Free script writing software for linux

Script Promotion Wizard is a free online tool you can add to your web site or use on your local server to add your script to script directories.
Since an automated solution to script promotion is probably impossible due to the lack of a standard submission process for script directories, we came up with what we think is the next best thing.
Main features:
- Easy to install. Just unzip and upload, or if youre using it on a local server, just unzip!
- Save program profiles for later use.
- Completely customizable! Add new scripts to promote through simple XML interface.
- Add new script directories to the Script Promotion Wizard by adding a simple entry into an XML file.
- Copying and pasting values into the online forms is as easy as we could possibly make it. You only have to click, copy, click and paste. No messy highlighting required.
- Best of all, Script Promotion Wizard is completely free!

News Script allows you to write articles for your website. News Script features a WYSIWYG editor which makes writing an article easy and it supports search engine friendly URLs.
Main features:
- Write, edit and delete text articles
- Use the built-in WYSIWYG editor for formatting
- Create search engine friendly URLs
- List and search in existing articles
- Completely template driven
- Installation routine
How the script works
As the admin you can write new articles and list, edit, delete and search in existing ones.
News script features a WYSIWYG editor that gives you full control over the format of an article. JavaScript is required, though. The script allows you to choose an article date and the date when the article is to be published.
The title of an article appears as part of the URL which is good for search engine optimization. In case your server supports mod_rewrite the article URL looks like a normal URL of an HTML page.
On the front end the visitor will be provided with a list of published articles. As admin you can set the number of articles per page which results in several result pages which can be browsed by the visitor.

smsjoker-script is a script to send SMS over the SMS-Script-Gateway of http://www.smsjoker.de/
I use it to send SMS out of kaddressbook in KDE 3.5.x with:
smsjoker-script "%N" "%F"
An other interesting usage is to send an text (like "Merry Christmas and a happy new Year") to every number in an textfile.
Usage: /Path/to/the/script/smsjoker [Options] [Destination] [Text]
If you enter [Destination] you must also enter [Text]
[Destination] can be an number or the path to an textfile with numbers on each line
[Text] can be the SMS-Text or the path to an textfile with the SMS-text in it
If you dont give Destination and Text you come to the interactive-mode
Possible Options:
-t [eigen|anonym] eigen shows your own Cellphone-Number as sender not an standard-one
-d Go to Debug-Mode
-p Enforce Popups
Enhancements:
- Important Update: The IP of the smsjokers http-interface will change. You should update to 2.4 now.

Movie2XviD is a script for encoding a DVD or other movie to AVI (XviD).
Auto computing bitrate and hight quality, but it is a little slowly.
Enhancements:
- Add options
- video filter
- help
- new computing bitrate

CGI::XMLApplication is an Object Oriented Interface for CGI Script Applications.

SYNOPSIS

use CGI::XMLApplication;

$script = new CGI::XMLApplication;
$script->setStylesheetPath( "the/path/to/the/stylesheets" );

# either this for simple scripts
$script->run();
# or if you need more control ...
$script->run(%context_hash); # or a context object

CGI::XMLApplication is a CGI application class, that intends to enable perl artists to implement CGIs that make use of XML/XSLT functionality, without taking too much care about specialized errorchecking or even care too much about XML itself. It provides the power of the XML::LibXML/ XML::LibXSLT module package for content deliverment.

As well CGI::XMLApplication is designed to support project management on code level. The class allows to split web applications into several simple parts. Through this most of the code stays simple and easy to maintain. Throughout the whole runtime of a script CGI::XMLApplication tries to keep the application stable. As well a programmer has not to bother about some of XML::LibXML/ XML::LibXSLT transformation pitfalls.

The class module extends the CGI class. While all functionality of the original CGI package is still available, it should be not such a big problem, to port existing scripts to CGI::XMLApplication, although most functions used here are the access function for client data such as param().

CGI::XMLApplication, intended to be an application class should make writing of XML enabled CGI scripts more easy. Especially because of the use of object orientated concepts, this class enables much more transparent implemententations with complex functionality compared to what is possible with standard CGI-scripts.

The main difference with common perl CGI implementation is the fact, that the client-output is not done from perl functions, but generated by an internally build XML DOM that gets processed with an XSLT stylesheet. This fact helps to remove a lot of the HTML related functions from the core code, so a script may be much easier to read, since only application relevant code is visible, while layout related information is left out (commonly in an XSLT file).
This helps to write and test a complete application faster and less layout related. The design can be appended and customized later without effecting the application code anymore.

Since the class uses the OO paradigma, it does not force anybody to implement a real life application with the complete overhead of more or less redundant code. Since most CGI-scripts are waiting for events, which is usually the code abstraction of a click of a submit button or an image, CGI::XMLApplication implements a simple event system, that allows to keep event related code as separated as possible.

Therefore final application class is not ment to have a constructor anymore. All functionality should be encapsulated into implicit or explicit event handlers. Because of a lack in Perls OO implementation the call of a superclass constructor before the current constructor call is not default behavior in Perl. For that reason I decided to have special events to enable the application to initialize correctly, excluding the danger of leaving important variables undefined. Also this forces the programmer to implement scripts more problem orientated, rather than class or content focused.

Another design aspect for CGI::XMLApplication is the strict differentiation between CODE and PRESENTATION. IMHO this, in fact being one of the major problems in traditional CGI programming. To implement this, the XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT modules are used by default but may be replaced easily by any other XML/XSLT capable modules. Each CGI Script should generate an XML-DOM, that can be processed with a given stylesheet.

iTRANS Amarok Script is an amaroK script to get the lyrics of hindi songs using the services provided at http://www.giitaayan.com

Idea is to get the iTRANS encoded lyrics in the ISB files and then convert them into UTF-8 to display in the context window. If more than one hit then give the user an option to select the best hit among them.

SILVERCODERS T-Script is a scripting language which primary purpose is to generate text files.

It can be useful for processing template files based on some additional data retrieved from data sources like sql databases or other text files. T-Script can be easly embedded into your application and work with its internal data.

SILVERCODERS T-Script library is now being intergrated into the LMS project.
