# cli-scripts
|
|
|
|
Useful CLI scripts that I think are worth sharing.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE: With all of these, you'll need to customize the environment for yourself. I have yet to make things like home directories and what-not generic variables**
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
The scripts in the scripts directory rely heavily the expectation that you
|
|
already have a number of applications installed on your system. If you're
|
|
on a Debian or Ubuntu-ish system, then installing them should be more or less
|
|
as simple as an `apt install {whatever}`. For the rest of you, you'll have to
|
|
make your own way. Sorry.
|
|
|
|
Here is the prerequisite list broken down by script:
|
|
|
|
### apps
|
|
|
|
This is a little ncurses menu I built for myself. Dependencies will be
|
|
determined by how you decide to customize the menu for yourself (i.e. what
|
|
applications you want to put in the menu), but there is one common
|
|
dependency.
|
|
|
|
* `dialog` - I think this comes automatically with Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
### birthdate
|
|
|
|
prints the initial installation date of your system
|
|
|
|
* None
|
|
|
|
### cecho
|
|
|
|
provides colorized echo messages
|
|
|
|
* The **bash** version of `printf` for best results
|
|
|
|
### checkit
|
|
|
|
performs a grammatical version of code linting, but on your text documents.
|
|
|
|
* `vale` - https://vale.sh/
|
|
* `go` - Their Dockerfile (for the docker implementation) calls for golang 1.21
|
|
* `.config/vale` - included in this repo. Vale is a bit confusing to setup. So, I'm providing my vale config as a 'starter pack'. This just goes into your own ~/.config location.
|
|
|
|
### dirsz
|
|
|
|
dumps a list of the directory sizes recursively from your CWD
|
|
|
|
* None
|
|
|
|
### fif
|
|
|
|
A "find-in-files" utility for the console.
|
|
|
|
* `fd-find` - a better substitute for the standard 'find' command
|
|
|
|
### forecast
|
|
|
|
Dumpe a three-day forecast to your console
|
|
|
|
* `curl`, and a network connection (for access to wttr.in)
|
|
|
|
### getvid
|
|
|
|
downloads a youtube video given the web url to the video (and specified resolution)
|
|
|
|
* `yt-dlp`
|
|
|
|
### ifcheck
|
|
|
|
shows the state of your ethernet/wifi interface
|
|
|
|
* `ip` - I can't remember if this was something I had to install after the fact.
|
|
|
|
### memo
|
|
|
|
* None - However, you'll need to modify the script to specify your own editor, and you'll have to create a "memos" directory in your Documents folder.
|
|
|
|
### netcheck
|
|
|
|
Tells you if the internet is accessible from your shell.
|
|
|
|
* None
|
|
|
|
### oggrec
|
|
|
|
Starts a recording from the console, using your default mic
|
|
|
|
* `alsa-utils` - provides `arecord` which captures the raw audio input
|
|
* `vorbis-tools` - provides `oggenc` which encodes it to ogg and stores it to the specified file
|
|
|
|
### spchk
|
|
|
|
command line spell checker
|
|
|
|
* `aspell` - available in Ubuntu repositories
|
|
* `aspell-en` - there are dictionaries for a multitude of languages. I'm an english speaker.
|
|
* `cecho` - see above. I like colored messages.
|
|
|
|
### status
|
|
|
|
Combines the ifcheck, netcheck, wx, and a few other commands into a full screen status display
|
|
|
|
* `ifcheck` - see above
|
|
* `netcheck` - see above
|
|
* `cecho` - see above
|
|
* `wx` - seee below
|
|
|
|
### tone
|
|
|
|
generates a sine wave of the specified frequency and duration as a wav file.
|
|
|
|
* `ffmpeg`
|
|
|
|
### tones
|
|
|
|
same as above, only does it in stereo
|
|
|
|
### usedisk
|
|
|
|
generates a 1.44MB floppy disk image, and attempts to mount it on your system
|
|
|
|
* None - however, you should be careful. This will consume loop devices, in order to mount the created disk
|
|
|
|
### vmemo
|
|
|
|
records a short, low-resolution (small size) 15 second audio memo from your default mic
|

Launches VLC in ncurses mode, and automatically starts playing music from your ~/Music folder
|
|
|
|
* `vlc` - video lan client
|
|
|
|
### vradio

|
|
Same as above, but if you have m3u radio stations stored in your vlc config, it will pick a station at random.
|
|
|
|
* `vlc` - video lan client
|
|
|
|
### wx
|
|
|
|
displays the current weather conditions for your area. You'll need to customize the script.
|
|
|
|
* `ansiweather` - available in Debian and Ubuntu repositories.
|
|
|
|
### yootoob
|
|
|
|
A utility for searching and watching youtube videos without a browser
|
|
|
|
* `ytfzf` (which I believe also has a dependency on `yt-dlp`)
|
|
* `mpv` - although, you could substitute in mplayer or vlc or whatever you like
|
|
