Heh, I just wanted to make a simple script that gives as much information about the running system as possible. Too bad I can't figure out any more non-system specific commands for even more info.

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

I cleaned your script for you.

#!/bin/bash
IFACE=eth0

OS=$(uname -sr)
ARCH=$(uname -m)
CURTIME=$(date +'%H:%M:%S (%d/%m/%Y)')
UPTIME=$(uptime | awk '{print $3,$4,$5}')
LOCALIP=$(ifconfig $IFACE | awk '/inet addr:/ {print $2}')
HOSTNAME=$(uname -n)
LOAD=$(uptime | awk '{print $10,$11,$12}')
MEM=$(free -m | awk '/cache:/ {print $s,"mb used,",$4,"mb free"}')
PROCS=$(ps -A | wc -l)
CPUMODEL=$(grep -m1 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo)
CPUS=$(grep -c processor: /proc/cpuinfo)
TOTALRAM=$(free -m | awk '/Mem:/ {print $2,"mb"}')

yikes thanks, I wasn't trying to do anything fancy and I was mainly practicising with awk and whatnot..

I wonder if there would be decent commands to find out everything about the hardware, but I figured that there isn't any command that has portable output...

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

Check a website every 5 minutes and warn if something changed.
Waiting for exam results is so much fun with this script smile
Depends on figlet and cowsay!

#!/bin/bash

URL='http://someurlcomes.here'
MSG='Moooo'

wget $URL -O /tmp/original

while true;do
    wget $URL -O /tmp/new
    diff -i -b -B -q /tmp/original /tmp/new
    if [ ! $? -eq 0 ]; then
        figlet $MSG|cowsay -n|xmessage -file - -center
        exit

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

Openbox pipe menu, mplayer radio and the monkey...

I am using mplayer to listen to the radio stations, don't want anything heavy and no visible player (well except one optional conky line).

radiomeny.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os, sys, fnmatch, fileinput, re

class radiolist:

    def get_list(self):
        radio_list=[]
        filepath=os.path.split( os.path.realpath( sys.argv[0] ) )[0] + "/playlist.txt"
        for line in fileinput.input(filepath):
            patt = re.compile(r'(.+)\|')
            radio = patt.search(line).group(1)
            patt = re.compile(r'\|(.+)')
            url = patt.search(line).group(1)
            radio_list.append([radio,url])
           
        return radio_list

    def __init__(self):
        radiolist = self.get_list()
        print "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
        print "<openbox_pipe_menu>"
        for name,url in radiolist:
            print " <item label=\"%s\">" % name
            print "  <action name=\"Execute\"><execute>%s</execute></action>" % ("~/.scripts/radio/radioexec.sh " + name + " " + url)
            print " </item>"

        print " <separator />"
        print " <item label=\"%s\">" % "Stop radio"
        print "  <action name=\"Execute\"><execute>%s</execute></action>" % ("~/.scripts/radio/radioexec.sh " + "---")
        print " </item>"
        print "</openbox_pipe_menu>"

if __name__=="__main__":
    app = radiolist()

radioexec.sh:

# /bin/bash

pkill mplayer
echo "$1" > ~/.scripts/radio/radiolog.txt
if [ -n "$2" ]; then
    mplayer "$2"
fi

playlist.txt:

Absolute|http://network.absoluteradio.co.uk/core/audio/mp3/live.pls?service=vrbb
Magic|http://earth.radica.com/magic1054-70
Kerrang|http://earth.radica.com/kerrang-70

All three files are in my ~/.scripts/radio dir.

Add pipe menu somewhere in openbox menu.xml:

<menu execute="~/.scripts/radio/radiomenu.py" id="ID" label="Radio"/>

Add optional conky info line to see what are you playing and current volume:

Radio: ${alignr}${execi 1 cat ~/.scripts/radio/radiolog.txt} ${execi 5 amixer sget PCM,0 |grep "Front Left:"|cut -d "[" -f2|cut -d "%" -f1}%

...and the monkey?

There is no monkey, I just enjoy Lucas Arts Monkey Island adventures smile
Can you imagine that one month ago I was using Ubuntu and did no scripting at all???


Gnome -> Openbox -> Awesome -> XMonad -> dwm .

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

Here's a two for one. First this is a simple update script I made for Arch.

