heh, had this discussion with people in #bash a little while ago.. where i proposed you can just use just use

echo ./*
echo $?

turns out you have to turn on failglob first though(shopt -s failglob) and i just tested now, also dotglob(shopt -s dotglob) if you want to test for .dotfiles

Can someone give me a little feedback on this mpc script? Any additional feature or bugfixes? http://gist.github.com/77731

EDIT: Perl version with many more features will be coming at some point; check back to the gist now and then. I just have to extend Audio::MPD to support more commands...

Don't have mpc..(songbird finally supports m4a btw!)

here's the script i use the most

#!/bin/bash
#DESC: Creates a script in proper dir, sets executable perm. and enters with vim. if file already exists open it in vim :-)

function exiT { echo include a scriptname or make a ~/bin dir; exit 1; }

{ cd && cd bin; } 2>/dev/null || exiT
if [ -n "$1" -a ! -f "$1" -a "$#" -eq 1 ]
then
        echo \#\!/bin/bash$'\n'\#DESC: "$1" > "$1"
        chmod +x "$1"
        vim "$1"
elif [ -f "$1" -a -n "$1" ]
then
        exec vim "$1"
else
        exiT
fi

I was going to post this to Community Contributions and maybe i will.. I have a bad feeling the date stuff could have been done easier though? oh well.

#!/bin/bash
#DESC: rollback. this script doesn't actually rollback anything yet but it gives you $0 number-of-days-back
# of the pacman log and colors it ugly just to be mean.. (;))
shopt -s extglob

if [[ $1 == +([0-9]) ]]
then
        yeaR=$(date +%Y)
        export LANG=C
        p_M=$(date --date="-${1} days"|cut -d " " -f 2)
        p_D=$(date --date="-${1} days"|cut -d " " -f 3)

        case $p_M in
                Jan)    p_M=01  ;;
                Feb)    p_M=02  ;;
                Mar)    p_M=03  ;;

then there's diffwithcolor because the diff with color perl program didn't work properly(and is like 500 lines or something..)

#!/bin/bash
# diffwithcolor - gives you colored diffs :)

OLD=$(tput setaf 1) # red
SAMELINE=$(tput setaf 4) # blue
NEW=$(tput setaf 2) # green

diff -W 180 -w -y --suppress-common-lines $1 $2|sed "s#\(.*|.*\)#`echo $SAMELINE`&#"|sed "s#\(.*>.*\)#`echo $NEW`&#"|sed "s#\(.*<.*\)#`echo $OLD`&#"

I use it whenever I'm going to watch something and mpd happens to be running.

I decided to make a completely graphical script to control every aspect of my Samsung NC10.

Depends on xdialog, which, atleast for me, was a 0.30mb download.

Remember to add your own nameservers if you use 3G! Also, adding the command to your sudoers makes it easy to initiate this command as a lowly user!

Command:
whateveryounameit (completely interactive)
whateveryounameit add|rm|cmd (goes straight to add|rm|cmd)
whateveryounameit add lan (etc, completely automatic and only notifies you with a popup)

#!/bin/sh

Following scripts are all inspired from other ones here; nothing really original

Use dmenu to play artist

#!/bin/sh

cmd="$(mpc ls | dmenu ${1+"$@"})"

if [ -f ~/Music/"$cmd" ] || [ -d ~/Music/"$cmd" ] && [ -n "$cmd" ]
then
  mpc clear & mpc add "$cmd"
  mpc play
fi

Use dmenu to select netcfg profile

#!/bin/sh

cmd="$(ls /etc/network.d/ -1Ap | grep -v /\$ | dmenu ${1+"$@"})"

if [ -n "$cmd" ]
then
    netcfg -a
    netcfg $cmd
fi

mpd/mplayer status; current song playing through mpd or the filename of whats playing in mplayer

