Bash is a scripting language that's provided with linux distributions. It's a lot like batch scripts on DOS/Windows. Bash is open source and free. That means you already have it on your linux or OSX box, and you can easily install it on your windows machine using cygwin.
If you're interested in learning bash scripting, here are two resources to check out, the first one is especially important to check out:
- How to excel at bash scripting
- Coder Cowboy Programming Resources - check out the "Unix Scripting" sectionmarkd
- backuptousb.sh - personal backup script for external drive backup
- bash_profile.sh - env vars / env functions I use regularly
- fixnefs.sh - fix mismatched NEF/JPG file dates that result from renameit.sh
- laptopbackup.sh - personal laptop backup script
- md5tool.sh - md5 digest creation & validation script
- renameit.sh - rename image files w/ a timestamp based on last modified time
- systembackup.sh - personal backup script for system files
Note: There are various OLD scripts that I don't use anymore moved into the 'old' directory.
If you have any questions, comments, kudos, criticisms about any of the scripts, e-mail me.
All scripts are licensed with the Apache license, which is a great license because, essentially it:
- a) covers liability - my code should work, but I'm not liable if you do something stupid with it
- b) allows you to copy, fork, and use the code, even commercially
- c) is non-viral, that is, your derivative code doesn't have to be open source to use it
Other great licensing options for your own code: the BSD License, or the MIT License.
