NOTE: None of this software comes with any guarantee or warranty whatsoever neither stated nor implied nor anything. It may or may not fulfill it's purpose, and I'm not responsible for any harm that may come from it's use. It is provided as is.
FURTHER NOTE: don't run these scripts are root, unless they require it. Said script will complain if you are not root. If it don't complain, then you don't need to be root.
Also, I'm not a professional bash scripter, but if you are, please forgive my insolence in releasing such nonsense and calling it script. I'm not too good, but these scripts do come in handy. Feel free to e-mail me if you have an improvement or see a bug.
The universal slack updater is back! It's a script that can be used to update (theoretically) any slackware-based system. It has been completely revised, but is still experimental, please report bugs. Thanks goes to Lufbery at the LQ forums for coming up with the idea for this script, and the original script. Here it is:
A mixed bag of possibly useful scripts, possibly dangerous, possibly useless, but I wrote them and here they are:
A set of defragmentation scripts that uses filefrag and cp, mv to reduce file fragmentation on any filesystem supported by filefrag:
WARNING: Do NOT include the /boot directory in the search if you use lilo. If the kernel is moved, lilo will no longer find it on boot, unless you run lilo after moving it. This is now the default behavior for the script, it will not move anything it /boot.
A set of thumbnail scripts for ROX-Filer. These include scripts that support pdf, djvu, image (including ones not supported by ROX-Filer's default image thumbnailer), and video (using mplayer). All of these require ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick plus the respective decoding tools (pdftoppm, ddjvu, imagemagick, mplayer).
Script wrappers that compress and extract archives using 7z (p7zip) and Xdialog. They are mostly meant to replace the Archive program that is part of ROX.
