Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

Total, blank, non-blank:

wc -l < $filename
grep -c '^$' $filename
grep -cv '^$' $filename

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

You should probably check out `wc`, specifically `wc -l` to get the total lines, and

grep -v "^ *$" filename | wc -l

to get a nonblank line count.

Edit: too slow ... but I just learned about grep's -c option. Cool.

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

Damn, @karol is right

The fact is that i wanted the script to detect CRLF also, but then I discovered dos2unix....and then it seems I forgot about wc... : (

Anyway, it was good for my bash learning : P

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

This is a beautiful way I run Radio Paradise. Though, most other internet radio stations would work with a simple URL switch.

#!/bin/zsh

kill -9 `ps x | grep "mplayer -msglevel all=-1 -noconsolecontrols -nojoystick -nolirc -nomouseinput http://stream-sd.radioparadise.com:9000/rp_32.ogg" | grep -v "grep" | cut -f 2 -d\ ` 2>/dev/null
if [ $? = 1 ]; then
    mplayer -msglevel all=-1 -noconsolecontrols -nojoystick -nolirc -nomouseinput http://stream-sd.radioparadise.com:9000/rp_32.ogg &
fi

Why not use  'pkill mplayer' to kill it?

Not sure if I get what you mean, but would

kill -9 $(pgrep -fo radioparadise)

be better?

Because I often watch lectures and then pause them as my mind hits the wall. This would kill them.

karol wrote:

Problem is that mplayer threads into two for web streams so the script would run twice before it worked as intended.

steve___ wrote:

And this is why I wrote the script. The content is a stream, so it never exits. lol

MISTAKE: cut -f 2 should be cut -f 1 -- This came from starting with ps aux but changed it to limit entries.

Seems to work for me - I just need to run it once and 'kill' works w/o the '-9' flag too:

kill $(pgrep -fo radioparadise)

Lions, and Tigers, and Shell, OH MY!

When you send SIGTERM vs SIGKILL it stops both! yikes

#!/bin/zsh

kill $(pgrep -fo radioparadise) 2>/dev/null
if [ $? = 1 ]; then
    mplayer -msglevel all=-1 -noconsolecontrols -nojoystick -nolirc -nomouseinput http://stream-sd.radioparadise.com:9000/rp_32.ogg &

@Karol: The problem is any 'radioparadise' will match.  Eg:

$ pgrep -fo radioparadise

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

If there is that much worry just use

#!/bin/zsh

stream_url="http://stream-sd.radioparadise.com:9000/rp_32.ogg"

kill $(pgrep -fo $stream_url) 2>/dev/null
if [ $? = 1 ]; then
    mplayer -msglevel all=-1 -noconsolecontrols -nojoystick -nolirc -nomouseinput $stream_url &
fi

Sure, but e.g.

kill $(pgrep -fo stream-sd.radioparadise)

is less likely to cause problems.

Edit: Too late ;P

The '-o' flag of pgrep acts against the oldest process, otherwise you get an error about the other (newer) process being already gone:

$ pgrep -f stream-sd.radioparadise
1946
1947
$ kill $(pgrep -f stream-sd.radioparadise)
bash: kill: (1947) - No such process

No no. When you run plain kill it sends a SIGTERM. The -9 makes it a SIGKILL. Although a SIGTERM is always prefered, many programs don't handle SIGTERMs so SIGKILL is what gets used by habbit. lol

Edit: Probably my bad for the :O. The icon makes it more paniced then shocked. lol

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

Here is a basic script I wrote in just a few minutes to take a xresources colorscheme and print out a reg file to import in windows for use with putty/kitty. By default, it sets the registry path for use with Kitty, but I put another line in there that can be un-commented to use with putty. Could be improved, but I thought I'd share so others can make it better!

Usage: Pass a .Xdefaults file or file containing colors
Example:

> xcolorstoreg.sh .Xdefaults
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\9bis.com\KiTTY\Sessions\Default%20Settings]

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

I use dropbox for storing some backups. This is a script i have made to fully automate it. I use gpg encryption of tar file too when uploading to dropbox.

#!/bin/bash                                                                                     
                                                                                                
echo "Compressing folders..."

Thanks. I made it out of realy banal reason. I use KDE and before KDE i used deja dup in XFCE. I like to have as little as possible gtk applications (nothing against them) in my system (yeah, i know. Totally stupid smile and that was the motive behind the script. I know there is qt based back-up applications out there but i just don't like them. I could use only duplicity but back then it was just to complicated for me smile

So, laziness and some weird GTK contamination fear can produce new knowledge and creativity smile

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

I use a free dropbox account to store all my dot-configs, /etc-configs and other backups, but I don't want to use the dropbox daemon or have any folders synched, and instead prefer to do it manually with two shell functions and the dropbox_uploader.sh script in my '~/.bin' dir:

drop() {
	dropbox_uploader.sh -u <username> -p <password> -f $1 -d /Public -v
}

dget() {
	curl -sO <url_to_dropbox_public_folder>/$1
}

Then when i've e.g. has made some changes to .vimrc, i run

drop .vimrc

and to get a new .vimrc(or overwrite the old):

dget .vimrc

Edit: Ohh, I see there's a syntax change in newer versions, as I haden't updated in a while...

You've actually inspired me to try this out for my own,
I always been bad at keeping backups of Configs I always mess around with. But now I can do it at a single command.

Preview the script

Steps:
Creates Folder and subFolders
Copies desired files and folders to the "Backup" dir
Creates Package and deletes "Backup" dir
Moves to Dropbox folder. smile

Keep in mind:
The Packages have the month and year on them. So if you update them within that same month the previous Package will be overwritten. I did this because I don't want too many back up folders.
