Contributed Programs

As a BeckWeb client, you have access to a large array of programs that can really enhance the functionality of your Virtual Server. These programs are all located in the "contributed" area, or /usr/local/contrib.

The programs and utilities that are located in the /usr/local/contrib are not directly supported by Beck Web technical support since they were largely developed by third parties. Many of the contributed programs come with a large amount of documentation that should be reviewed and understood. Furthermore, many of the programs have license agreements that you should make yourself familiar with and agree to.
