An error then causes you to exit the shell entirely (not what you want), and there are several constructs that cause warnings due to undefined variables (these can/probably should be fixd) Set #+begin_example export DEBUG=1 #+end_example to enable debugging output from the debug helper function. * The actual executable .bashrc ** Helper functions I define a few syslog-ish helper functions to print warnings, errors, etc. #+begin_src shell :tangle .bashrc :noweb no-export #PROG=`basename "$0" | tr -d '\n'` # normal setting PROG="bashrc" # setting for bashrc due to errors function info() { echo ${PROG}\: info: "$@" 1>&2; } function warn() { echo ${PROG}\: warning: "$@" 1>&2; } function error() { echo ${PROG}\: error: "$@" 1>&2; } function debug() { [[ -v DEBUG ]] && echo ${PROG}\: debug: "$@" 1>&2 || true ; } function die() { echo ${PROG}\: fatal: "$@" 1>&2 && exit 1; } #+end_src ** Set a reasonable default prompt Here I set a reasonable default prompt that includes timestamp, username, host and current directory: #+begin_src shell :tangle .bashrc :noweb no-export export PS1="\# [\t] \u@\h \W/ $ " #+end_src ** Misc aliases Define various aliases that I use #+begin_src shell :tangle .bashrc :noweb no-export alias rm=' rm -i' alias ag=' alias | grep -i' alias eg=' printenv | grep -i' alias hg=' history | grep -i' alias ht=' history | tail' alias fpg=' find . -print | egrep -i' alias egi=' egrep -i' alias psg=' /bin/ps -auxww | grep' alias p8=' ping -c 3 8.8.8.8' # make sure routing works alias pp=' ping -c 3 port111.com' # make sure dns and routing work alias locate='locate -r' #+end_src ** cd commands that use/print the directory stack These aliases support pushd/popd/dirs like functionality while listing one directory per line I like to keep a "stack" of directories so I can work on one thing then "pop" back to where I was. =pushd= an =popd= support this, and =dirs= lists the directories, but I prefer to have them listed one per line. #+begin_src shell :tangle .bashrc :noweb no-export function dirl() { # "DIR"ectory "L"ist directory stack, one per line # Usage: dirl for d in `dirs`; do echo $d; done } function dirc() { # "DIR"ectory "C"onnect - connect to directory and list stack # Usage: dirc [DIR pushd ${1:-"$HOME"} > /dev/null dirl } function dirp () { # "DIR"ectory "P"op - pop N entries off the directory stack # Usage: dirp [N] # # OLD: # alias dirp='popd > /dev/null && dirl' for i in `seq ${1:-"1"}`; do debug "dirl: popd. i is $i" popd > /dev/null; done dirl } alias cd=pushd #+end_src ** Misc functions #+begin_src shell :tangle .bashrc :noweb no-export function gf() { # grep-find: grep for patterins in files via find # # Usage: gf patterns [files [days]] # # Examples: # gf findMeAnywhere # gf findMeInTextFiles '*.txt' # gf findMeInTextFiles .txt # gf BEGIN\|END .org 30 local files="" local days="365" set -o noglob # First arg is pattern(s) for egrep if [ -z ${1+x} ]; then echo 'gf needs string(s) to search for ' 1>&2 info "Usage: gf patterns [files [days]]" return 1 fi # Second arg (if present) is files for find.
