Description of example script programs
	(some may be quite useful to reuse in whole or in part, others
	are examples of (more-or-less) throw-away scripts used to solve
	specific short-term problems or accomplish particular needed
	tasks of the week/day/hour/moment, and may not necessarily have
	so high a reusability factor)

README.txt
	this file

chkargs
	report on arguments and without any potential interpretation by
	echo (useful example of eval and <<-)

dingding
	ring bell repeatedly, optionally specifying seconds (default of
	1) between each ring

Fetchmail
	fetchmail and Fetchyahoo

Fetchyahoo
	fetchyahoo possibly using multiple configuration files

htmlquote
	quote some text such that it can be placed within an HTML comment

htmlunquote
	undo effect of htmlquote

ipv4sort
	Take IPv4 addresses in dotted quad notation, and sort them in IP
	order (numerically by each quad)

Last-Modified_touch
	Utility for setting mtime based upon Last-Modified header data,
	e.g. handy for use with curl -I --silent for existing downloaded
	files to set mtimes to match a source location.
	takes input line(s) of form:
	^(Last-Modified: )?Dow, DD Mmm YYYY HH:HH:SS GMT file ...$
	if file(s) are given, set mtime to that given
	if file(s) don't exist, create them

many_volumes
	construct a large number of volumes based on a concise
	specification list of disk group, volume size, quantity, disk
	(LUN), and (optionally) starting sequence offset; example from
	Digital UNIX 4.0F LSM (rather/quite similar to Sun and Veritas
	Volume Manager - except the names of most all the commands
	change slightly)

mdtmtouch
	touch(1) files based on MDTM obtained via ftp(1)

myX
	some X initialization - though this could be run as a script,
	I'd typically have it read in (.) and executed by the shell in
	the X xterm "controlling" program (so it would get the job
	control of the backgrounded processes)

rsync_host2dir
	Does a somewhat specialized rsync over ssh based backup.  Takes
	2 arguments, host and (local) target directory.  It then uses
	ssh to contact remote host, determines filesystems to be backed
	up based on certain type and mount point include/exclude
	conditions, then backs them up with rsync over ssh, also
	filtering out some unwanted portions.  It also handles
	reinvocation as superuser via sudo using invoking user's ssh
	keys available from ssh-agent.

shrink2fs
	shrink ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem and LVM device
	takes single argument of ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem device
	automagically handles:
	unmounts it if it's mounted
	shrinks the filesystem to the the size of the smallest number of
	LVM PEs that can contain the shrunk filesystem
	reduces the LV to that size
	handles fsck if needed

Strace
	invoke strace with certain options set

vical
	open up a vi session on "$HOME"/calendar starting at the first
	matched of a few possible date based patterns (or if none are
	matched, simply start a vi session on "$HOME"/calendar)

viewinfo
	open up a vi read-only (-R) session on a set of processed output
	from the info(1) command

viewman
	open up a vi read-only (-R) session on processed output from the
	man command

wake_up
	send some text pages at certain times to certain folks as a
	'wakup call'

xtermtitle
	set title of xterm and some terminal types with sufficiently
	similar capabilities
