Release A few of my scripts

[crosenblum]

Some of these I created from scratch, other's I took from other os's and implemented them here.

fix_public_keys.sh - This takes a perl script that was released here to find and import public key's for repositories, i just made it all into a bash script that could be automated.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#fix gg errors with missing public keys
#http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=31980

#variables
dir="$HOME/gpg-fix"

#step 1. if folder does not exist create it
if [ ! -d "$dir" ]; then

	#go to home folder
	cd $HOME

	#create folder
	mkdir gpg-fix

fi

#step 2. Download a new copy of the perl script

#change to the fix folder
cd gpg-fix

#download the perl script in compressed tar.gz format
wget http://savvas.radevic.com/launchpad/change.tar.gz -O change.tar.gz

#untar the file to the current folder
tar xzvf change.tar.gz

#step 3. run perl script
perl ./*.pl

#step 4. return to home folder
cd $HOME

#step 5. exit
exit

update_ifilter.sh - Grabs the ipfilter.dat from bluetack which hosts a wide variety of ip block lists, and then put's it in the qbittorrent folder, but you can easily change what folder that is for.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#setup variables
tempfolder=$HOME/Downloads
httpsite=http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config
httpfile=nipfilter.dat.gz
httpfileuncompressed=nipfilter.dat
blocklist=ipfilter.dat

echo.

gcal_synch.sh - This help's download on a regular basis a ical formatted version of my google calendar, so that Rainlendar can display my current schedule

change_wallpaper.sh - I wasn't able to get any wallpaper app to work, so i created a bash script to randomally grab a wallpaper from my stored wallpapers and set it as my wallpaper, plus it does a notify to let me know the wallpaper has changed

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# Script to randomly set Background from files in a directory

# Directory Containing Pictures
DIR="your wallpaper folder"

# Command to Select a random jpg file from directory
# Delete the *.jpg to select any file but it may return a folder
PIC=$(ls "$DIR"/*.jpg | shuf -n1)

# Command to set Background Image
mateconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/mate/background/picture_filename "$PIC"

#send notification message that a wallpaper changed
notify-send -i 'dialog-information' 'Changing Wallpaper' "$PIC";
exit

I am working on some other bash scripts, to help automate my renaming, moving, of movies and tv shows.

I really loved automating things, via window's batch scripts, and now am learning to love to do the same in linux.

I hope you enjoy any of these...

any comments or thoughts anyone?

Any suggestions for improvements?

Some nice scripts. I know I've needed the first one for a while. I've already obtained a wallpaper script from somewhere else on the forum, and modified it to change the wallpaper every 6 hours and wait in between (probably better practice to make it a cron job though).

With the wallpaper script, I've got some PNG's in my wallpaper folder. So I modified the *.jpg part to *.*p*g. That matches both jpg/jpeg, and png, and probably a couple of other extensions. There is probably a better way.
