A Bash Script to Read All Command Line Arguments into an Array Using mapfile Command: Simplify Argument Handling

[allylikes]

I made a cute little startup notification greeter for my Linux system (but it should work anywhere you have access to a POSIX-compliant shell, the date command, and the notify-send command!) I have it included in my window manager's startup script, so it will run every time I log on.

#!/bin/sh [ "$(date +%H)" -gt "11" ] && GREET="afternoon" || GREET="morning" notify-send "Welcome." "Good $GREET, $USER"

That first line is doing a few things. First, it is getting the current hour (in 24-hour time, so an integer between 0 and 23) with $(date +%H). Then the -gt checks if it is greater than 11 (NOT 12; our hour value starts at 0) . If the hour is greater than 11, it sets the variable GREET to "afternoon". If the hour is NOT greater than 11, it sets GREET to "morning".

The second line is a call to the notify-send command, a simple command-line program to send desktop notifications. We pass 2 arguments: The notification title (or "summary" as it is referred to in the documentation), and the body. Our title is simply "Welcome." In the body, we call 2 variables: the GREET variable we set in the first line, and the USER variable which stores your username.

(my setup: Dunst notification daemon, with the Catppuccin Mocha color scheme)

WARP is an amazing AI Linux terminal. The mixing of shell script and natural language is simply mind blowing.

this was meant to be a silly concept sketch that got mildly overproduced for the sake of putting some concepts on paper

it's still fun to make so i'll take it though

Okay OK so

Powershell

is great if you want data types other than string. It does json natively, prints things in pretty tables, etc. It's a decent shell on Linux just for that.

On windows, it's comically overpowered. You can (and I have) write FULL GUI APPS in powershell. You can reach into the sticky soup that is WinDOS, pull at the spaghetti internals, and puppet its corpse like in Ratatouille. You can inline C# code. If your company pays for Office, you can straight up crack that shit open. It's literally insane.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to utilize the ssh command batch mode and timeout option to verify ssh connectivity within a shell script.

Recently I discovered MPD (Music Player Daemon), a music player based on a server/client architecture.

The design allows it to be used with a variety of different clients, all at the same time. That means you can interface with the server through simple command-line commands (mpc), through a terminal user interface (ncmpcpp), through a graphical user interface (ario), or even a web interface (ympd).

Setting it up isn't too hard, and the example configuration file (usually found at /usr/share/doc/mpd/mpdconf.example) provides lots of information and documentation about the available options. One thing you should keep in mind is that MPD's systemd service will use the config file at /etc/mpd.conf. I don't use the systemd service, so I launch it with the command $ mpd ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf.

Once you have your server set up, you need to make it scan your music directory. All clients should have this functionality, but the most simple way to do it is with the mpc client, running $ mpc update. You should only need to do this on the first startup of MPD, and whenever you make changes to your music directory. Confirm that your library has been loaded with $ mpc stats.

To integrate MPD into my workflow, I wanted to implement keybinds to control my media. I know it can be integrated into playerctl (with mpDris2), but I would like separate media keybinding for playerctl. With that in mind, I chose to make my MPD keybinding use the super key + the media keys. In order to do that, I made 3 scripts: mpd-playpause, mpd-volume, and mpd-next. I used DWM's config to bind the relevant keys to these scripts.

These scripts (along with explanations and screenshots) can be found at https://github.com/allylikesu/mpd-scripts.

In the future, I want to implement a little dmenu control panel for MPD , so watch out for that!

stdout stderr was a mistake we needed 3 we needed stdout + stdlogs + stderr. everybody wants their shit to print 'configuration successful' or someshit + that means if I ever have to call ur script and I care what it outputs I gotta parse it bc I can't trust that u won't have loggers set up to spew nonsense at me

Bash as a language has so many issues. But it is still a ton of fun.

Bash scripting is kind of fun actually

I ran into an Erenville RPer in game today who would give out animal facts if you asked and they did give Arsay a fact it was a very cute interaction but it did remind me of the opening of dawntrail when Wuk lamat asks how far they were from the shore, and upon seeing sea birds I knew Arsay would respond that the birds meant they were close to shore only for Erenville to pop up like a second later and said the very same thing. It was such a cute little moment for me.

Ok, that is working much better now. Now I just need to write resume logic so I can download over multiple sessions. Cause the full episodes are over 100 MB and nearly 200 just of them, plus all the others.

Time to download
