There is already an hwclock command, and you can easily generate passwords using the existing pwgen command, or just "echo 'password' | md5sum". Is there a point to these 'tools', other than to generate traffic to your blog? And why didn't you put these on your OTHER post about your 'tools'???

v-pwgen has a different interface than pwgen.

...and again, as with your package manager, WHY is this an issue, and why should anyone use it, when there are already existing tools (including built-in Linux utilities), that are easy to use??
Again, it seems like you only want to drive traffic to your blog. |

@veerain: in the future, posts such as this should be submitted to the Linux - News forum where they will be reviewed and then possibly approved. While we always welcome new open source software, the Linux - Software forum is a technical one and if we allowed release announcements it could easily get overrun.