#!/bin/bash
# Arch Update

# Colors
blue="\033[1;34m"
green="\033[1;32m"
red="\033[1;31m"
bold="\033[1;37m"
reset="\033[0m"

# Check for root
if [ $(whoami) != "root" ]; then
    echo -e $red"error:$reset you cannot perform this operation unless you are root."
    exit 1
fi

# Update
echo -e "$blue::$bold Syncing ABS...$reset"
abs > /dev/null
pacman-color -Syy
pacman-color -Su
echo -e "$blue::$bold Updating mlocate database...$reset"
updatedb
echo -e "$green::$bold System update complete.$reset"
exit 0

Looks like this:

Now, this is something I actually put time into. It uses EncFS to mount an encrypted volume in a temporary manner. It will prompt for a password and then open the destination folder with nautilus. However, when you close the browser window it automatically unmounts. Since I don't ever logoff my desktop this is a better method of accessing an encrypted drive/folder...for me at least.

Main script "encmnt":

#!/usr/bin/python
# EncMnt v1.0 (EncFS Mounting System)
# GraveyardPC - 2008

# Usage:
# ./encmnt <root_dir> <mount_dir>
#
# Note:
# All directory paths must be absolute.

# Required:
# "wmctrl," "xwininfo," "encfs" and "fusermount"

    return wlist

if len(sys.argv) == 3:
    root    = str(sys.argv[1])
    mount    = str(sys.argv[2])

    # Unmount any existing volume at the same location:
    Popen(["fusermount", "-uz", mount])

    # Mount new archive using password prompt (exit on failure):
    ret = Popen(["encfs", "--extpass=" + app, root, mount], stdout=PIPE).stdout

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

Why does your update script do a -Syy instead of just -Sy?

Using the double "y" forces a refresh of the package list instead of just checking if it's up-to-date. I use that because I discovered that sometimes with certain repositories the list registers as up-to-date when it really isn't. And since that caused problems for me, I just force it as a safety precaution.

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

I'd use another mirror then, and report a bug for that one. It shouldn't happen often enough to make you use that each time.

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

I did recently switch mirrors because I was getting issues using "mirror.neotuli.net." But I rather leave the script alone just in case it happens again randomly, and it's not like it adds that much of delay anyway. Besides, I only use the command about once daily. And as far as reporting it as a bug, it seems to be an issue originating at various repositories, not pacman itself. So I don't see the point in reporting every incident.

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

I used to be a big time conky-monitor junkie.  Monitors were nice, because I could tell when something was going wrong.  Now they are just distracting during normal operation.  I'll also use the command line more, and I needed a cross CLI/X11 monitor system that would only bother me if something was really wrong.

Throw this into a 5 minute cron job and never worry about OOM, OOHD, dead battery or thermal meltdown.

#! /bin/bash

# System monitor and alert thing.
# Run in a cron job.

# Checks the following:
#     is battery about to die?
#     is ram almost gone?
#     is hd almost gone?
#     is cpu going to melt?

# Makes several alerts:
#     make a noise
#     wall
#     popup
#     wm integration (awesome wm needs a textbox called tb_status)

# configure these globals for trip points
Mem_Lim=95  # percent used
Bat_Lim=15  # minutes remaining 
Drv_Lim=95  # percent used
Tmp_Lim=65  # degrees C

# globals for error logging
Mem_Err=0
Bat_Err=0
Drv_Err=0
Tmp_Err=0

Copies the currently playing song in MPD to the specified location (my mounted mp3-player).

mvmpd

TARGET=/mnt/mp3/MUSIC
MUSIC_DIR=/mnt/Music
MPD_PATH=$(mpc --format '[[%file%]]'|head -1)

cp $MUSIC_DIR/$MPD_PATH $TARGET
echo '.: '$MUSIC_DIR/$MPD_PATH '-->' $TARGET

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $# != 3 ]]; then

    exit 1

            )
        echo "$numOfMatches occurences."
        ((pageNum++))
    done

This was mainly just a test of my general Bash abilities, as I tend to remember things better through doing, not reading.  If I actually put much thought into it, it wouldn't need the number of pages.

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

The following script isn't made by me, but i want to promote it. If you download series from eztv.it . There is a handy python script pytvshows in AUR. That downloads new *.torrent files of new episodes of your favoriete series. Let your torrent client watch that directory and add a cron job and you are done smile .  I love scripts! Yesterday i found this nice bash backup script on this forum witch i customized to my own setup (original form rine)

I added one rule for this script, so that it first checks if my pc can connect to my NAS. This is great for my laptop wich isn't always at my home:P

if ping -c 1 -w 10.0.0.102 > /dev/null ; then
   echo "could not connect to server"
   exit 1

@arm-the-homeless
I get this error when running your script:

[jelle@p6 test]$ python test.py
  File "test.py", line 94
    print jpg.group(1)
    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent

You probably also have to remove the unexpected indent.:P There's one on the next line, too.

lamerip
This is a script to rip a CD to WAV, then convert to MP3. I'm pretty sure I wrote this one myself, but it was a couple months ago, so I'm not entirely sure I didn't steal it from somewhere. <_<

