Post your handy self made command line utilities

mpd 0.16 seems to have removed smart previous, that rewinded the song instead of playing the previous song when you were a few seconds in.

#! /bin/bash
IFS='()%' read a b c < <(mpc | tail -n 2)
((b<=2)) && mpc prev || mpc seek 0

I wanted a simple client to LambdaMOO (a social text-based virtual world in which players can program objects and areas), but with better command editing features than what telnet and netcat offered. This client uses rlwrap to provide readline features. It also underlines directions such as "north" and "downwards."

I am somewhat new to shell scripting and welcome constructive feedback – especially if there's an alternative to create the named pipe (mkfifo), or if there is a more conventional directory to place such things. I suspect I unwittingly violate some etiquette as well.

#!/bin/bash

# The directory in which the named pipe will be placed.
gamedir=$HOME/games/muds

mud=lambda.moo.mud.org
port=8888

if ! [ -p $gamedir/stdin ]; then
   echo "The named pipe $gamedir/stdin does not exist. Do you wish to create it?"
   read ANSWER
   if [ $(echo $ANSWER | egrep "^[yY]") ]; then
      if ! [ -d $gamedir ]; then
         mkdir -p $gamedir
      fi
      mkfifo $gamedir/stdin
   else
      exit
   fi
fi

if [ $1 ]; then
   mud=$1
   if [ $2 ]; then
      port=$2
   else
      port=23
   fi
fi

rlwrap sh -c "
telnet $mud $port < $gamedir/stdin |
sed 's/\([^a-z]\|^\)\(west\|east\|south\|north\|up\|down\)\([a-z]*\)/\1\x1b[4m\2\3\x1b[0m/ig'&

cat > $gamedir/stdin"

@Nichollan Nice! I am not familiar with rlwrap, reading the man page now. The Wikipedia page for LambdaMOO is fascinating reading.

Wrote this and stuck it in my .bashrc file so I could get a realtime stock quote quickly from my shell sessions.

stock ()
{
lynx -dump "http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=${1}" | sed 's/.*']'//' | perl -00ne "print if /Watch this stock/i" | sed 's/Watch this stock//' | sed 's/Disclaimer//' | sed '/^$/d' | sed 's/Currency in USD//'
}

Looks like this when run

here is a quick script I use to turn an image into a black and white. This uses a different method than typical de-saturation and gives a very nice result 90% of the time. This is a nautilus script so place it in your scripts folder and make it executable, then select image and run the script from the right-click script menu.

#!/bin/bash
#Requires imagemagick
input=$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS
fileName=$( basename $input | cut -f1 -d.)
(echo "25" ; convert -depth 16 $input -colorspace HSL -channel B -separate ${fileName}'_bw.jpg') | zenity --progress --width=350 --title="Quick Black & White" --text="Converting..." --pulsate --auto-close
exit 0

Edit-
-Added a zenity progress window
-forgot code tags

A quick hack to use vim in sever mode on command-line.

vim () {
    local vim_orig=$(which 2>/dev/null vim)
    if [ -z $vim_orig ]
    then
        echo "$SHELL: vim: command not found"
        return 127
    fi
    $vim_orig --serverlist | grep --color=auto -q VIM
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
        if [ $# -eq 0 ]
        then
            $vim_orig
        else
            $vim_orig --remote "$@"
        fi
    else
        $vim_orig --servername vim "$@"
    fi
}

Anytime you type vim with a file name, the file will be open in the existing vim.

If you really want an other vim window, simply type vim without arguments.

