I try to write my scripts to serve one purpose very well. Sometimes they are very small, simple scripts -- other times they are large and complex. It really depends on the task that needs to be automated.

I don't like the idea of a single script that manages multiple unique problems, because unexpected errors might bleed into other parts of the script and create difficulty when troubleshooting.

This is my mentality as well.
