sysadmin-util is a compact collection of small, practical command-line utilities gathered for everyday system administration tasks. The repository contains a variety of single-purpose scripts that solve common problems such as determining file ages, testing SSH connectivity, checking MySQL slave status, expanding IPv6 addresses, sending metrics to Graphite, and working with IP ranges. The project intentionally keeps the set small and focused, emphasising quality and personal usefulness over trying to be a large toolbox everyone adopts unchanged. Each tool is simple to inspect, easy to install, and written to be useful in scripting and cron workflows, with many commands designed to behave well in automation and monitoring contexts. The maintainer notes that personal toolkit preferences vary, encourages users to assemble their own curated collections, and points to a replacement repo for a more permissive contribution flow.
