Scripts
Over the years I’ve written several scripts for Linux and UNIX systems, in a variety of languages, to help with some very basic tasks. Feel free to use any of them (at your own risk).
| Gentoo Update | Shell script designed to automate the process of updating the software packages on a set of Gentoo computers |
| lnSponge | A TCL script designed to recursively scan a directory for new files. It creates symbolic links to new files in a designated directory and keeps a record of created links so they can be deleted and not regenerate on future runs. Its original intended use was to keep track of which video and media files I had already viewed. |
| oggfolder2mp3 | A Bash script to recursively convert a folder of ogg files into mp3s. |
| Ruby Email Script | This Ruby script will execute a given program and e-mail the standard output to a specified e-mail address. It can be used in conjunction with other scripts listed on this page for logging purposes. |
