LifeEasyScripts

Useful bash scripts to save time

---

1. filefind.sh

• Script iterates through my computer (directories and subdirectories), finds all the files and folders that match the name I input and returns their path
• Case insensitive, so lowercase, UPPERCASE and camelCase all work
• Should be made executable using $ "chmod +x find_lecture.sh" before running it.
• Does NOT require root privileges, but it might not be able to access certain directories due to permission restrictions
• In case of permission restriction, the terminal prompts the user for password access

2. custom_screenshot_mac.sh

• Script makes a graphical interface using an applescript command to prompt the user for the name of the screenshot
• One has 2 seconds to go to the window they want to take a screenshot of
• The screenshot is story on the desktop in the format "CustomName Year-Month-Day"
• Make executable my running $ "chmod +x custom_screenshot_mac.sh"

3. sleep.sh

• Script to sleep mac
• $ "chmod +x sleep.sh"

4. lock.sh

• Script to lock mac screen
• $ "chmod +x lock.sh"

5. empty_trash.sh

• Script to empty the trash

6. colored_test.sh

• Script to print colored welcome in my terminal everytime I open it
• Calls python scripts to print the top 5 hacker news headers and links, some stocks, and a task list (alias: task_add "ADD TASK", task_remove task_index, task_list)
