S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring Tools

smartmontools contains utilities that control and monitor storage devices using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) system built into ATA and SCSI hard drives. This is used to check the reliability of the hard drive and to predict drive failures. It is meant to be an ... [More] up-to-date replacement for the ucsc-smartsuite and smartsuite packages, and is derived from that code. [Less]

Taskwarrior

Task is a command-line to do list manager. It has support for GTD functionality and includes the following features: tags, colorful tabular output, reports and graphs, lots of manipulation commands, low-level API, abbreviations for all commands and options, multiuser file locking, recurring tasks.

mintty

Mintty is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user interface and minimalist design. It is based on parts of PuTTY by Simon Tatham and provides xterm-compatible terminal emulation. Its features include a simple options dialog, Unicode support, drag and drop of files and folders, and window transparency.

RealTimeBattle

RealTimeBattle is a programming game, in which robots controlled by programs are fighting each other. The goal is to destroy the enemies, using the radar to examine the environment and the cannon to shoot. The Game progresses in real time, with the robot programs running as child processes to ... [More] RealTimeBattle. The robots communicate with the main program using the standard input and output. Robots can be constructed in almost any programming language. Any number of robots can compete simultaneously if allowed by your operating system. A simple messaging language is used for communication, which makes it easy to start constructing robots. Robots behave like real physical object. You can create your own arenas and the simulation engine is highly configurable. [Less]

TestDisk

TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery program! It was primarily designed to recover lost partitions, repair FAT/NTFS boot sector, NTFS MFT and Ext2/Ext3 superblock and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human ... [More] error (such as accidentally deleting your Partition Table). PhotoRec is a File Recovery program designed to recover lost files; including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks, CDRom and lost pictures from digital camera memory (thus, its Photo Recovery name). PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it can still find files even if your media's filesystem has been severely damaged or re-formatted (overwritten data, of course, can not be recovered).

Cygwin Ports

This project provides Cygwin binary and source packages for a large variety of programs and libraries, including the GNOME and KDE desktop environments.

GNU ddrescue

GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors. The basic operation of ddrescue is fully automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program, read ... [More] the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature of ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume it later at the same point. [Less]

ClamAV/SOSDG For Windows

ClamAV/SOSDG is a port of the popular UNIX/Linux anti-virus software to Windows using Cygwin. It features free updates and an ever evolving detection engine.

xmds

XMDS is a code generator that integrates equations. You write them down in human readable form in a XML file, and it goes away and writes and compiles a C++ program that integrates those equations as fast as it can possibly be done in your architecture.

Jupp’s Own Editor

Jupp is a fork of JOE’s Own Editor, providing a lot of bug fixes as well as a new resource file implementing an editing mode optimal for programmers.
