** Introduction
Swiss-Army-Knife is a collection of useful
tools that you can do quickly.
This is now in Hackage and the AUR. So in theory,
it can run "anywhere", though I have not had the time to test this,
so I am open to comments and pull requests. In particular, it is
gauranteed to run on Arch, and I do have some support for other
distros, and that will grow. But I have not had the time to fully
test other distros.
So some knives will run "anywhere", but some that call out to
the system for system-specific information may have issues.
As I find out about them, I will fix them as quickly as I can.
** Documentation
These are the current "knives" implemented. More to come. Open
to suggestions.
+ Note that you no longer have to prepend "sudo" to do system-level
operations.
*** sak --help
Will list all the current commands.
*** sak extip
Will tell you what your external IP is for your connection,
either in IPv4 or IPv6 Useful if you use a VPN
*** sak kernel
Will tell you the version of the installed kernel as well
as the running version. Support is in for Arch, Debian, and
RedHat, but only Arch has been tested.
*** sak sleep
Will put your system in standby mode.
*** sak zfscheck
If you use the zfs from archzfs, sometimes it
does not keep up with the latest kernel release.
Check to see the latest kernel zfs supports before
you do a system upgrade. Other distros will probably
not have the zfs sync issues that Arch does.
*** sak wg
If you use WireGuard for your VPN, manage it from
here. List your installed WireGuard options,
and swap among them. you can start, stop, and list your
WireGuard VPNs.
Now supports enabling and disabling of the underlying daemon.
*** sak nm
Manage NetworkManager
Now supports enabling and disabling of the underlying daemon.
*** sak sn
Manage systemd-networkd
Now supports enabling and disabling of the underlying daemon.
