Eschwartz, to be fair, they didn't sed pacman.conf themselves. They read pacman.conf line by line in a clumsy and pointless loop and sed''ed part of each line for no reason only to check whether it matched 'IgnorePkg' and then only to oddly and conditionally append a space then a value to a simple variable when an array would be much easier needing no conditional or spaces.
And this is you being "fair"...
Honest, yes, I will grant you that. But generally the phrase "to be fair" is used by people extending mercy, not additional objections.
If pacman-conf were not an option, that entire loop could just be:
IGNORE=$(sed -n 's/^IgnorePkg[^=]*=//p' /etc/pacman.conf) # or better as an array IGNORE=($(sed -n 's/^IgnorePkg[^=]*=//p' /etc/pacman.conf))
If it comes to that, matching on 'IgnorePkg222 = nope' and finding that the "nope" package should be ignored, is rather erroneous...
Don't match:
^IgnorePkg[^=]*=
Do match:
^IgnorePkg[[:space:]]*=

I've found this nice site that is missing an rss but gives you updates about new free games, so i wrote a little script that checks it and send me a notification when there is a new free game; didn't tested it deeply... yet!
It uses the handy "sendemail" tool from aur.

This one will set the same "custom" refresh and resolution for all of the connected monitors.
I use it as a convenient way to play games with lower refresh rates when my GPU can't handle more.
#!/bin/bash
if [ ! $# = 2 ] ; then
echo Example $(basename $0) 1280x1024 75
exit
fi
w=$(cut -d "x" -f 1 <<< "$1")
h=$(cut -d "x" -f 2 <<< "$1")
hz=$2
#Genera la modeline
GTF_OUT=$(gtf $w $h $hz|grep Modeline)
MODE_NAME=koko_"$w"x"$h"_"$hz"
TIMINGS=$(grep Modeline <<< $GTF_OUT |cut -d \" -f 3)
MODELINE="$MODE_NAME $TIMINGS"
#aggiungo al pool:
xrandr --newmode $MODELINE
#Aggiunge e setta il modo custom a tutti i monitor
MONITORS=$(xrandr|grep " conne"|cut -d " " -f 1|tr \\n " ")
for MONITOR in $MONITORS ; do
xrandr --addmode $MONITOR $MODE_NAME
xrandr --output $MONITOR --mode $MODE_NAME
done
echo "Press ENTER in 10 seconds to keep settings"
read -n 1 -t 10
if [ ! $? == 0 ]; then
#Cleanup:
for MONITOR in $MONITORS ; do
xrandr --output $MONITOR --preferred
xrandr --delmode $MONITOR $MODE_NAME
xrandr --rmmode $MODE_NAME
done

You seem to do a lot of munging of variables only to undo it later. For example, you have a subshell and pipeline to extract the width an height from $1, but then later you use "$w"x"$h" to put them back together. You only need the individual width and height values once, so just extract them there, and use shell builtins to do it, e.g.:
timings=$(gtf ${1%x*} ${1#*x} $2 | awk '/Modeline/ { print $3; }')
Also note, the use of awk instead of grep and cut.
I can't test it, but the following should do the same thing as your script:
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! $# = 2 ] ; then
echo Example $(basename $0) 1280x1024 75
exit
fi
modename="koko_$1_$2"
xrandr --newmode $modename "$(gtf ${1%x*} ${1#*x} $2 | awk '/Modeline/ { $1=""; $2=""; print; }')"
monitors=$(xrandr | awk '/ connected/ { print $1; }')
for monitor in $monitors; do
xrandr --addmode $monitor $modename
xrandr --output $monitor --mode $modename
done
read -p "Press ENTER in 10 seconds to keep settings" -n 1 -t 10 && exit
for monitor in $monitors; do
xrandr --output $monitor --preferred
xrandr --delmode $monitor $modename
done
xrandr --rmmode $modename
One thing that stands out is that almost all of the output of gtf is completely ignored - only the timing value is extracted and passed to xrandr's --newmode. Is this really how that should work? (edit: ah, I misunerstood your cut pipeline, I've modified my version to get the equivalent output from gtf.)

D'oh, you're right ^_^

Unfortunately i'm not really familiar with it; i've to sort it out.
...apart from that, i prefer to use more and descriptive variables so that i'll not spend too much time next time to understand what i wrote.

You can still name variables and be more verbose than my examples without needing to use subshells with long pipelines:
...
width=${1%x*}
height=${1#*x}
timings=$(gtf $width $height ...)
My personal style is to never create a variable for something that will only be used once, unless the calculation of the value is pretty complex so that splitting off the calculation (and assignment) to a new line makes it easier to read. In this case "${1%x*}" is quite short, and never reused, so I'd personally not use a variable for it - but that's a stylistic choice.

Man I just love writing little programs. Here's a few that may be useful:
Converts JSON to YAML for easy reading (or further processing):
$ curl -s http://api.icndb.com/jokes/random | ./json-yaml
type: success
value:
id: 415
joke: When Chuck Norris wants an egg, he cracks open a chicken.
categories: []
A command line NOS Teletekst reader (a Dutch teletext system, like BBC's Ceefax).
My favourite one. Run a command in other directories:
$ within code/* - git status
code/json-yaml: nothing to commit, working tree clean
code/nostt: nothing to commit, working tree clean
code/within: nothing to commit, working tree clean
code/dated: nothing to commit, working tree clean
Adds a timestamp to every line:
$ tail -f test.txt | dated
11/07/18 21:28:31 Hello
11/07/18 21:28:40 World!
$ tail -f test.txt | dated -f "[%H:%M] "
[21:32] Hello
[21:33] World!

