Responsive image gallery in three lines of bash
Three lines of bash to generate a responsive HTML image gallery — motivated by having to spend way too much time on getting /r/immich and /r/photoprism to do what I wanted them to do... both are awesome projects btw.
>❗️NOTE: on MacOS this requires the GNU flavour of

Invoke bash noscript in remote server
I'm running a noscript from my jump host to copy a noscript to client servers. From that copied noscript will run on the client server and check for a specific agent is installed or not. If not it will install through that noscript. But before installation happen I want to raise a standard change servicenow.
Standard change raising noscript also in the jumphost. That only can be run from the jumphost.
So I want to know how can we invoke standard change raising noscript with parsing some information to that from the client machine,

Dynamic FFmpeg build noscript
This builds the latest stable release version series 6 of FFmpeg with additional codecs included.
This will dynamically find the latest source code for each codec and update them accordingly.
I am slowly working on a GNU version of this noscript that will allow the user to specify a GNU all build so check back over time.
As always I hope some of you guys find this useful.
Cheers

Shell noscript that can add bookmarked directories and cd into them directly (+video)
Hi all. I was getting tired of writing long cd commands to get to specific directories in the terminal. I found there were some programs/tricks for this (like CDPATH) but none of them worked for me. Hence, I made a small shell noscript that can add/delete/navigate bookmarked directories. Thank you!

Anyone handle piping ?
What command line can I use to read an output from piping: "cat this.txt | xargs echo" show me a string with spaces like this "123 156 856 899". But into this.txt have next line.
I need to grab one to one that elements before spaces in the next piping command line using xargs or another commmand line.
Thanks.

Using SORT but ignore "the", "a" and "an"?
As the noscript says...
I have list of noscripts. I want to sort the list, but I don't want all the noscripts starting with "the" bunch together.
I read through the man page hoping to find a way to get SORT to ignore a word, but I ran dry.
Anyone have any ideas?

Script acts differently when called with sh compared to bash
Weird noscript but bear with me.
​
So I have a noscript that fails on machines when called without specifying bash. The noscript ultimately does the below as an example.
​
mynoscript
#!/bin/bash
#
#
#
searchPath=/opt/folder/files/
player < ${searchPath}/music.mp3
When I call the noscript as /bin/mynoscript, i fails with "No such file or directory" and does not appear to expand the \ as a wildcard. If I call it as "bash /bin/mynoscript" it functions correctly and handles the wildcard.
​
Any thoughts on why it fails unless I specify "bash" even though there is a shebang/execute bits?

How to get realtime output from bash
Have a noscript that runs a custom program within bash, the exe takes a while to run, about 5 minutes, but when you run it there are heartbeats printed to let the user know that it is still running, on my bash, those messages appear after the noscript has finished running, also, it seems the buffer is full and not every message gets printed, I tried redirecting to a file but still the output is not "real time"
something like
# !/bin/bash
testexecutable --flag=1 | tee "/tmp/testoutput.txt"
this is on macos, also tried to output to /dev/tty but it says its not configured.

Why does "cat | ls" behave like that?
Hello everyone,
I am doing a project that consists on replicating bash (some of its basic behavior) in C.
I am still on the early stages of the project, analyzing how bash behaves with different inputs.
The point is that I was playing with some basic commands and its combinations through pipe (|) operator, and when I tried "cat | ls" I was kind of expecting just the ouput of ls, but instead got:
bash-4.4$ cat | ls
file1 file2 file3
And it just holds there awaiting for input. Then after just enter it stop the execution with a result of:
bash-4.4$ cat | ls
file1 file2 file3
bash-4.4$
It feel like bash its prioritizing ls over cat, does anyone know what is going on underneath?
Thanks!

Interested in using zsh to run a program that requires bash...
I feel like this would be an easy lift for an experienced linux user but I haven't done more than a few google searches on this yet...
This app requires a settings.sh noscript sourced before you use it, so I cant just alias all the cmds with `bash -c $app`. I need the bash shell env setup by the settings.sh, then I need to be able to have zsh push all cmds starting with that apps name to the shell that has been setup.
I feel like there's got to be a way to have cmds run from zsh that open a bash shell and then specify in .zshrc (with aliases) which cmds get sent to that bash shell...
also, the only reason this particular linux box exists is to run this app, so I don't care if the solution somehow lightly interferes on other use cases...

I have two noscripts I'd like to employ in AWS to update a file as a dynamic IP changes. I found two, but would like to know the differences in them, particularly if they add a new IP to a file and not remove the old one, or if it would overwrite the old one and not leave the ones that it detects have changed.
