Linux

Here you will find some Bash scripts (GNU/Linux) I made to automate simple tasks.
In each zip file you will find a bash script (with the execute bit disabled and with some variables that need to be configured for the script to work): they are generally heavily commented though, so hopefully self-explanatory.
Make sure to TEST these scripts in a safe environment (e.g. in a virtualized Linux installation) before deploying them in your system!
Do NOT execute any script before having read and understood it!
Finally, some of these scripts require root permissions to run.

Note that, despite my best efforts, there could be some errors in the software or other resources and the reader is encouraged to do his/her own research before using the scripts provided below.
Should you find any error or mistake, please drop me a line using the contacts form.
