itch9624127yI know how to write shell scripts. But never used them except for once when i had my OS exam.
I just don't know what to automate.... -
Seag3227yHow about you manually program your $PS1 variable with bash modules, then add a thumbs up icon if your most recent command returned successful, or a thumbs down (or a poop emoji haha) if it returned unsuccessful. That was a scripting assignment I had which was kinda fun.
Or maybe program your own calculator and make the GUI with Perl and Tk. -
