shell-scripts [back]
I sometimes need shell-scripts, in order to perform repetitive or annoying tasks.
Here are the one I use almost daily :
quickinstall
This script allows to quickly install a tarball. It does your job from gunzipping
to su -c "make install".
Usage: quickinstall tarball [options]
tarball : any .tar, .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file, or a directory.
options : options passed to configure.
download
lmanager
This script is useful for laptops ; it allows user (in fact, root) to quickly
switch from one network configuration to another. I use it between my home, a
friend's home and my office.
This script is adapted to my linux distribution, LinuxPPC, and will possibly
require tweaking for yours.
Basically, configurations are defined in the script's case block ; each
configuration will need one resolv.conf, and one ipchains script, which will
overwrite the system's default files when applied.
Usage: su -c "lmanager configname"
download
pan 0.11.4-bl
This is probably the last GTK1 release of Pan. I put it on the web because feeled
worried about most people losing the last CVS changes. In addition to this I
integrated my SSL patch ;-).
BL stands for Bleeding Edge, this release contains backports of new
features added after 0.11.3 in the gtk2 branch of Pan. This is an
unofficial release, please don't mail bugreports on
Pan mailing-lists nor on Pan's bugtracker.

kenny.c
This is a quick port of the kennyfier script found on
http://www.namesuppressed.com/kenny/.
It translates your strings from and to Kenny-language. Completely useless but
fun :)
Thanks to Kohan Ikin <syneryder at namesuppressed dot com> for letting me
put this under the LGPL.
