  • Note: Text intended for Linux users, if you don’t know what Linux or Bash Script is – save yourself time and skip reading the text.
  • After years of experience with the Linux operating system, operations that are repeated on a daily basis have become crystal clear.
  • Automation of everyday processes not only makes the work process easier and faster, but also gives you more time for “Good Morning” coffee.

An easy Script for “Good Morning”

One of the operations that is done daily is updating the system. The terminal is launched with a keyboard shortcut

Ctrl + Alt + T

Updating via terminal is done with the command:

sudo apt-get update

This is followed by “Enter”, typing the administrator password, followed by another “Enter” to enter the password. When the updates are listed, their installation is done with the command:

sudo apt-get upgrade

After another “Enter” the system will display how much is available for upgrade and possibly how much needs to be removed with the “sudo apt-get autoremove” command.

Useful things on a daily basis include displaying small things such as the day, date, workstation name, available memory, and hard disk space. After years of repeating the same operations on a daily basis, a single script on the “three in one” principle solves the daily routine.

First, in the opened terminal, create and name a document for “Good Morning”:

touch good_morning

We edit the document with:

nano good_morning

The first line is of course the Bash Script tag:

!/bin/bash

The next two lines of the script are reserved for system updates:

sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get upgrade

Finally, we move on to useful information about the system itself:

clear # here we delete previously displayed messages on the screen

echo “Hello, $LOGNAME, welcome to the system!” # the system wishes us a “welcome”

echo “You are in the folder:pwd” # view the working directory

echo “The workstation you are working on is called:uname -n“

echo “The following documents are in the directory: “

ls

echo “The available hard disk memory is: “

df

echo “Goodbye for now, $LOGNAME! The time is correctdate +%T“

We finish working in the text editor with:

Ctrl + X

We save the changes with:

Y [ Enter ]

Now we just need to make an executable file from a regular document, which we do with:

chmod +x good_morning

Now we just need to move the executable file for “Good Morning” to the folder where the Alias ​​files are packaged:

sudo cp -v good_morning /bin/

Finally, now we will be able to perform routine everyday operations every time by simply typing into the terminal:

good_morning
