Check all vim colorschemes for minor issues

Here is script that checks all the colorschemes in the current directory and corrects them if possible (Processing of the file is done with simple commands like sed, grep)

Checks that the color_name is same as Filename

Here is the script:

#!/bin/bash -

#          FILE: check_colors.sh
#
#         USAGE: ./check_colors.sh

cd ~/.vim/colors
for i in *vim
do
    #echo "Processing $i"
    if [[ $(grep -c g:colors_name $i ) -eq 0 ]]; then
        if [[ $(grep -c colors_name $i ) -eq 0 ]]; then
            echo "File $i does not have colorname";
            missing=$missing" $i"
        else
            sed -i.bak '/colors_name/ s/.*/let g:colors_name="'${i//.vim}'"/g' $i
        fi
    else
        if [[ $(grep -c colors_name $i|grep let ) -gt 1 ]]; then
            echo "WARN ----->> File $i has more than one colorsname"
        fi
        colorname=$(grep g:colors_name $i|grep let| sed -e 's/"//g' -e 's/.*=//' |tr -d ' ')
        if [[ ${colorname}.vim != $i ]]; then
            echo "Filename $i does not match colorname $colorname .. correcting "
            sed -i.bak '/colors_name/ s/.*/let g:colors_name="'${i//.vim}'"/g' $i
            #sed -i.bak 's/(.*g:colors_name.*=)/1'${i//.vim}'/g' $i
        fi
    fi

    echo "Missing colornames in $missing"

Home grown mail scheduler with bash script and cron

If you are using Linux (Fedora/Ubuntu or anything else) then you do get a lot of tools and one of them is cron. Very very useful. Just write some script that can do the task for you, put it in cron and forget it. So, here is a home grown way to schedule mails.

First, copy this script below:

#!/bin/bash -
#===============================================================================
#
#          FILE: sched_mail.sh
#
#         USAGE: ./sched_mail.sh
#
#   DESCRIPTION:
#
#       OPTIONS: ---
#  REQUIREMENTS: ---
#          BUGS: ---
#         NOTES: ---
#        AUTHOR: Amit Agarwal (aka),

mailfile="~/mail"
if [[ $(wc -l $mailfile|awk '{print $1}' ) -ge 5 ]]
then
    to=$(grep ^To: $mailfile|sed 's/To: //')
    echo "Good to send mail... to = $to"
    sendmail -t <$mailfile
    echo "once mail is send, delete the contents of file"
    echo "sed -i '4,$ d' $mailfile"
fi

Now, create a file called mail in your home directory, with the following contents:

force recheck on reboot – fsck

If you want to force a fsck re-check on reboot, then just

touch /forcefsck

find more information on ext2/3/4 filesystem

In my previous post on check filesystem regurlarly, I mentioned tune2fs. That tool give quite a lot of information. But just in case, you did not find what you are looking for in the output, then you can get much more information on these partitions with the dumpe2fs command.

findmnt – find all the mounts and their source

If you are looking for the source of a mount and the various options used in the mount, then the quickest way to get that is ::

findmnt

By default, with no parameters, it lists all the mounts in a tree like view and all the options used to mount the path. It also lists the source of the mount.

By default again, it uses some capabilities of the terminal to show the tree which you can disable with the option “-a”.

Find directory/file with inode number

Couple of days back, I was getting the following error:

Directory inode 2362521 has an unallocated block #245823.  Allocate?

And this continued for hours together and I was in a hurry. Did not really care about the error and all I wanted was to get rid of the error but for that I needed to get to the file/directory with inode number  mentioned in the error and finally “find” command came to rescue:
