Free scripts software for linux

Font::Scripts::AP is a Perl module for memory representation of a TTFBuilder Attachment Point database (APDB).

SYNOPSIS

use Font::Scripts::AP;
$ap = Font::Scripts::AP->read_font($ttf_file, $ap_file, %opts);
$ap->make_classes();

INSTANCE VARIABLES

cmap

Reference to the Microsoft cmap within the font.

font

Reference to a font structure. read_font will cause at least the post, cmap, loca, and name tables to be read in.

glyphs

An array of references to glyph data structures, indexed by glyphID. Stucture elements are:

uni

Unicode scalar value, if any, as specified in the APDB. (decimal integer)

gnum

Actual glyph ID from font.

post

Actual Postscript name from font.

Note: The uni, gnum and post values are based on the UID, GID, and PSName fields of the APDB. If there are descrepancies between the APDB and the fonts internal tables, then for calcuating the above three values, priority is given first to UID field, then PSName field, and finally GID.

glyph

Reference to glyph structure read from font.

line

Line number in APDB where glyph is defined.

points

A hash of references to attachment point structures for this glyph, keyed by attachment point type (aka name). Each AP structure contains

name

The name (type in TTFBuilder terminology) of the attachment point

x, y

X and Y coordinates for the attachment point

line

Line number in APDB where this point is defined.

components

Present if the glyph is a composite. Is a reference to an array of component structures. Each component structure includes:

bbox

comma separated list of bounding box coordinates, i.e., x1, y1, x2, y2

uni

Unicode scalar value, if any, of the component. (decimal integer)

Note: The following instance variables contain the actual text read from the APDB. If there are descrepancies between the APDB and the font, these values may differ from corresponding values given above. Therefore these values should not be used except for diagnostic purposes.

UID

Unicode scalar value, if any, as specified in the APDB. (string of hex digits)

PSName

Postscript name, if any, as specified in the APDB

GID

Glyph id, if any, as specified in the APDB

classes

Created by "make_classes", this is a hash keyed by class name returning an array of GIDs for glyphs that are in the class. Classes are identified by extensions (part after a .) on the post name of each glyph. For each such extension, two classes are defined. The first is the class of all glyphs that have that extension (class name is the extension). The second is the class of nominal glyphs corresponding to the glyphs with that extension (class name is the extension but with the prefix no_).

lists

Created by "make_classes", this is a hash keyed by attachment point name (as modified by "make_point") returning an array of GIDs for glyphs that have the given attachment point.

vecs

If defined, this variable will be updated by "make_classes". It is a hash, keyed by attachment point name (as modified by "make_point") returning a bit vec bit array, indexed by GID, each bit set to 1 if the corresponding glyph has the given attachment point.

ligclasses

Optionally created by make_classes if ligatures are requested and they exist. The base forms class is no_code while the ligatures are held in code.

WARNINGS

If -errorfh not set, this accumulates any warning or error messages encountered.

WARNINGS

Count of number fo warnings or errors encountered.

Rains PPP scripts are a set of tools that simplify the use and setup of pppd.
Features include connection time logging, a ppp-off that works right with more than one pppd running, dial-on-demand support for pppd 2.3.x., and more.
Another interesting feature is that the scripts keep track of your connect speed and time, and included is an mirc script to show connection status from a remote machine, as well as a shell script that works for *IX boxes.
Enhancements:
- Made TTL for dyn.db 60 seconds
- --bootup should have been --quiet in ppp-on
- Fixed POSTLOGINSTRING
- Now using low-ascii in the README and ppp-on
- Re-fixed permission problems on /etc/inet.status (I hope)
- Fixed more spelling/grammar

