.bashrc Stuff
Might as well share some .bashrc additions I like to use. First up a simple function to extract most compressed files.
function extract {
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
# display usage if no parameters given
echo "Usage: extract <path/file_name>.<zip|rar|bz2|gz|tar|tbz2|tgz|Z|7z|xz|ex|tar.bz2|tar.gz|tar.xz>"
else
if [ -f $1 ] ; then
# NAME=${1%.*}
# mkdir $NAME && cd $NAME
case $1 in
*.tar.bz2) tar xvjf ../$1 ;;
*.tar.gz) tar xvzf ../$1 ;;
*.tar.xz) tar xvJf ../$1 ;;
*.lzma) unlzma ../$1 ;;
*.bz2) bunzip2 ../$1 ;;
*.rar) unrar x -ad ../$1 ;;
*.gz) gunzip ../$1 ;;
*.tar) tar xvf ../$1 ;;
*.tbz2) tar xvjf ../$1 ;;
*.tgz) tar xvzf ../$1 ;;
*.zip) unzip ../$1 ;;
*.Z) uncompress ../$1 ;;
*.7z) 7z x ../$1 ;;
*.xz) unxz ../$1 ;;
*.exe) cabextract ../$1 ;;
*) echo "extract: '$1' - unknown archive method" ;;
esac
else
echo "$1 - file does not exist"
fi
fi
}
Also here is a simple way to check if a user is root, and if the user is not call something. I used it add sudo to apt-get and apt when the user is not a root.
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]] ; then
alias apt-get='sudo apt-get'
alias apt='sudo apt'
fi
If I start doing alot of code or script posting I might add some highlighting system to this.
