Bash and PowerShell scripts for backups, file jobs and server chores, dry run first.

I write Bash and PowerShell scripts for the chores you do by hand: backups, file clean-ups, log checks and server tasks. Every script has a dry run, settings at the top and a log, so you can see what it will do before it does it.

What Dale delivers

  • A Bash or PowerShell script for one repeat chore: A commented script with a dry-run mode, settings at the top, logging and the steps to schedule it.
  • A fix for a script that fails or does the wrong thing: The cause from your error or output, the fixed script in full and a safe way to test it.
  • A command or script that pulls what you need from logs: grep, awk or PowerShell commands that find and count the lines you care about, tested on your sample lines.
  • An old script made safe to run twice: Your script rewritten with error handling, quoting, logging and checks so a rerun does no harm.
  • A check of a script before you run it: A line-by-line check for risky deletes, missing quotes, silent failures and hard-coded passwords, with fixes.
