bin

My set of useful scripts.

Installation

Usually should be cloned to $HOME/bin user's directory and added to path.

On Linux

Debian should include $HOME/bin folder to path out of the box.

If not then add this line to .profile file:

PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

On Windows

Append absolute path to bin folder to Path variable in Control Panel → System.

Highlights

Run SSH agent on Windows

Add file ~/.bashrc with the following content:

# Add alias for ssh-agent-connect script from ~/bin repo
alias sac='source ssh-agent-connect'

# Try to connect to ssh-agent to have `ssh-add` working in every bash window
sac

Now every time when open a new bash window it will try to connect to ssh-agent.

If ssh-agent is not started yet it has to be started:

ssh-agent-start

Then ssh-add will work in new bash windows. To make it work in the current bash window you need to execute sac or source ssh-agent-connect and the current session will connect to ssh-agent successfully.

I tested this only for a terminal emulator provided by Git for Windows package.

"Disable user input" and "Turn off monitor" features for TeamViewer on Debian

teamviewer-always-disable-user-input.sh script automatically detects TeamViewer active session and turns off monitors and optionally disables mouse/keyboard.

Add this line to ~/.profile file:

~/bin/teamviewer-always-disable-user-input.sh --no-devices &

This scripts is just watching for a TeamViewer sessions and executes another script teamviewer-disable-user-input.sh which does the trick.

Also it is possible to disable input devices (e.g. mouse or keyboard) together with monitors by passing device IDs to the script.

When TeamViewer session ends the script locks user.

Just in case there is a script teamviewer-recover-devices.sh which recovers monitors and input devices if something went wrong.
