Simple scripts for making isos and burning them on cd!
I am learning to write bash scripts and I made some simple scripts for newbies and gurus alike for making and burning isos onto cds.
You will need cdr-tools installed and please put them in /usr/local/bin on your hard drive for all users to use: Get them here: http://freebsd.turbocharging.net/subdir/scripts.html Comments and suggestions are welcome, Thanks! |
Hi, jlturbos;
I just d/l'd your scripts. Do I save these as .sh or .txt? Will let you know about them as soon as I use them. TYVM for the help. |
Files in Linux need no extension. Linux determines what file type a file is simply by looking at the contents of a file. Hence the "#!/bin/bash" at the start of the script.
the ".sh" ext. is good for you in order to recognize the script, so go ahead and add that if you like. I recommend logging in as root and place them in /usr/local/bin like this: # su <your_passwd> # mv ./iso-* /usr/local/bin # chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/iso-*" # exit If you wish to burn cd's as regular user do a: # which cdrecord /usr/local/bin/cdrecord # chmod +s /usr/local/bin/cdrecord JL |
ISO? Bah, I write my cd's using a dd'ed reiserfs partition. :p
Although its kind of sad you can't use "mkreiserfs" to convert a directory into raw input file like "mkisofs". :( Uh, do you mind having these scripts in ncurses? Then you could include a general newbie mounting guide! That also interprets /etc/fstab as well, or perhaps read comments to differentiate. It would save my non very command line friendly sibling a lot of trouble. |
