Avoid switching between Clojure and bash scripts. Enjoy your parens on the command line. Leveraging GraalVM native-image and the Small Clojure Interpreter, babashka is a self-contained and instantly starting scripting environment. Babashka comes with scripting batteries included: tools.cli, cheshire, babashka.fs, babashka.process, java.time and many more libraries and classes. Babashka scripts work on linux, macOS and Windows. Besides the built-in libraries, babashka is able to load libraries from source, tapping into the world of already existing Clojure libraries. Babashka supports real JVM threads and like Clojure, supports futures and dynamic thread-locally bound vars. Babashka features a built-in task runner which covers the most popular use cases of make, just and npm scripts. Babashka can shell out to other CLI programs like you are used to in bash. It goes one step further and offers seamless integration with other binaries using the pod protocol.

Finally, a command line shell for the 90s. fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for Linux, macOS, and the rest of the family. fish suggests commands as you type based on history and completions, just like a web browser. Watch out, Netscape Navigator 4.0! fish supports 24 bit true color, the state of the art in terminal technology. Behold the monospaced rainbow. fish is fully scriptable, and its syntax is simple, clean, and consistent. You'll never write esac again. For those lucky few with a graphical computer, you can set your colors and view functions, variables, and history all from a web page. Other shells support programmable completions, but only fish generates them automatically by parsing your installed man pages. fish will delight you with features like tab completions and syntax highlighting that just work, with nothing new to learn or configure.

Minimal Linux Live is a tiny educational Linux distribution, which is designed to be built from scratch by using a collection of automated shell scripts. Minimal Linux Live offers a core environment with just the Linux kernel, GNU C library and Busybox userland utilities. Additional software can be included in the ISO image at build time by using a well-documented configuration file. Minimal Linux Live can be downloaded as a pre-built image, built from scratch or run in a web browser by using a JavaScript PC emulator.

Lightweight workspace manager for the shell. Desk makes it easy to flip back and forth between different project contexts in your favorite shell. Change directory, activate a virtualenv or rvm, load in domain-specific aliases, environment variables, functions, arbitrary shell files, all in a single command. Instead of relying on CTRL-R to execute and recall ("that command's gotta be here somewhere..."), desk helps shorten and document those actions with shell aliases and functions, which are then namespaced under a particular desk. Because Deskfiles are just enriched shell scripts, the possibilities are endless. For example, when doing work on AWS I have desk securely load AWS API keys into environment variables via pass -- no effort on my part, and no risk of accidentally persisting that sensitive information to a history file.

Mussh is a shell script that allows you to execute a command or script over ssh on multiple hosts with one command. When possible mussh will use ssh-agent and RSA/DSA keys to minimize the need to enter your password more than once.

Does a complete cross-build using seven very small shell files and a hundred source tarballs. The tool is very simple to read and simple to customize. The tool has only one or two configuration variables. I believe this project can be as powerful as build-X.sh; the amazing shell program that builds an X Server. The tool needs to be extended and simplified: It needs input and feedback from additional people willing to check it out and help/comment if possible. The programming's lower-bound (the simplest it can get) is to catenate all seven shell programs into one; the programme's upper bound (the most complicated I want to make it) is to do the list function ( ./exe.sh -l) in colour. The programs are in view-order, that is to say, the order they should be read in. So read the programs and maybe try them out!! Dru

Mainly this project aims at easing startup and use of XCSoar (see xcsoar.org) on Kobo Mini. But the scope of use should not be limited solely to XCSoar. The Launcher should be small in code size, reuse most of the original libraries, provide flexible configuration to any application that might be ported to the Kobo Mini. It supports customizable fonts, toolbox-pages, buttons (also graphical), labels, autostart and sleep timers.

Please download the above zip file and extract it to a secret folder and run the quiz.sh script from that folder in your terminal program, as shown in the youtube videos : https://youtu.be/kQi0XlIaT9M and https://youtu.be/prwKN5DiFp0 You may change the contents of the quiz.txt file to your liking, while maintaining the format of it. Note: Press Enter/Return key after typing on your Terminal, to proceed to the next step, while testing the quiz.sh script. Also, increase the terminal font size to the desired level, before using the script, to view in bigger mode. Google search for linux / cygwin / mac terminal font size to know more about it. LATEST UPDATE : The quiz.sh script is updated now to perform for the whole class of students and log the results into the Students_Score.txt file. Also see this collection of bash scripts : https://sourceforge.net/projects/bash-shell-scripting-in-minute/ and this script : https://sourceforge.net/projects/command-output-to-html-table/
