This is my script i call 'mybin'
what does it do?
example:
I mainly use muppy 084c. I do alot of tinkering and testing for personal learning. This often means I mess something up along the way so I use live sessions with a setup script I made.
such as I have a packages I've made for installing needed items with out having to remake my pup_XXX.sfs. like my ipw2200patched drivers to set it in monitor mode,lcd brightness, wifi connections, different conky configs, wallpaper, etc...does matter, used right, live or saved I feel @home!
take a look and let me know, this is just something I personally use and will continue to add new elements, I alreadyhave ideas but won't say until I get them working.
... and it's colored for visual confirmation successful green, warning red
as configured mybin will
copy itself to /usr/sbin. you can configure it to symlink
create a path to /root/mybin
symlinks /root/mybin to the directory you executed mybin from (like on your usb).
if it is run from another directory after installed, it wil warn you and need confirmation to change the symlink.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#mybin
##This script will create a symlink to the running directory
#
# if you run like to run puppy from a usb install this is great
# for having a sort of permanent bin directory working on a live
# or saved session.
#
# if a symbolic link exist already, it will check if to see if the
# current directory is already set as $HOME/mybin, if not, it will
# warn you, show the target for $HOME/mybin and require user input
# of "y" or "n" to continue.