#!/bin/bash

title=$(mpc | awk '/-/ {print $0}')
textp=$(mpc | gawk '/play/ {print $3,$4}')

if [ "${#title}" -eq 0 ]    
then
    mplayer=$(pgrep -d ' ' mplayer)
    if [ "${mplayer}" ]
    then
        proc_file="/proc/$mplayer/cmdline"
        title=$(cat $proc_file | sed 's/^mplayer//g')
        
        echo -n "MPlayer: $title"
    else
        echo -n "Nothing playing"
    fi
else
    echo -n $title
    [ "${#textp}" -eq 0 ] && echo -n " *paused*" 
fi
echo ""

dwm bar; prints useful information: song playing, battery, weather, time

#!/bin/bash

counter=0

while true
do
    #update the weather every 15 minutes - every 2 seconds it too often
    counter=$((counter%900))
    flag=""
    if [ "$counter" -eq 0 ]
    then
        weather=$(weatherget -s CAXX0531 -m -f .weatherget-minimalrc) 
        flag=" *updated*"
    fi

    xsetroot -name "$(./mpd-stat) :: $(acpi | awk '{ print $3, $4 }' | sed s/","//g) :: $weather$flag :: $(date +"%R - %D")"

    sleep 2
    counter=$counter+2
done

script to enable some agressive power saving features. really helps battery life. when turned on with the wireless off, powertop reports 10W, which translates to a comfortable 4 hours of battery life.

Small edit to my atq replacement, now it will display the remaining amount of hours:minutes:seconds instead of the day and time.
So
-00:37:30> echo test
And once again it needs read & execute permission of /var/spool/atd, and it is currently set to only display one line of the command too.

#! /bin/bash
for file in /var/spool/atd/*; do
[ ! -f "$file" ] && echo no atd jobs && exit
awk -W non-decimal-data '{time=$1*60 - systime(); minutes=time%3600/60; hours=time/60/60; seconds=time%60;printf "-%02d:%02d:%02d> ",hours,minutes,seconds }' <<< "0x$(cut -b22- <<< $file)"
sed -n '/}/{n;p}' "$file"
done

edit: fixed hour and minute display

This thread has some really great stuff in it, stuff that is the reason why I love to use linux - custom scripting that doesnt suck!
I realize im not the first to think having a central repository for this would be a good idea. There is the script wiki. But no offense to whoever made the script wiki but it kinda sucks. Its hard to navigate and use because it hasn't really be modified at all. So I present to you:

http://www.toxiccode.com/sscript.php

Its very streamlined and designed for the purpose, I coded it from scratch using PHP (if anyone wants to see the source let me know )
Pick out a username and pass and you can post your scripts/config files/ other stuff as well as rate and comment on others.
I will be adding more features soon such as user pages, search and sortby links. Hope you guys like it.

I took some of the scripts and added them to the page to get it started, giving full credit to the original authors. If I posted your script and you want me to take it down just let me know.

Of course feedback is always welcome and desired.

initbox · 2009-03-17 15:42:09

I know some people wanted something like this some time ago and I decided to practice bash arithmetics, so here you go:

This program executes some action once the current song playing in your mpd is finished.
For example: lolscript "shutdown -h now" - remember the quotes!

#!/bin/sh
#### MPD song changing action ####
#### execute a command when mpd changes songs ####
#### Usage: commandname "command"; for example: mympdscript "shutdown -h now" ####

min1=`mpc status | awk 'NR==2' | awk '{print $3}' | tr "[:,/]" " " | awk '{print $1}'`
min2=`mpc status | awk 'NR==2' | awk '{print $3}' | tr "[:,/]" " " | awk '{print $3}'`
s1=`mpc status | awk 'NR==2' | awk '{print $3}' | tr "[:,/]" " " | awk '{print $2}'`
s2=`mpc status | awk 'NR==2' | awk '{print $3}' | tr "[:,/]" " " | awk '{print $4}'`
rdy=
cmd=$1

while [ $min1 -ne 0 ]; do
    let s1=$s1+60
    let min1=$min1-1
done

while [ $min2 -ne 0 ]; do
    let s2=$s2+60
    let min2=$min2-1
done

let rdy=$s2-$s1
sleep $rdy; $cmd

fflarex · 2009-03-17 20:22:57

@initbox: I wrote a very similar script here, with a few more features as well. But as someone who doesn't know awk at all, I don't understand your script. Does it handle song changes when the next song has an identical title and artist? Because I have been trying to figure out how to do that without complicating my script too much (and also without requiring too much effort).

