perl source | ||
| 55 | s via "make -f Makefile.micro". If you really feel the need for perl on an embe | ||
| 56 | dded system, this is where to start. | ||
| 57 | </tr> | ||
| 58 | <tr> | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | <td><a href="http://www.lua.org/pil/">Lua</a></td> | ||
| 61 | <td>If you just want a small embedded scripting language to write <em>new</em> | ||
| 62 | code in, this Brazilian import is lightweight, fairly popular, and has | ||
| 63 | a complete book about it online.</td> | ||
| 64 | </tr> | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | <tr> | ||
| 67 | <td><a href="http://www.star.le.ac.uk/%7Etjg/rc/">rc</a></td> | ||
| 68 | <td>The PLAN9 shell. Not compatible with conventional bourne shell syntax, | ||
| 69 | but fairly lightweight and small.</td> | ||
| 70 | </tr> | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | </tr> | ||
| 73 | <tr> | ||
| 74 | <td><a href="http://www.forth.org/">forth</a></td> | ||
| 75 | <td>A well known language for fast and small programs, decades old but still | ||
| 76 | in use for everything from OpenBIOS to computer controlled engine timing.</td> | ||
| 77 | </tr> | ||
| 78 | </table> | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | <p>For more information, you probably want to look at | ||
| 81 | <a href="http://buildroot.uclibc.org/">buildroot</a> and | ||
| 82 | <a href="http://gentoo-wiki.com/TinyGentoo">TinyGentoo</a>, which | ||
| 83 | build and use tiny utilities for all sorts of things.</p> | ||
