Important Notes
single vs. double quotes: explained here. "...double quotes still allow expansion of variables within the quotes, and single quotes don’t."
Bash-Read First Line of File
Growl and Bash
Current Progress:
From an email I was writing to Natalie - which I eventually summarized / removed -
"I got MAJORLY distracted today (by arduinos) and did nothing for my bash script, but so far it keeps a text file mod-log of all the files in a specified directory. Everytime it's run, it will check the file's current "modified time," compare with the logged one, and increment a count in the log if the file has changed. Right now, it's tracking files separately. Down the road, I'll probably add settings so that you will be prompted to commit not just one but several of the most-changed files. Or maybe add a file-based vs. directory based tracking option. I thought about keeping old copies and doing diffs to rate the amount of change (so adding a single line doesn't appear the same as adding hundreds), but then I wouldn't need the mod log. I could just use the -nt newer than command. Maybe I could keep track of file length? Oooooooh, good idea! Confessional debugging from afar! Nice, thanks ;) "
Current Issues - Growl Notify (found in the Extras in the Growl SDK ) seems to work conditionally. Perhaps it has to do with priority of tasks or other programs using it. Also, I have to manually start it if I want to use it- a problem encountered and fixed somewhere already... must find again...
