Do you write your own .bat/.sh files to deal with menial everyday

Yes.

>>59995903
Yes. I'm going to dump some of them.

#!/bin/bash

day=$(date +%F%R%S%s)
Folder=$1
BACKUPDIR=$2


if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then
    echo "This script takes in only 2 parameters. Exiting...."
    exit 0;
fi


if  [[ -d $BACKUPDIR ]]; then
          File="$BACKUPDIR/$day.tar.bz2"
     elif [[ ! -e $BACKUPDIR ]]; then
     mkdir -p $BACKUPDIR
         File="$BACKUPDIR/$day.tar.bz2"
     elif  [[! -d $BACKUPDIR ]]; then
         echo "$BACKUPDIR exists but isn't a directory"
         exit 0;
         
fi

if  [[ -d "$Folder" ]]; then 
         tar -cvpjf $File $Folder                  
         find $File* -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;         
   elif [[ ! -d $Folder ]]; then
     echo "$Folder exists but isn't a directory"
     exit 0;
    elif [[ ! -e $Folder ]]; then
         echo "Invalid directory name"
         exit 0;
fi

Works great with cron

Forgot to say that this was my backup script

Here's my youtube-dl script:

#!/bin/bash

CURRENT=$PWD
VIDEODIR=$1
FILELOC=$2
INDEX=$3
if [[ $# = 2 ]]; then


     if [[ -d $VIDEODIR ]]; then
    cd $VIDEODIR
     elif [[ ! -d $VIDEODIR ]]; then
    echo "$VIDEODIR exists but isn't a directory"
    exit 0;
     elif [[ ! -e $VIDEODIR ]]; then
    mkdir -p $VIDEODIR
        cd $VIDEODIR
     fi
        read -p "Download playlist [1] or individual videos [2]? " answer

     if [[ $answer = 1 ]]; then
        echo "$(<"$FILELOC")"|xargs youtube-dl -f best -o '%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s' -i
        cd $CURRENT
     elif [[ $answer = 2 ]]; then
        echo "$(<"$FILELOC")"|xargs youtube-dl -f best -i
        cd $CURRENT
     else 
        echo "Not a valid option. Exiting..."
        exit 0;
     fi


elif [[ $# = 3 ]]; then
  


     if [[ -d $VIDEODIR ]]; then
    cd $VIDEODIR
     elif [[ ! -d $VIDEODIR ]]; then
    echo "$VIDEODIR exists but isn't a directory"
    exit 0;
     elif [[ ! -e $VIDEODIR ]]; then
    mkdir -p $VIDEODIR
        cd $VIDEODIR
     fi
        read -p "Download playlist [1] or individual videos [2]? " answer

     if [[ $answer = 1 ]]; then
        echo "$(<"$FILELOC")"|xargs youtube-dl -f best -o '%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s' --playlist-start $INDEX -i
        cd $CURRENT
     elif [[ $answer = 2 ]]; then
        echo "$(<"$FILELOC")"|xargs youtube-dl -f best --playlist-start $INDEX -i
        cd $CURRENT
     else 
        echo "Not a valid option. Exiting..."
        exit 0;
     fi
else
  echo "This script takes in only 2 or 3 parameters. Exiting...."
  exit 0;

fi

>>59996423
And my 4chan image downloader script:

#!/bin/bash

CURRENT=$PWD
VIDEODIR=$1
CHANURL=$2
CHAN=$3

if [[ $# -ne 3 ]]; then
       echo "This script takes in only 3 parameters. Exiting...."
       exit 0;
fi


if [[ -d $VIDEODIR ]]; then
    cd $VIDEODIR
elif [[ ! -d $VIDEODIR ]]; then
    echo "$VIDEODIR exists but isn't a directory"
    exit 0;
elif [[ ! -e $VIDEODIR ]]; then
    mkdir -p $VIDEODIR
    cd $VIDEODIR 
fi    

echo "$(<"$CHANURL")" | xargs chandere --chan $3 -d
cd $CURRENT

I like powershell for automating tasks.

>>59995903
just some trivial script to expedite the launching of wine applications mostly.

Like,

APP_PATH="/whatevs"
APP_BIN="app.exe"
WINEBIN=wine
export WINEDEBUG=-all
RESOLUTION=1366x768

cd $APP_PATH
xrandr --output monitor1 --mode $RES
$WINE $APP_BIN
xrandr --output monitor1 --mode 1920x1080

>.bat files
Never.

>.sh files
Yes.

I use Windows at home, but fortunately I don't have many menial tasks to do on my personal computer. At work I use Linux. I have .sh scripts to automate some common stubby calls I need to make so I don't have to type them out, that's about it.

I want to make a windows script to move files from one folder to another every boot, with a whitelist of files that remain. No idea where to start though.

>generating passwords
oh I know the code for that

echo butter

I have this service that monitors changes to a directory:

import sys, time, logging, json, socket, handlers
from logging.handlers import SysLogHandler
from watchdog.observers import Observer

threads = []

with open('conf.json') as fp:
    _file = json.load(fp)

paths = _file['directories']
event_handlers = _file['handlers']

if __name__ == "__main__":
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO,
                        format='%(asctime)s - %(message)s',
                    datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
    log_handler = SysLogHandler(address='/dev/log')
    logging.getLogger().addHandler(log_handler)
    observer = Observer()

    for x in paths:
        target = str(x)
        for h in event_handlers:
            event_handler = getattr(handlers, h)()
            observer.schedule(event_handler, target, recursive=True)
            threads.append(observer)

    observer.start()

    try:
        while True:
            time.sleep(1)
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        observer.stop()
    observer.join()

the handlers in the handlers module have an action for files if they create/update/delete/move. The handlers can include logic like only watching for *.py files.

in this way, If I want to drop some file in a folder, I can have actions taken on the file automatically. Lets say the handler takes a python file i drop into a directory and runs a series of unit tests on it. Sorta handy. If anybody wants to see a handler example I can post.

>>59996580
Sure.

lol i forgot about sprunge

I automate robocopy with batch scripts to do my backups.
I connect my phone and run the sricpt, It saves my camera pics, my contacts, my messenger pics and so on.
Comfy shit

I have a script that launches sopcast with mplayer for certain romanian channels like
./player.sh protv
./player.sh antena3
.player.sh primatv

etc

pls anon, have a look

I have various .bat's for youtube-dl. Other than that, no, since Windows has good software.

Huh, thanks for pointing that out anon. I guess I'll use rsync instead of tar.
