...wildcards to allow inserting matched strings like Windows 'copy *.old =.new' Some examples: # Rename current files as old doall 'mv *.cur *.old' # Compress camcorder DV files doall 'ffmpeg -i *.dv *.mp4' # Move files into directories according to their extension doall 'mv *.* $2/$1.$2' # Symbolic links from vmlinuz.new to vmlinuz-5.12.6-foo, similarly config.new System.map.new doall 'ln -s /boot/*-5.12.6-* /boot/$1.new' # Hard link 3-character abbreviations for file extensions doall 'ln *.???* $1.$2' As shown above, instead of '=' to indicate insertions, doall uses either * or $1 etc. doall -p (pretend mode) shows a list of commands instead of executing them doall -i (interactive mode) asks for confirmation for each command in turn doall -k (keep-running mode) ignores failing commands

This project will contains some shell scripts to use as libraries in other scripts. Most of the functions provided are shortcuts with names understandable by non informatician (at least not hard core coder).
