Ressor_utility

The idea of this project is to make a file, compressor/decompressor, which automates file's (de)compression. Supported file extensions are tar, gz, bz2, and zip. When compressing files, the user is given the option to select preferred compression method or select a random compression method which is selected by the program itself. Also, the user is given the option of selecting how many times they want the file to be compressed. For example, a user can select tar compression method and 50 times of file compression. For decompressing files, the user is prompted to enter the name of the file to be decompressed and then process is automated. Then user is given the option to change the name of the file. At the end, user is given a summary showing number and time of (de)compressions and (de)compressed file name.

To run the program:

$ cd && git clone https://github.com/naa7/ressor_utility.git

$ cd ressor_utility/

$ chmod +x ressor_utility.sh && ./ressor_utility.sh

Optional

For easier use of the timer without the need to navigate to its directory and run the file,

copy ressor_utility.sh file to /usr/bin/ folder:

$ mv ressor_utility.sh ressor_utility    

$ sudo cp ressor_utility /usr/bin/

Now, you can either open it from terminal

$ ressor_utility
