Haha, that's fine, probably better, because I spend a little too much time thinking about how I could be doing my everyday scripting more efficiently. I'm crazy enough to make an alias for ping -c 5 8.8.8.8 just so I don't have to type it out every time.
Cool! I think I've seen that spawn function before - normally I just disable all output and make it a daemon. There's still a little output from the daemon, but I can still kill it if I want.
There's a lot of interesting sort functions there, too. Nice!
Updated for the month of november, gone are my days of power line(yay).

Update to mine, I added a couple of functions to manage daemons.
dae () {
chmod +x $1 # just in case it's not already executable (careful)
daeout=$2

setsid $1 >$daeout 2>&1 < /dev/null &

kill $daeproc
echo "agent $daeproc out of service."

I'm also working on something that saves specific files to a server and I can call sync to get up to date for my different computers. I haven't gotten it working yet, though.
Haha, I remember when I first started using Linux I was so confused why it didn't say anything when I changed directories. Now I guess I'm so used to it I don't even think about that anymore. That's useful, thanks.
I never did and still dont really muck around much with my bashrc's (i'm lazy and shit at scripting). but i did start on this to make dealing with different files through the terminal a bit more fluid.
# Fuck my life
open () {
if [ -f $1 ] ; then
case $1 in
*.txt) leafpad $1 ;;
*.mp3) mocp $1 ;;
*.png) ristretto $1 ;;

P.S i'm the biggest scripting noob. so if you have any hints or tips(you are the CS major here) it would be gratefully accepted .
I just enjoy mucking around with bash scripts and i thought it would be something i could do to try some new idea's. i have never read any guides on learning about bash scripting so i usually just sit down with a beer and make this shit up as i go along. entertainment at its best eh?
I was procrastinating on my paper, so I wrote a base conversion function. Surprisingly fun!
# convert value $1 from base $2 to base $3 (default 10)
convertbase () {
# Who needs two assoc arrays when you can be clever? Also, makes it easier to add more
terminlist=(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O)
# warning: if expanding with lowercase letters, you should change the third line below
# to deprecate dynamic case binding: "${1^^}" to "$1"
termoutlist () {
for each in ${!terminlist[@]} ; do
if [[ "${terminlist[$each]}" == "${1^^}" ]] ; then
echo $each
return
fi
done
}
# only convert from base10 if user says it is not in base10
val=0
if [[ $2 != 10 ]] ; then
# basically, uh, sum all (column * (base)^(nth from right starting at 0))
# ex: 1101 (in base 2) = 1*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 0+2^1 + 1*2^0 = 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 13
for i in $(seq 0 $((${#1}-1))) ; do
let val+=$(($(termoutlist ${1:i:1})*$(($2**$((${#1}-$(($i+1))))))))
done
else
val=$1
fi
# private recursive function to convert val to base$2
# (seems like the easiest way to do it)
tobase () {
if [[ $1 -lt $2 ]] ; then
echo ${terminlist[$1]}
else
echo "$(tobase $((${1}/${2})) $2)${terminlist[$((${1}%${2}))]}"
fi
}
if [[ $# -ge 3 && $3 != 10 ]] ; then
echo $(tobase $val $3)
else
echo $val
fi
}