I invented the wheel umpteenth time once, it's a script to take a directory of zips and move them to subdirectories with the zips name, so that a.zip b.zip become a/a.zip b/b.zip

I am now using pulse audio and needed a way to increment, decrement or mute the volume in a way that could be bound to media keys in xfce4:

#!/bin/bash
oldvolume=$(pacmd dump|grep set-sink-volume|grep alsa |cut -f3 -d' ')
pacmd dump | grep set-sink-mute | grep alsa | grep yes > /dev/null
oldmute=$?
case $1 in

increase)
    newvolume=$(($oldvolume + 0x400))
    if (($newvolume >0x10000)) ; then
        newvolume=$((0x10000))
    fi
    pacmd set-sink-volume 0 $(printf '0x%x' $((newvolume)) ) 
    ;;

decrease)
    newvolume=$(($oldvolume - 0x400))
    if (($newvolume < 0 )) ; then
        newvolume=$((0x0000))
    fi
    pacmd set-sink-volume 0 $(printf '0x%x' $((newvolume)) ) 
    ;;

mute)
    if [[(($oldmute == 0))]] ; then
       pacmd set-sink-mute 0 0
    else
       pacmd set-sink-mute 0 1
    fi
    ;;
*)
    echo "usage pavolume increase | decrease | mute"
esac

Based on some one liners found on the net. Assuming program is called pavolume:

pavolume increase
pavolume decrease
pavolume mute

Note that the last example toggles the mute state

As it's cold outside i really watch a lot of tv series right now. I wrote a small but ugly zsh function to auto-choose the next file to play. It's far from elegant and i have a few ideas to improve and enhance it. I think it's ok for the 15 minutes of work i put into it.

mp is an alias to mplayer.ext, change all occurances to fit your player, e.g. mplayer.

# guess next file to play with mp
# TODO: handle errors
# TODO: check if next_file is a movie file
# TODO: check if last file in folder
# TODO: use full path
next()
{
    # get last occurance of mp in history, get rid of the number and mp
    last_para=$(history 1 | egrep -e "[0-9]  mp " | tail -n 1 |\
        awk '{for (i=3;i<NF+1;i++) printf("%s", $i)}')
    last_path=$(dirname ${last_para})
    next_file=$(ls -1 ${last_path} | grep -A 1 `basename ${last_para}`\
        | tail -n 1)    
    run="mp ${last_path}/${next_file}"
    # put it in history
    print -s -r -- ${run}
    print -s -r -- "next"
    # run it
    print ${run}
    mp ${last_path}/${next_file}
}

I'm going to try and maybe expand this for more info. If you guys have any pointers let me know, I know there's a lot of hard coded stuff in there but I found that it was probably better for performance sakes...

Note: the code for the CPU time I got from searching, can't really find the website now. Anyway enjoy!

This is a very usefull script, it will be great if you can extend it to mount/umount optical devices, floppy or mmc drives.
Thanks!

You might be interested in my extended version of this script called udsks
You'll notice that I've added optical drives at the top as "/dev/sr", and there's no reason you couldn't add floppy drives, etc too.
Udsks gives a bit more information and is less rigid in requiring udisks to report a filesystem on the device.

Hope this helps.

Here is a first (not actually first, but is/was the first "release-mature")
version of a handy music playing script i made for mplayer.

The idea is that it randomizes the songs from a given folder,
but the twist is that it does so with different set speeds each time it
plays a new song.

It might sound crazy, but it does not actually _sound_ that crazy,
it is within (i think atleast) sane upper and lower speed limits
and for me it makes any song sound like a new "version" each time

I most often use it to get some background music running while surfing, or doing something else.

I got it up to AUR aswell: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41543

I am pondering whether is should make the syntax more "standard"-like,
with -switches or so.
And the name with an underscore i most often use to be extra certain that their won't be
any "name-collisions" or such.

I am quite new at bash, so this served as my second stab at it, and i have some ideas
on some improvements, what do you think?

#!/bin/bash

#
# PReP - RandomSpeedPlay 3.0
#
# This silly script randomizes two set of numbers,
# One for mplayer to play an mp3 with a random faster speed,
# And Another for playing it slower.
# Lastly It Randomized wheter using the "syntax" for lower of faster
# - And then invokes mplayer, the mp3 and the speed setting with the
# Randomized Variable. :)
