Don't just script because you can. such as don't rewrite the way a screenshot is taken scrot has that down pat. the way I think of scripting is that you should script when you have a long drawn out process of stuff to do and you don't want to sit and do it yourself good example is renaming a bunch of files, everybody has there experiance with this nonsese. or how about ripping a CD. i know what your saying "but Kaleb that has an equivalent app" I know but in this case the app may not do you justice in the means of quality or the naming sequence for the tracks. anyways great article owen and I'm out. ahh Owen once again you make me laugh sometimes you write the best articles. one thing i have to say about this subject, keep in mind I love scripting as well and don’t bash it in any way (no pun intended), is that maybe you should not script something that already has a equivalent program (don’t do what has been done already).
