Hi to all !!
I will also like to receive (if it is possible) those famous Scripts !
:)
:-D To do useful things in the shell, for instance calculating how much space a directory takes or renaming all files in a directory in a specific way etc. Anything useful for daily work. Not anything specific. I saw this script which showed the load of the machine by changing color of the prompt, I tried it but it had several errors which made it unusable. Got anything similar? Any other useful script of this kind would be appreciated.

Hi! Does anyone have any useful bash scripts?
To do what? :-) This question is similar to asking "does anyone have some useful tools?"
For example: I have a bash script that treats a SuSE box as a BBS for the only purpose of downloading files. The user can call in and choose only of of four options. It probably wouldn't do you any good. I have python script which takes a set of files and distributes them to existing accounts or stores them until the desired account has been created. This, too, wouldn't be of much value to you. See what I am saying?
What do you want done? JLK
I have installed some from the HOW-TO that shows the amount of data in the current dir, very useful. I also added a few that makes the dir listing easier to read. (email me if u want me to send it to u)
