Script to start vim with a random colorscheme

daihard · 05-12-2006, 01:35 AM

Hi.

I've just written a simple shell script that starts up vim/gvim with a (semi) randomly selected colorscheme. The scheme is chosen by a given number generated by "date +%s" (seconds since 1970-01-01). If under X, the script will invoke gvim; otherwise it will use vim.

I'd like to get your feedback on the script. Does the code look okay? Any room for improvement? Any bugs? Any comments are welcome.

Thansk!

Thanks for sharing

I'd say include something on the 'usage' of the script.
