- -This is a list of tiny utilities whose functionality is not provided by -busybox. If you have additional suggestions, please send an e-mail to our -dev mailing list. - -

FeatureUtilities
SSHDropbear has both an ssh server and an ssh client that together come in around 100k. It has no external -dependencies (I.E. it does not depend on OpenSSL, using a built-in copy of -LibTomCrypt instead). It's actively maintained, with a quiet but responsive -mailing list.
SMTPssmtp is an extremely simple Mail Transfer Agent.
ntpntpclient is a -tiny ntp client. BusyBox has rdate to set the date from a remote server, but -if you want a daemon to repeatedly adjust the clock over time, try that.
- -

In a gui environment, you'll probably want a web browser. -Konqueror Embedded requires QT -(or QT Embedded), but not KDE. The Dillo -requires GTK+, but not Gnome. Or you can try the graphical -version of links.

SCRIPTING LANGUAGES

Although busybox has built-in support for shell scripts, plenty of other -small scripting languages are available on the net. A few examples:

languagedescription
microperl A small standalone perl interpreter that can be built from the perl source -s via "make -f Makefile.micro". If you really feel the need for perl on an embe -dded system, this is where to start. -
LuaIf you just want a small embedded scripting language to write new -code in, this Brazilian import is lightweight, fairly popular, and has -a complete book about it online.
rcThe PLAN9 shell. Not compatible with conventional bourne shell syntax, -but fairly lightweight and small.
forthA well known language for fast and small programs, decades old but still -in use for everything from OpenBIOS to computer controlled engine timing.
- -

For more information, you probably want to look at -buildroot and -TinyGentoo, which -build and use tiny utilities for all sorts of things.
