scripts

Some useful scripts I've written along the way.

backup.sh

A wrapper around rsync with some useful options set. It requires you to set three environment variables. I do it in my shell profile, but you can do so anywhere:

• BACKUP_EXCLUDE file containing patterns (one per line) to exclude
• BACKUP_SOURCE directory to back up
• BACKUP_DESTINATION desired backup location

remote_transmission_upload.py

A Python 3 script that uploads all .torrent files in a directory (~/Downloads by default) to a Transmission server. Depends on the following packages, all of which can be installed with pip3:

• blessings
• path.py
• send2trash
• transmissionrpc

Run the script with --help to see the available options.