I like to have these functions loaded at login (i have them in my .aliases file) to have them at the ready:
This one helps me quickly fire up a new database to quickly start a new project
function mkdb() {
echo
if [ 2 -gt $# ] ;then
echo "mkdb - invalid parameters"
echo "** usage: mkdb database_name [user_name] password"
echo "** if user_name is not specified database_name will be used also for user_name"
else
db_name=$1
if [ $# -gt 2 ]
then
user_name=$2
pass=$3
else
user_name=$1
pass=$2
fi
echo
echo "Creating database '$db_name' and user '$user_name' and granting access to database to the new user."
mysql -u root --execute="CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS '$user_name'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$pass';GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO '$user_name'@'localhost' REQUIRE NONE WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0;CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS $db_name;GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON $db_name.* TO '$user_name'@'localhost';"
fi
echo
}
This one I use to swap hosts lists based on my needs: when developing I like to have all my project domains pointing to 127.0.0.1, and when I deploy i like to see them live. This makes the deploy easier, no need to search and replace for 'localhost' in the project files (or db dump).

You could just set pass to the last argument, user to the first argument, then really simplify that conditional to a single line:
[ $# -gt 2 ] && user_name=$2
If you are using BASH getting the last argument is just array manipulation, but from the single [ I'd gather you may not be using (exclusively) BASH, so you can use a for loop:
db_name= $1
user_name=$1
[ $# -gt 2 ] && user_name=$2
for arg; do :; done
pass=$arg

great tips, thanks

I use emacs with transparency enabled and this script helps me follow tutorials / documentation more easily.
Seems a little esoteric, but it's really nice being able to switch focus to your webbrowser without losing site of your text editor and switch tabs, play/pause a video, go to a url, etc...
I have it bound to Hyper-w, pressing it once will switch focus to firefox, pressing it consecutively is the same as alt-tab selecting firefox.
#!/bin/bash
focus="$(xdotool getwindowfocus)"
# if firefox exists in the current desktop
firefox="$(xdotool search --desktop "$(xdotool get_desktop)" --name "Firefox")"
# if firefox is running
firefoxExists="$(wmctrl -l | grep Firefox)"
if [[ -z $firefoxExists ]];then
# firefox isn't running, launch it
firefox &
wmctrl -a "Firefox"
wmctrl -r "Firefox" -N "$BROWSER"
# delay to account for button debounce
sleep .5
elif [[ $firefox ]];then
# firefox is running and exists in the current desktop
visible="$(xdotool search --desktop "$(xdotool get_desktop)" --onlyvisible --name "Firefox")"
exists="$(xdotool search --desktop "$(xdotool get_desktop)" --name "Firefox")"
if (($firefox != $focus)); then
# firefox isn't focused (or it could be minimized), raise it without
# bringing it to the front of the window stack
wmctrl -r "Firefox" -b add,below
elif (($firefox == $focus)); then
# firefox is focused, make it the top most window
wmctrl -r "Firefox" -b remove,below
xdotool search --desktop "$(xdotool get_desktop)" --name "Firefox" windowraise

the defaults for all text editors are bad, i use my own superior version of emacs, which is more of a work of art (as intended) than it is some finely tuned work tool with the specifications of its original maker
all in all my script could use a little work now that i'm looking closely at it... hrmmmm..... also using terminal text editors feels so clunky after i've experienced the full power of the gui!

In compiz, you can use the "Place" and "Window Rules" plugins to mandate certain programs to open on specific viewports and always be fullscreen. It also has a handy drop-zone tiling plugin, and you can see through windows using the "Opacity, Brightness, and Saturation" plugin. In addition, all desktop and window management can be mouse-operated *never used emacs in my life*

For the artist who makes or modifies his own tools, is there a difference?

Note that there is no need for those semicolons. Nor is there a need for an exit command at the end of a script. And with those two points there becomes no need for the script. Just bind the command you want:

Hello Archers, it's been a while.
This is for using TCPLAY with multiple containers & paths, 1 or no key(mixed) and can (un)mount multiple containers, one by one!
There exist quite a few scripts for TCPLAY but far as I can tell, none of them handle key/key-less & multiple volumes in one go.
I use this for my NAS, which hasn't seen an update in almost 4 years:(.
It's also usable for local containers.
Edit this variable values:
cryptpath: where the encrypted containers are stored, do not remove parentheses.
mountp: where the container will be mounted to, default is /mnt
keypath: where your keys are stored, leaf empty for no keys
if you provide a keypath, you can still use key-less containers.
delay: if your containers are on a NAS, the disks may enter 'sleep-state'
example: mine needs less the 3 seconds to wake I set 'delay=3'
Alien files in the same directory with your containers will clutter the mount output(select)!
Containers with the same name in different directories are left out of 'mount' results until unmount.
For mount or unmount I show the encrypted containers name + path & f.i. not the mount point!
Have fun;) mark

In the US, AT&T widely uses an Arris BGW210-700 Broadband

If you want a continuous log for the BGW210 then look at
pacman -Si syslog-ng
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Syslog-ng
A most basic config that I've tested/works for it at time
of writing.
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
@version: 3.18
@include "scl.conf"
options {time-reap(30); mark-freq(10); keep-hostname(yes); };
source s_network { syslog(ip(0.0.0.0) transport(udp) port(514)); };
destination d_logs { file("/var/log/BGW210.log" owner("root") group("root") perm(0777)); };
log { source(s_network); destination(d_logs); };
You will of course have to enable syslog on port 514 on the BGW210.
