⚙️ A collection of lightweight, practical Bash scripts for Linux system administration.
These tools are built to automate routine sysadmin tasks — including monitoring, reporting, archiving, cleanup, and more.
Each script is designed to be cron-friendly, minimal, and compatible with most major Linux distributions (CentOS, Arch, Debian-based systems, etc.).
This repository contains scripts aimed at simplifying day-to-day Linux system administration tasks.
These scripts:
- Require minimal dependencies (only standard Linux CLI tools)
- Work across multiple distros with adaptive logic
- Are easy to audit, edit, and plug into cron jobs
- Follow good practices for security and system compatibility
More scripts will be added over time.
git clone https://github.com/pro-yash-jects/lin_scritps.git
cd lin_scritpssudo ./script_name.sh🔐 Some scripts require root privileges or pre-setup (e.g., email configs).
chmod +x script_name.shMost scripts rely only on standard coreutils like:
awk,grep,find,cut,date, etc.
Some optional scripts may require:
msmtp+mailx(for sending email alerts)
Some scripts use config files (e.g., user-to-email mappings) that should be root-only readable:
sudo chmod 600 /etc/custom_config.confPasswords used with msmtp are encrypted using GPG and never stored in plaintext.
This repo may include scripts for:
- Notifying users about upcoming password expiries
- Archiving stale files
- Blocking suspicious login attempts
- System health checks
- Log parsing & reporting
Each script is self-contained and explained via inline comments.
