Cross-platform utilities for computer maintenance
Project description
Python-bash-matlab-octave-utils
Collection of Bash and Python scripts I've made that may be generally useful
| function | description |
|---|---|
| checkIP | Sends you an email automatically if your IP address changes |
| getIP | gets your public IP address (not the internal NAT address) |
| findtext | find text inside files matching pattern. |
| mx | mount network share example using SSHFS |
| memfree | Estimates available RAM |
| cmake_setup.sh | setup latest CMake from source (without sudo) |
Prereq
apt install sshfs g++ libncurses-dev make
Install
python -m pip install -e .
Usage
SSHFS mount/unmount
-
Mounting the "U" network drive at Boston University over SSHFS (slight modifications to the script allow using this anywhere)
one time setup:
mkdir ~/U -
mount U drive to your PC, like "mounting a network drive" in Windows, here we assume the BU username is
jdoe:mU jdoe
and your network drive is available as ~/U
-
Unmounting the "U" drive. When done for the day, suggest unmounting in case to help mitigate security risks:
uU
Note: if you have any files open (like say a spreadsheet on the ~/U
drive), ~/U will stay connected until you close that file(s).
