It's a shell script that lets you save the man pages for one or more Unix commands, system calls or other topics, to text files, after cleaning up the man command output to remove formatting meant for emphasis, printing, etc.

A simple shell script to keep the wife off of your back... (Bash)

Bash recipe 578781 by Barry Walker (apple, bash, linux, macbook_pro, reminder, script, shell).

How many times have you been asked to remember to do something from the other half whilst she is out for a short while.

For example: "You WILL check the dinner every few minutes won't you?"

And how many times did/do you forget?

Most of us have been there...

This is a simple kids level, practical learning, shell script that generates an "xterm" with your reminder inside every 30 seconds for a period of 3 seconds.

It is always be the active front window for 3 seconds at a time to _annoy_ you into remembering.

Usage: reminder "What you have to remember here using spaces AND double quotes."<CR>

Just reanme the downloaded script to reminder and remember to chmod it as required.

Just run it from your default terminal and when finished press Ctrl-C just AFTER the xterm window closes.

There is NO error detection so steer clear of any special characters in you reminder text.

Bash script to create a header for Bash scripts (Bash)

2011-11-02T01:57:07-07:00

Bash recipe 577862 by userend (auto, bash, create, emacs, gpl, header, linux, script, shell, vim). Revision 3.

This will create a header for a Bash script. It is a nice way keep a track of what your script does and when it was created, the author of the script, etc..

It will open the script automatically with one of the two most popular editor out there, Vim or Emacs! It also checks to see if there is a script with the same name in the current working directory so it will not overwrite another file.

v0.4: I had to kick this up a notch. I took the suggestion of "dev h" to add a chance for the user to select another name for the script.

Please leave comments and suggestions.

Bash Script For An Oscilloscope... (Bash)

2013-06-19T19:06:50-07:00

Bash recipe 578570 by Barry Walker (anim, audio, audioscope, bash, oscilloscope, scope, script, sound_exchange, sox, terminal).

This code is the latest as of 19-06-2013. It is an AudioScope designed around a Macbook Pro 13" of which only has ONE microphone input. It works under Linux variants too. Read the code for much more info.

It was my way of learning Bash scripting.

It is resident here at this site:-

http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/212939-start-simple-audio-scope-shell-script.html

It started off as a fun idea and is now becoming a very serious project.

As it stands this is fully working but it is uncalibrated and this is where it will stay on this site.

As the above site is the host then all future uploads will be there...

To do list...

DC input. [1] DC polarity. [1] 2 more Internal sync modes. External triggering. Zoom facility - if possible in text mode. Vertical calibration. [2] Frequency measurement. {3] (Others.)

[1] I have simple HW built as an idea but yet to prove it... [2] Preliminary HW built but not yet used. Calibration SW and circuit(s) to be built into script as it progresses. [3] I already have a working script but not completely satisfied at it at this point...

I am noing to say much else except that it has already been given a 5 star rating on the above UNIX site...

As it stands this code is entirely Public Domian and you may do with it as you please...

Enjoy something completely different using Bash scripting...

Finally the code defaults to a DEMO mode which requires no HW access at all but everything is still functional...

__Thoroughly__ read the code for more information...

As a circuit is inside the script then it is best viewed in plan text mode.

A Building Block, Bash Binary File Manipulation... (Bash)

2013-01-29T22:07:57-08:00

Bash recipe 578441 by Barry Walker (apple, bash, binary, linux, macbook_pro, script, shell). Revision 2.

Apologies for any typos, and IF this has been done before...

The code generates a 256 byte binary file of _characters_ 0x00 to 0xFF for general usage and generates another binary file manipulated in a basic way.

The for loops in the code are purely for DEMO purposes only.

This is Public Domain and you may do with it as you please. I have uploaded it elsewhere too...

Watch for wordwrapping, etc and read the code for more information...
