A small set of tiny bash scripts that can do some work for you on GNU/Linux and macOS
bash berries is a set of tiny bash scripts that can do some work for you if you are a Linux admin or a developer on Linux.
Not only scripts are being provided by this project, but also include files that help you to write our own bash scripts more quickly. All bash berries have been tested on the latest stable Ubuntu LTS and macOS releases. If you don’t set any parameters for a script, a short help will be printed.

Make sure that you have the unzip utility installed and that you can connect to the internet, double check proxy settings if applicable.

bigfiles v1.1.0, Copyright 2017 Johann N. Loefflmann
Determines the biggest files in a directory and it's subdirectories
Usage:
bigfiles [-o] [-g greater] [-n max_files] [path]
Options:
-o print the owners of the biggest files.
-g greater a file is a big file if its file size is greater
than the greater value. You may append
k, M, G and T for kilo, Mega, Giga, and Tera.
If greater is omitted, greater is set to 0.
-n max_files specifies the maximum number of big files.
If max_files is omitted or if max_files is set to 0,
all files will be printed that matches -g.
Parameters:
path specifies the directory to be traversed.
If path is omitted, this help will be printed.
Examples:
bigfiles -g 1M .
all files greater than 1 MB in the current working directory
and below.
bigfiles -o -n 25 -g 1G /
25 biggest files > 1 GB in the root directory and below
including a summary of the owners of those files.
deepgrep v1.0.0, Copyright 2018 Johann N. Loefflmann
Finds text in files recursively.
Usage:
deepgrep [-f file filter] [path] <text>
Options:
-f file filter
Parameters:
path where to search; optional
text what to search
Examples:
deepgrep -f *.mine "Gold"
searches for "Gold" in all .mine files
in the current folder and all subfolders
deepgrep -f *.mine /big/mountain "Gold"
searches for "Gold" in all *.mine files
in the /big/mountain folder and all subfolders
latlng v1.0.0, Copyright 2017 Johann N. Loefflmann
Determines both latitude and longitude of a location.
The script uses the Google Maps web service.
Usage:
latlng [-c][-i] [location]
Options:
-c output as one line separated by a comma
-i input in interactive mode
Parameters:
location the location as a string
Examples:
latlng "Statue of Liberty"
determines lat and lng of the Statue of Liberty
latlng -ic
reads input from the user in order to determine lat and lng
lines v1.0.0, Copyright 2017 Johann N. Loefflmann
Extracts a block of lines from a textfile
Usage:
lines [-i] [-b number] [-e number] [-H number] [-T number]
[file [begin [end]]]
Options:
-b number If begin is a string and if it matches more than one line, you
can specify a particular match number.
-e number If end is a string and if it matches more than one line, you
can specify a particular match number.
-i Ignore case. Perform case insensitie matching. By default,
the search algorithm is case sensitive.
-H number A positive number cuts the head of the output.
A negative number extends the head of the output.
-T number A postivie number extends the tail of the output.
A negative number cuts the tail of the output.
Parameters:
file Specifies the textfile that needs to be processed.
If file is omitted, this usage will be printed.
begin Specifies the search string in order to find the "begin".
If begin is a string, it searches for the first occurence
in the file. If begin is an integer, it specifies a line
number (starting with 1).
end Specifies the search string in order to find the "end".
If end is a string, it searches for the first occurence
starting with the line that is specified by "begin".
If end is an integer, it specifies a line number
(starting with 1).
Examples:
lines log.txt 20 40
Prints line number 20 to line number 40 from the file called
log.txt
lines -T -1 verylong.log "^2017-08-06" "^2017-08-07"
Prints lines from the log file called verylong.log, starting
with the line that starts with "2017-08-06" and ending with
the line that starts with "2017-08-07", but not printing out
that last ending line
no options, no parameters. It just converts all .m3u8 files in the current
working directory to .mp4. It expects the latest ffmpeg binary in the script
dir. It exits if there is an error. In case of success, the .m3u8 will
be removed.
update_jdk v1.20.0, Copyright 2019-2020 Johann N. Loefflmann
Downloads the JRE/JDK from the web, extracts it and creates/updates a symlink
called <type>_latest.
The latest timezone database can be applied to the requested JRE/JDK as well
so that you have the most possible up to date JRE/JDK within a Java family
from your preferred source. And since the symlink always points to the
JRE/JDK you can update the JRE/JDK both fast and comfortable.
Both GNU/Linux and macOS are supported.
Usage:
update_jdk [ [-h] |
[-d] [-f] [-k] -s source [-t type] [-z] [-Z location] [path] ]
Options:
-d dry run. Don't download the JRE, JDK or tzupdater, just inform the
user.
-f force. Even if we have the JRE, JDK or tzupdater already, update it
again.
-h prints this help.
-k keep the downloaded .tar.gz resp. .zip, don't remove it at the end.
-s source. The URI should start with http or https and point to a
.tar.gz file that contains the JRE/JDK binaries. You can find
JRE/JDK tarballs for example at
- adoptopenjdk.net
- azul.com
- bell-sw.com/java
- java.com
- jdk.java.net
- www.oracle.com/java
-t type. The name of the symlink prefix, if not specified, jre is used.
-v version. Prints out the version of this script.
-z after the JRE or JDK has been downloaded and extracted, the
latest tzdata will be applied to the JRE or JDK.
The script expects the tzupdater.jar in the /Users/johann/IdeaProjects/bashberries/bin
-Z the timezone files if not from IANA.
Parameters:
path specifies the path where the JRE, JDK should be stored.
It will be created if it doesn't exist.
If omitted, .<type>/ will be used.
Examples:
./update_jdk -s "$ADDRESS"
downloads the JRE tarball from "$ADDRESS", extracts it, and updates
the JRE in ./jre/ and it creates a symlink called jre_latest there.
./update_jdk -s "$ADDRESS" -z myjres
updates the JRE in myjres and it updates the symlink called
jre_latest there. Additionally the timezone updater
is being called so that the JRE's timezone database also gets updated.
./update_jdk -s "$ADDRESS" -t jdk /opt/java/
updates the JDK in /opt/java/ and it updates a symlink
called jdk_latest there.
./update_jdk -z -s "$ADDRESS" -t openjdk11
downloads the JDK from "$ADDRESS",
applies the latest timezone database from IANA to the JDK by calling
the tzupdater tool. Symlink called openjdk11/openjdk11_latest
will point to the latest and updated OpenJDK11 build.
update_property v1.2.0, Copyright 2017,2018 Johann N. Loefflmann
Updates the value of a key/value pair in a property file.
The script saves existing comments and also the order of the properties.
Usage:
update_property [-d <delimiter>] [-e] [-f] [-q] [file key value]
Options:
-a keeps the existing value and appends the new value.
-d delimiter, delimits the key and the value.
If omitted the equal sign is assumed.
-e echo the updated line of the file.
-f force to append the key/value pair to the file even if the key is
not in the property file yet.
-p keeps the existing value and prepends the new value.
-q set quotes around the value when writing the value.
Parameters:
file specifies the file that needs to be updated.
key specifies the key in the property file.
value specifies the value for the key.
Examples:
update_property -f -q app.conf mykey "new value"
updates the key called "mykey" with the value called "new value"
with quotes around the value in the app.conf property file, and
creates the key/value pair if the key does not exist.
update_property -d ' ' -e /etc/openvpn/vpn.conf remote "my-server-1 1194"
updates the key called "remote" in the property file that has
a blank as the delimiter, it also echoes the modified line.
