+=======================
+Tooling box ``utils/*``
+=======================
+
+In the folder :origin:`utils/` we maintain some tools useful for admins and
+developers.

+
+Common commands & environment
+=============================
+
+Scripts to maintain services often dispose of common commands and environments.
+
+``shell`` : command
+  Opens a shell from the service user ``${SERVICE_USSR}``, very helpful for
+  troubleshooting.
+
+``inspect service`` : command
+  Shows status and log of the service, most often you have a option to enable
+  more verbose debug logs.  Very helpful for debugging, but be careful not to
+  enable debugging in a production environment!
+
+``FORCE_TIMEOUT`` : environment
+  Sets timeout for interactive prompts. If you want to run a script in batch
+  job, with defaults choices, set ``FORCE_TIMEOUT=0``.  By example; to install a
+  reverse proxy for filtron on all containers of the :ref:`searx suite
+  <lxc-searx.env>` use ::
+
+    sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- FORCE_TIMEOUT=0 ./utils/filtron.sh apache install

+Tooling box setup
+=================
+
+The main setup is done in the :origin:`.config.sh` (read also :ref:`makefile
+setup`).
