Scripts

Scripts on Linux? But of course!

When you ccan do Python, theoretically you don't really have the need to know an OS-level scripting language and on Windows .bat files weren't a serious alternative but all in all I'm glad a can do a little bash.

I've come to use a mix of pure Bash scripts, pure Python scripts and scripts made with a framework (Invoke) which among others mixes Pyhton and Bash easily.

A list of homemade (invoke) scripts I currently have:

• tasks for repository maintenance (scripts and gui)

• tasks for tags (references within a repository)

• tasks for genaral website related stuff

• tasks for language support in applications

• tasks for maintaining databases

• tasks for programming session activities

• tasks for maintaining my "scripts library"

• tasks for managing and configuring various server programs

A subject I also want to name here is building and running unittests
