-===== Unix Scripts =====
+===== Unixscripts:intro =====
-I use these scripts every day, they might be useful to others. They might even be useful templates for how to write a [[DecentBash | decent bash script]]!! You can download them individually by clicking on the links or you can download this {{scripts.tgz | tarball}} to get them all. Install them somewhere on your path - I use ''~/bin''. All my scripts honour the //-h//, //--help// options.
