# shell_sequencer Shell script as wrapper for sequential tasks, such as complex server installations or recurring maintenance tasks. The sequence script (**seq**) containing different steps is separated from the sequence control (**sequencer.sh**). The seq just needs to "include" the sequencer.sh at the end. ## sequencer.sh Main sequencer script to be included at the end of a seq. ## seqs/ Contains sequences (seqs) for different tools, servers or occasions. Sequencer include working on sh and bash. [...] . /usr/local/bin/sequencer.sh see seqTemplateExample.sh (which can be generated when calling sequencer.sh directly) ## Installation recommendation To make all seqs avaialable to all user, follow the procedure below. Run folloing commands as root: ``` git clone https://winklerfamilie.eu/git/efelon/shell_sequencer.git /opt/sequencer ln -s /opt/sequencer/sequencer/sequencer.sh /usr/local/bin ln -s /opt/sequencer/seqs /opt ``` or use the simple bash installation script in the repository: ``` curl -L https://winklerfamilie.eu/git/efelon/shell_sequencer/raw/branch/master/install.sh | bash ``` ## Bash-completion The included optional bash-completion script `sqnall-completion.bash` provides aliases to all available sequences as well as completion for sequencer.sh options and steps (including aliases) individually for each sequence. The aliases have the prefix `sqn_` which stands for _sequence name_. After executing ``` source /opt/sequencer/sqnall-completion.bash ``` e.g. `/opt/sequencer/seqs/kodi.sh` can be started anyhere with `sqn_kodi` ### Automatic setup after login To automatically provide aliases and bash-completion after login, the following bash script needs to be executed once for each user separately: ``` source /opt/sequencer/installCompletion.sh ``` This sources the bash-completion script in the users .bashrc file.
