Encoding videos in linux can be a pain, expecially when you have 30 min eps, 8 to a disk. No more (for me at least 😀) Above is my great script to allow me to quickly rip videos off the disk.

So go ahead, show off you awesome scripting skills (this is one of my first shell scripts btw)

P.S. This may belong in the programming forum, but I figured it was really closer to *nix stuff then actual programming.

Now, for those of us who aren't fluent, how about documenting and remarking the script so we know what each step does, and why.

quick tip, if you want to sent a sequence of numbers into input, just use

seq 1 8

as opposed to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

You guys wouldn't happen to have a script for backups would you? I want to run a backup script for my linux boxes at logoff or shutdown. I'm googling but am not really finding much. (my google skills are terrible)

 

[Crusty]

What do you want to backup? A home directory? A database? The entire OS?

 

[rasczak]

my home directory. I've already got a base image ghosted, but I would like to have regular backups of /home/"all users" to store on a network share.

little do you realize that you'll be forced to make a small trivial change when your show hits season 2!!

muahahahahaha.

rasczak:have you tried
tar czf /network_share/`date +%Y%m%d`.tgz /home

Those be backticks around date.

I, I, I don't know if I can handle that 😛

If the share is on a another linux box, take a look at dirvish.
dirvish
It will do incremental backups of whatever, on a schedule. It is easy to get back to any version of a file it has saved. It utilizes rsync over ssh to do the dirty work.

Why do I have this ominous feeling?

hehe thanks, I'll try to see if that works.

Skyking, thanks, for the link. I'll take a look at that as well.
