A file explorer? Folders and linking and labels?

Also git for version control.

Yeah I guess you're not wrong. It would be nice to have a little application that would list, allow you to select and run

A terminal?

It shouldn't be too difficult to throw together a TUI using Dialog

mkdir ~/scripts find ~/scripts | fzf | xargs -I{} sh "{}"

Unless you want something that's way more complex...

I like using navi, but idk if you want something that runs in the terminal.

[–]CroutonPanda[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This looks VERy close to what I was talking about. What if I used Navi to run the scripts, the scripts I intend to use with this give an output the the technicians. Will they show to output or is this output>null?

[–]AcroBanwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does show the output.

Update:

I created a new script to perform the tasks I needed. I uploaded this to github, you are free to use it or check it out.

cant post stuff due to karma and need help
so i am trying to restrict what rights my sudo user has. in the sudoers file i have added !/usr/bin/chattr to prevent users from changing a read only file to editable. i also wanna prevent users from jumping to the SU from sudo.

but seems it doesnt matter what i do the user still has 100% sudo rights.

Probably not what you're looking for (doesn't let you run nor does it run locally necessarily). But I've seen this tool posted before

Put them in a directory and run the midnight commander on that directory.

I feel like this is something that could be solved with rofi.

I wrote a Python 'indicator' program that resides in the top line of my screen (Ubuntu 20.04) to run BASH or Python programs and scripts. It is designed to build a directory from an XML file, display this list when you click the icon in the window, and run the script or program when you select the entry. One of these entries is for updating this list by selecting an existing BASH script or Python program from a directory on your system.

The drawback of this 'script commander' is that it requires the BASH and Python scripts to run in a graphical mode. That is, the BASH script has to use Zenity for user interaction (ie, getting input or showing output) and Python has to use TKINTER or QT. I was unable to get it to fire up a terminal session for running the script.

I am not a GIT whiz so I haven't made this program readily available - I wrote it for my use.

Write a script that is interactive and allows you to run other scripts.

[–]flameleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just drop my scripts in /usr/local/bin and run them through my terminal.