#!/bin/bash

# Bitrate, in kbps
br=320

# Rip from CD to *.wav format
cdparanoia -B

# Convert to *.mp3 format
for fname in $(ls *.cdda.wav)
do
    lame -b $br $fname ${fname}.mp3
done

# Clean up *.wav's
rm *.cdda.wav

Afterwards I use easytag to fill the ID3 tags and rename the files. I've yet to find a really decent way to do it.

mpdstream
Sets up mpd to stream to my PSP. Bash gives me a terrible headache sometimes, so I did it in Python, even though it seems silly. The file "mpdstream.diff" is the diff between my config file with icecast enabled and disabled. The PHP interface is pretty sweet, too, but a lot of its code is borrowed from someone else.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import os

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    if sys.argv[1] == "on":
        os.system("/etc/rc.d/mpd stop")
        os.system("patch /etc/mpd.conf /usr/local/share/mpdstream/mpdstream.diff")
        os.system("/etc/rc.d/icecast start")
        os.system("/etc/rc.d/mpd start")

    elif sys.argv[1] == "off":
        os.system("/etc/rc.d/icecast stop")
        os.system("/etc/rc.d/mpd stop")
        os.system("patch -R /etc/mpd.conf /usr/local/share/mpdstream/mpdstream.diff")
        os.system("/etc/rc.d/mpd start")

    else:
        print "Possible arguments are `on` or `off`."
else:
    print "Possible arguments are `on` or `off`."

I have another utility that's pretty neat, but it was late when I was writing it, and I was frustrated with both bash and python, so I wrote it in C. I'll rewrite it sometime, though.

Edit:
Well, I just rewrote that utility I was talking about in Python.

imageconv
Uses GIMP to convert images between different formats. It's absurdly slow for some reason, but it gets the job done.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys

if len(sys.argv) == 3:
    command = "gimp -d -i -b \"(script-fu-readwrite \\\""
    command += sys.argv[1] +"\\\" \\\"" + sys.argv[2] + "\\\")\" -b \"(gimp-quit 0)\""

    print command
    print sys.argv[1]
    print sys.argv[2]
    os.system(command)
else:
    print "Usage: imageconv <old file> <new file>"

script-fu-readwrite.scm
Scheme makes me want to regurgitate. This is the actual script that the script runs through GIMP.

(define (script-fu-readwrite filename-in filename-out)
    (let* ((image     (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename-in "")))
            (drawable (car (gimp-image-active-drawable image)))
    )

        (gimp-file-save    RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename-out "")
    )
)

Edit II:

bzip2me
Tells me when my files are done being bzip2'd. This is extremely useful for me. Since my tiny 80GB hard drive is always full, I'm always compressing things. This script should help me to stop checking if the compression is done every five seconds.

#!/bin/bash

NUMFILES=`ls -1 . | wc -l`

bzip2 "$1" &

while [ $NUMFILES -ne `ls -1 . | wc -l` ]
do
        sleep 10
done

zenity --info --text "Done bzipping \"$1\"."

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

Normally when I need to update the md5sums in a PKGBUILD I need to edit it with a text editor, remove the old md5sums array, and then regenerate md5sums with makepkg -g.  I wrote a simple script that does all this automatically:

#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -f ./PKGBUILD ]; then
    echo No PKGBUILD in `pwd`
    exit 1
fi

sed -i "/^.*'[a-z0-9]\{32\}'.*$/d" PKGBUILD
makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD

Re: Post your handy self made command line utilities

Stick it in your .xinitrc and you can pick which ever window manager you want when you login... especially if you use autologin from inittab and like using lots of windowmanagers.  Really simple but i find it very useful. you can type the first letter to choose the wm.

#! /bin/bash

PROGRAM=$(zenity --width=0\
           --height=0\
           --list\
           --title "SelectWm"\
            --text "Select Window manager"\
            --column ""\
            "openbox"\
            "pekwm"\
            "fusion-icon"\
            "ion3"\
            "ratpoison"\
            "wmii"\
            "fvwm-crystal"\
            "startxfce4"\
            "awesome"\
                )


case $PROGRAM in 
    (openbox) 
         exec   openbox-session;;
    (pekwm) 
         exec   pekwm;;
    (fusion-icon) 
         exec   fusion-icon;;
    (ion3) 
         exec   ion3;;
    (ratpoison) 
         exec   ratpoison;;
    (wmii) 
         exec   wmii;;
    (fvwm-crystal) 
         exec   fvwm-crystal;;
    (startxfce4) 
         exec   startxfce4;;
    (awesome) 
         exec   awesome ;;
