Random shell scripts for different tasks. Mostly for Linux.

Work in progress - more to come.

Some of those scripts were written for my answers on Stack Exchange:

• Make a sound once process is complete (on Ask Ubuntu)
• How can I get my external IP address in bash? (on Unix & Linux)
• How do I find my internal ip address? (on Ask Ubuntu) Some are just for my own conveniece. Maybe they would be useful to someone else.

Usage:

sn1
sn2
sn3
ok
oks

For example to hear when a long-running command finishes and to hear a different sound on success and on failure:

Example with success:

ls / && ls /bin && ls /usr; oks

example with error:

ls / && ls /bim && ls /usr; oks

See ok-functions.md for more info.

Usage: sudo auu

Source: https://rawgit.com/rsp/scripts/master/auu

Update and upgrade a Debian, Ubuntu or other APT-based Linux system.

See auu.md for more info.

Usage: internalip [TARGET]

Source: https://rawgit.com/rsp/scripts/master/internalip

Get internal IP address used for outgoing Internet connections.

TARGET is an IP address, 8.8.8.8 by default, or a host name (if gethostip or getent are available on the system).

See internalip.md for more info.

Usage: externalip [METHOD]

Source: https://rawgit.com/rsp/scripts/master/externalip

Get external IP address that is visible by servers that you connect to over Internet.

METHOD can be: dns (default), http, https, ftp, telnet.

See externalip.md for more info.

Usage: externalip-benchmark

Source: https://rawgit.com/rsp/scripts/master/externalip-benchmark

Find what services providing external IP address via http and https are the fastest.

See externalip-benchmark.md for more info.

Most of those scripts should be stand-alone and can be copied in any place.

My recommendation is to make a ~/bin or ~/scripts directory:

mkdir ~/bin

and put this in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile:

[ -d "$HOME/bin" ] && PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

That way it's easy to put any script there:

cd ~/bin
wget https://rawgit.com/rsp/scripts/master/example
less example # see what was downloaded
chmod a+x example

And use it at will. Of course always see what was downloaded first.
