Tmux-text-macros: Emojis for your Tmux

Mon, 23 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Click to view the video. Did you ever want emojis in your terminal? Do you find yourself constantly writing the same text snippets?

With Tmux-text-macros you can easily save and recall these inside Tmux. Powered by fzf the search allows you to easily search macros by content or description. It comes with all emojis, box-drawing characters and block characters, as well as a few emoticons.

Now I can use all the emojis when writing this blog. 🐦🐻 🕴💀

Crontroll: A cronjob controller

Tue, 20 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Enabling and disabling cronjobs is so annoying and really hard to do from a script. That's why I wrote a small shell script called crontroll.

Examples

$ crontroll status updatedb
enabled: updatedb; 0 3 * * * updatedb

$ crontroll disable updatedb

$ crontroll status updatedb
disabled: updatedb; 0 3 * * * updatedb

$ crontroll enable updatedb

$ crontroll list
[x] apt-cron
[ ] at
[x] backup
[x] greg
[ ] mail
[x] tracking
[x] updatedb
[x] vdirsyncer

Setting up cronjobs

Instead of writing directly to your crontab file, create a file per cronjob in ~/.cron.

Example

~/.cron $ cat updatedb
0 3 * * * updatedb -U ~/drive

Then run crontroll reload to enable your new cronjob.