My script just counts when the current song ends and then executes something. It's very simple ^^

Awk is only used to parse the track elapsed/length from mpc status.

Killa B · 2009-03-20 00:58:10

I've got a really simple, but very effective script. Well, it's not technically even a script...

lsi - case insensitive ls (place in ~/.bashrc)

alias lsi='ls | grep -i'

Example usage:

socrates@localhost ~/Shared/audio $ lsi redman
De La Soul ft.Redman - Oooh.mp3
Keith Murray - Yeah, Yeah, You Know It (feat. Erick Sermon & Redman).mp3
LL Cool J - 4, 3, 2, 1 (Feat. Method Man, Redman, Canibus & DMX).mp3
Method Man & Redman - Broken Language 2008.mp3
Method Man & Redman - Lets Get Dirty.mp3
Method Man & Redman feat. Damian Marley (Jr. Gong) - Lyrical .44.mp3
Method Man, Redman, & Busta Rhymes - Simon Says Remix .mp3
Methode Man & Redman - Americas Most.mp3
Redman - Cant Wait.mp3
Redman - Ill Be Dat.mp3
Redman feat. Busta Rhyme - Da Goodness.mp3
WEED SMOKER - Styles P feat Jin, Redman & Method Man - Good Times (I Get High) unreleased remix.mp3

Daenyth · 2009-03-20 01:03:04

You can get the same behavior by «ls *redman*», assuming that you have nocaseglob set.

initbox · 2009-03-20 14:24:00

Here's another script!

This one leverages the previous mpd-action script as a function.

It will execute a command when your mpd playlist ends. Sometimes it whines about errors and sometimes it doesn't, but it works every time so I don't really care.

scriptname "echo yay finished playing!"

#!/bin/sh
#### Wait until mpd playlist ends and execute action ####
#### example: scriptname "echo yay finished playing!" ####

last=`mpc playlist | wc -l`
action=$1

sleeper () {

Eep.. where to begin... I'll take a little time and remake that for you

EDIT: Nevermind.. I'd recommend a total rewrite of it from scratch. Probably in pure awk or perl. (I'd use perl + Audio::MPD)

Hehe, I can't program Perl at all.

But yeah, I guess it's a sucky script, kind of. I'm just trying to do random bash scripts so I can practice.

I'd actually really like to start programming, but trying to figure out something to program is a tedious task. I like bash scripting, it's kind of like writing simple websites, you can see the results immediately and you can actually do something useful as well. But then again I really, REALLY want to learn programming, it's just that I don't really like writing useless programs just for the sake of it.

(Random babbling, heh.)

Look at project Euler... it might be a handy place to start.

To be fair Windows has shellscripting too (WSH/Powershell/Python/PHP/etc..). But with bash combined with all the commandline tools you can do a lot in a few lines of code that would take a whole page of those other scripting languages.

Yeah, this is true. I memorized the following single line batch script during my high school networking class. Since Windows doesn't have an IP scanner by default, I created this for simple host discovery. It scans an entire Class C network range. More loops can be added for class B or A, obviously.

( for /l %a in (1,1,254) do ( for /f %b in ('ping -n 1 -w 1 192.168.1.%a') do ( if "%b" equ "Reply" ( echo 192.168.1.%a>>tmp )))) && ( cls && echo Found && type tmp && del tmp )

Why not just install nmap?

I carried around a thumb drive with nmap and much more when I could, but this works well if you're caught without any tools and no Internet access.

I present to you torso, the missing link between "head" and "tail"

Usage: torso N [-n M] [FILE]
Prints M lines (default 10) from FILE (or STDIN if FILE is not given), starting at line N

colbert · 2009-03-21 22:28:47

I really like this idea, how would I use it though? Add to .bashrc or have as separate script?

Thanks
