# utility_scripts: a collection of miscellaneous scripts for use on my GNU/Linux laptop
|
|
- `autopape.sh`: a simple script to endlessly loop through each image in a directory and set said image as the desktop wallpaper for a specified time period.
|
|
Both the command used to set the wallpaper and the time interval between wallpaper changes can be specified with optional flags & arguments.
|
|
Uses `feh --bg-fill` & an interval of `1m` by default.
|
|
- `bluetooth-off.sh`: script for disabling bluetooth with bluetoothcl on a system that uses
|
|
runit as its init system (such as Void GNU/Linux).
|
|
- `bluetooth-on.sh`: Same as `bluetooth-off.sh` but for enabling bluetooth.
|
|
- `bluetooth_dmenu.pl`: Perl script that allows the user to select a bluetooth device to connect to via `dmenu`.
|
|
- `bluetooth_info.pl`: Perl script to display information about connected bluetooth devices. Designed to be used with polybar.
|
|
- `bspwm_window_count.sh`: script for listing the number of open windows on the current "desktop" (workspace) with the bspwm window manager.
|
|
Primarily for use in status bars as indicator that windows may be hidden behind another when in floating or monocle mode.
|
|
- `clean_files.sh`: script that loops through each file in a directory, opens each file with the `mimeopen` utility, and prompts the user to decide whether
|
|
or not to delete the image.
|
|
- `defn`: shell script to look up word in dictionary file in the format: `word:\tdefinition\n`.
|
|
- `ensure_connected.sh`: script to remedy my broken WiFi, which has an issue of disconnecting unpredictably and then requiring several attempts to reconnect as
|
|
if the password supplied were incorrect despite it not being changed since the inital connection.
|
|
This script checks if the WiFi is connected at regular intervals, and if not will keep trying to reconnect until successful.
|
|
Reads WiFi network name from a `config.env` file and uses the hashed password already store by NetworkManager.
|
|
- `file_previewer.sh`: a script for generating terminal file previews, for use in the terminal file manager `lf`.
|
|
Uses the `mimetype` utility to identify the filetype and generates an appropriate preview (text, ASCII image, etc).
|
|
- `hide_bar.sh`: script for hiding & unhiding the polybar bar on the bspwm window manager.
|
|
- `hugo_post.sh`: simple script to create a new Hugo post with the directory structure `/content/posts/Post Title/index.md` instead of the default
|
|
`/content/posts/Post Title.md` created when you run the command `hugo new content`.
|
|
- `list_manual_pkgs.sh`: one-line script to list only the names of packages manually installed with the xbps package manager (the default Void package manager).
|
|
- `qutebrowser_search.sh`: script that finds all the search engines defined in the qutebrowser `config.py` configuration file and makes them available for
|
|
searching via dmenu, i.e. allow web searching with qutebrowser without having to wait for it to start up before you start your search.
|
|
- `repos_checker.sh`: script to find all of the Git repositories in the current directory & its sub-directories and display each found repository's `git status`.
|
|
- `screenshot.sh`: screenshot script with selection using `maim` that both saves the image file and adds the image to the `xclip` clipboard, and notifies the user
|
|
of the screenshot via `notify-send`.
|
|
- `stdin_to_notis.sh`: scripts that reads from `stdin` and sends each line as a system notification.
|
|
Intended for use when a program that outputs to `stdout` is called from a non-terminal or graphical program, making the `stdout` output inaccessible.
|
|
The output can instead be piped into this script to make it readable as a system notification.
|
|
- `stopwatch.sh`: simple stopwatch script that counts the elapsed time in seconds, and displays it in the format HH:MM:SS.
|
|
- `sync_music.sh`: script to sync my Android phone's music library to the contents of my `~/media/music/` directory, i.e. copy my music library from my
|
|
laptop to my phone.
|
|
- `webcam.sh`: one-line script that uses the video viewer program `mpv` as a webcam by using `/dev/video0` as its video file source.
|
|
- `wifi_dmenu.sh`: script to connect to an available WiFi network with a dmenu prompt.