MusicTree is a small collection of Python scripts that helps you manage a large collection of music files. The project was designed to work with Unix systems (tested only on SuSE Linux), but may also work on Windows. For normal use you also need Vorbis Tools* and rsync.
The scripts help you:
- Maintain a central collection of high-quality (typically FLAC) files.
- Backup this collection on a second disk/machine.
- Generate a parallel collection of lower-quality (but much smaller) compressed (typically Ogg) files.
- Select an arbitrary subset of the compressed files (a "playlist").
- Upload the playlist to a second machine.
The scripts do not assume any particular directory layout (except that the music files live under a single root directory - that is not really a restriction since you can always use a separate directory and links to tie various directories together). Nor do you have to use a particular format (by default the scripts assume archive files are FLAC and the compressed files are Ogg encoded, but you can operate on different formats by changing the relevant commands in the configuration file).
However, the scripts do assume a that you have a basic understanding of how to use Unix. There is no installer or GUI - you run these from the command line and combine them with other command line tools (like find and xargs).
Directories and Machines
This documentation will talk about two different computers: "server" and "client". The "server" is typically a desktop machine with a large disk (or set of disks). This machine stores the high-quality "archive" of your music - all the files, with no (lossy) compression. It may also store a backup copy on a separate disk.
The "client" is typically a laptop or portable music player with a smaller capacity. Because it has restricted space you load it with a selection of (lossy) compressed files.
Separating server and client allows you to keep a safe, "perfect quality" archive where space is available, but also listen to more songs on portable devices with restricted resources.
The scripts expect these directories on the server:
Archive
This is where the complete, high-quality collection of music is stored. For example, this might be where your CD ripping software places files (I use kAudioCreator with the default settings).
Compress
A mirror of the Archive directory with lower-quality files. This is generated from the Archive directory by running the mt-encode script.
Select
A subset of the Compress directory, containging a "playlist" that will be copied to the client.
Backup
An optional second copy of the Archive (typically on a separate disk).
Installation and Configuration:
There is no automatic install. Instead, copy the files to a suitable directory and extend your PATH to include them.
For example, to put the files in the new directory ~/musictree (assuming you use the bash shell):
> cd
> tar xvfz musictree.tgz
> export PATH="$PATH:~/musictree"
Youll want to redefine PATH in your .bashrc or equivalent.
You also need to edit the example configuration file (musictree in the distribution) and (usually) copy it to ~/.musictree.
Suggestions for how to use the various scripts (eg. running mt-encode via cron) are in the following sections.
Enhancements:
- Volume normalization is now supported either via metadata, or by directly scaling the compressed files.

Destiney Scripts Topsites project provides a pre-built, dynamically generated, traffic gathering topsite.

Destiney Scripts Topsites is a script for creating a dynamically-generated, traffic gathering "topsite", a competition traffic site on which members compete for placement on the list based on the traffic referrals they send.

It features http-referrer- and cookie-based anti-cheat devices, an admin interface, gateway-less entry, and random site selection.

Truecrypt mount/unmount scripts contains two .sh files for mounting and unmounting truecrypt partitions with some dialogues. When mounting a password is asked and when unmounting both normal and forced mounting is supported, asking the user what to do in each stage. These are very simple scripts, but I decided to share them with the world, as I couldnt find them myself.
USAGE
Create two desktop icons which link to the scripts and give as parameters the source and the destination for the TrueCrypt partition. Now clicking the icons allow you to mount and unmount your partitions via dialogues. Very simple, but also useful. Remember to make the scripts executable. If you only have one TrueCrypt partition, you might want to write the source and destination into the script instead of giving them as parameters.
The idea for these scripts came from http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_EncFS and especially Kevin Wennemuth who wrote the scripts there, so thanks to him!
Enhancements:
- Opening KDE Wallet fixed, script did not always open kdewallet and never closed it.
- Kwallet script (needed parts) integrated into mount script.
- Some minor cosmetic changes.

slakbootIBS (Slackware Interactive Boot Scripts) is an enhanced set of replacement boot scripts for the Slackware Linux distribution.

Slackware Interactive Boot Scripts includes a set of control and dispatch tools for configuring and booting with colorized interactive scripts. The new boot process allows the operator to select or skip start-up components in realtime.

It facilitates debugging of startup problems and allows operators to maintain a common baseline to support several local configurations or multiple servers with a single set of scripts.
