Post your bash scripts and aliases!

[Interestedinthepenguin]

I have gotten into bash scripting and am having a blast.

I am curious of what others have created.


Here are my scripts (some may need some personalizing tweaks):

info.sh screenshot script (not mine; from http://ubuntukids.org/blog/?page_id=25), I modded it to display Beryl theme, font, and conky font

conky-pack creates a conky startup script, tars it and my conky(rc) files, and deletes the newly created script.

febe-sort sorts the files exported by FEBE (Firefox extension), placing them in separate directories.

port-stylishrdf copies the file, stylish.rdf, to another directory as a backup method. (is in my crontab file)

port-searchp ports the Firefox's searchplugins folder as a means of backup

ls2 modifies sort order of 'ls' to: directories (numbers, capital, lowercase), files (numbers, capital, lowercase). ...serves as one of my aliases.

ls2a like ls2, but also lists hidden files.

aliases:
ls2=$HOME/scripts/ls2

lsa=$HOME/scripts/ls2a

updatedb='sudo updatedb -v'

ytdl='youtube-dl -t'

srmn='apropos'


Cronjobs are welcome.

One of my most useful scripts is a bash script that provides a neat and orderly way to mount to CIFS shares (Windows network shares). You place a simple client script in ~/bin/. along with the smb_net include script. The client script contains the user, server, share, domain, and includes (by reference) the smb_net script. The smb_net script contains all of the logic for using the client information and attaching to a CIFS network. smb_net creates a ~/mnt directory and attaches the CIFS share beneath the user account. Once you get your client scripts set up, it makes mounting to specific network shares a breeze! I use this very often.

I attached a tar file that contains several sample client scripts and the smb_net script that is included in each of the clients scripts. Make sure to follow the instructions in the smb_net. You must make sure user account is a member of the "users" group and provide the documented users sudo entry. This needs to be done only once for everything to work properly.

I made a small bash that preloads a hack for Urban Terror then runs the game.
Though I don't think it's really worth attaching to my post.

i got loads of stuff, most i got from the internet and maybe changed a bit.

here's a clock

# clock - A bash clock that can run in your terminal window. 
clock () 
{ 
while true;do clear;echo "===========";date +"%r";echo "===========";sleep 1;done 
}

network info

netinfo ()
{
echo "--------------- Network Information ---------------"
/sbin/ifconfig | awk /'inet addr/ {print $2}'
echo ""
/sbin/ifconfig | awk /'Bcast/ {print $3}'
echo ""
/sbin/ifconfig | awk /'inet addr/ {print $4}'

# /sbin/ifconfig | awk /'HWaddr/ {print $4,$5}'
echo "---------------------------------------------------"
}

define a word

# Define a word - USAGE: define dog
define ()
{
lynx -dump "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+${1}&btnG=Google+Search" | grep -m 3 -w "*"  | sed 's/;/ -/g' | cut -d- -f1 > /tmp/templookup.txt
			if [[ -s  /tmp/templookup.txt ]] ;then	
				until ! read response
					do
					echo "${response}"
					done < /tmp/templookup.txt
				else
					echo "Sorry $USER, I can't find the term \"${1} \""				
			fi	
\rm -f /tmp/templookup.txt
}

here's a find function

function    ff               { find . -name $@ -print; }

here's a welcome message for when i open my terminal

clear

echo -ne "${LIGHTGREEN}" "Hello, $USER. today is, "; date
echo -e "${WHITE}"; cal ;  
echo -ne "${CYAN}";
echo -ne "${LIGHTPURPLE}Sysinfo:";uptime ;echo ""

here are some colour definitions for the above message

I've only made one script which deleted all the images from my Music folder, but I lost it when I reinstalled.

I'm cutting back on using aliases cuz I'm getting too dependant

i have got some more too, below.

but, i was wondering if this alias could cause problems -

alias d='cd /home/iceni60/Desktop'

because i remember having it in the past and i removed it for some reason, i can't remember why. also, i'd think it's quite an obvious alias to have, but no one else seems to have it??

alias h='history'

A lot of my scripts apply to network environments, thus wouldn't be much good to people without a lot of modification.

I will share a goodie though, for those of you who support or use AMD (AutoMounter Daemon, not Advanced Micro Devices)

alias up 'cd $cwd:h/\!*'  #<-- traverse up one logical directory path as opposed to an exported physical path, remounting if necessary.

@ice60

Nothing appears to be wrong with the cd-to-desktop alias.

...i'd think it's quite an obvious alias to have, but no one else seems to have it??

It wasn't an obvious alias to me. ...I don't change to that directory often enough.

Nice prompt. ...but some of the code came out as odd characters.

Here's mine:

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[36;1m\](\l)\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h:\[\033[37;1m\]\$\[\033[01;34m\]\w/\[\033[00m\]'

I just changed it yesterday.

The fun part about it is that it shows which terminal I'm in.

i'll keep the d alias then, thanks

i always forget most people use their home directory for a lot of their work whereas i use the desktop
