Sometimes you write simple scripts or shell functions without sharing them, because you forget how important they are in your daily work.
During the last weeks, while I followed the FAI mailinglist, I saw, that some people do have problems doing simple Debian/Ubuntu SysAdmin tasks like setting up an Debian/Ubuntu archive mirror.
Therefore I catched up with my little helper scripts, and thought: Heck, let's make a small shell library from it and push it to the public.
So, during the next days/weeks I'll present some nifty helper scripts/helper functions which could make your life a bit easier.
This is also important, because (DC)² and FAI are needing some of those standard admin tasks to be done before you could even start with the automation of your OS Deployment in your datacenter.
Furthermore I'll invite you to share your nifty and tricky shell/perl/python/ruby scripts of your daily SysAdmin work.
