SCRIPTS

In this page there are a lot of usefull Bash and Python scripts that I wrote for myself but that you can use as you need (and at your risk :).
They are all available under GPLv3 terms.

srttranslator
A simple python script to automatically translate subtitles in srt format into other languages using BabelFish.


udpping
UDPPing is a great tool for network testing: basically is ping reimplemented in python to send UDP packets instead of ICMP packets.
It supports the most important ping options like -i to set the interval, -s to set the packet size, and -b to sent broadcast packets.
It also mimic the ping output format, so you should be very familiar with the way statistics are calculated and shown.
Since it sends UDP packets you need an echo service running on the receiver side that sends back your packets. For simplicity in the linked tar file is also included a simple receiver written in python.


digikammerger
Digikam is a great photo management tool that is also able to generate good looking html galleries very easily. The only problem is that it is not able to do that incrementally: the user is forced to regenerate all the html galleries every time he wants to add a new gallery. So waiting for this feature to be added to digikam you can overcome this problem using digikammerger.py: just export your new galleries to html in a temporary directory, this script will take care of merging them with your main html gallery.


IPChecker
This is a Python script that should be run on a server behind nat and\or configured with dhcp: it notifies you by email if the external or the internal ip address changes. It supports authentication and TLS to connect to the mail server.


Compare
This script is meant for Slackware and Slackware based systems (Zenwalk in particular).
It compares the installed packages with the packages on a slapt-get compatible repository (a PACKAGES.TXT file) looking for missing dependencies on your system.
For example if you have installed a package and that package is on the PACKAGES.TXT file, this script scans your system to see if also all the dependencies (as listed on the PACKAGES.TXT) are installed. If not it notifies the user.
Useful for system upgrades to understand which packages require new or a different set of libraries.
