About

This is a set of small shell scripts used to simplify common tasks, such as:

• keeping Homebrew (Mac only)*, Python & Python Installed Packages (PIP), Perl & Ruby up-to-date
• decoding Amazon Kinesis data blocks
• keeping AWS SAML sessions active
• verifying the integrity of downloaded files

Instructions for each script are at the top of the file. Simply run each script without arguments - if arguments are required, a usage string will be printed to the console.

^{*Please Note: The BrewUpdate.sh script will attempt to update GUI programs managed via cask-upgrade as well as standard Homebrew packages. If running this via a cron job, the script will execute but will not update casks requiring a password. Ensure you allow cron to send you job summary emails - they will show these casks as 'OUTDATED'. Re-run the script by hand and supply the necessary password when required.}
