Wrote a #shell function without using ls inside of $( ), so my inner @mirabilos won't harass me. XD

#slightly easier wireguard command
function wg {
    local dir file profile profiledir= parm=${1:-} statustext
    #Find profile dir
    for dir in {,/usr/local}/etc/wireguard; do
        if [[ -d $dir ]]; then
            profiledir=$dir
            break
        fi
    done
    #Find config file
    if [[ -n $profiledir ]]; then
        for file in $profiledir/*.conf; do
            if [[ -e $file ]]; then
                profile=${file//*\/}
                profile=${profile/.conf}
                break
            fi
        done
    fi
    [[ -n $profile ]] || profile=proton
    statustext="wireguard profile $profile"
    case ${parm,,} in
        up|on)      doas wg-quick  up  $profile;;
        down|off)   doas wg-quick down $profile;;
        status)     echo -en "$statustext _______\r"
                    echo -en "$statustext "
                    ifconfig |grep -q "^$profile:" && echo enabled || echo disabled;;
        *)          warn "wg usage: wg up|down|status";;
    esac
}

Hmm, seems ${foo,,} for lower case conversion is #bash-only. I wonder if I should use tr instead.

Since #Codeberg broke my #ShellScript after they did what they did with their stupid website trying to catch bots, I edited the script to remove the downloading piece.

I have to manually download the files I need, but the script still takes care of the rest.

Ah, it seems my Google-foo is strong. I think I found a modified #Automator #ShellScript to not add the line feed.

Any #Automator #ShellScript experts care to help?

I created the following script to copy the first 6 characters of a selected filename to the clipboard. But the clipboard item ends up with a hard return after the characters. Is there a way to put a stop to that?

🤦‍♂️ Ah yes, #Linux is an #interpreter now. Because who needs a perfectly functional kernel when you can make an OS behave like a wannabe shell script interpreter? 👻 Fear not, dear reader, the author promises you an inscrutable command that might just be #malware, but hey, that’s all part of the #fun, right? 🐔

Here's a little puzzle for you. Can you figure out the purpose of this one-off shell script I just wrote?
If you post an answer put it behind a CW so you don't spoil it for others!

Bash Via Transpiler

It is no secret that we often use and abuse bash to write things that ought to be in a different language. But bash does have its attractions. In the modern world, it is practically everywhere. It …
