Shell script

Shell scripts are the Unix way to automate and batch process things. There exist many different shells like sh, bash, tcsh, korn csh etc. I prefere bash that comes standard in both Mac OS X, Debian GNU/Linux and most other Linux distributions

Here are a collection of bash scripts that I, Fredrik Jonsson, have made or modified.

• Computer backup (Mac OS X)
• Firewall script (FreeBSD and Mac OS X)
• Download archives script
• Delete .DS_Store script (Linux/Mac OS X)
• Find the pid script (Mac OS X)
