Script Development Management

  • Chapter
Shell Scripting Recipes

Summary

There’s not a great deal to my system for managing script development, but it is enough to save a lot of work and worry. The most important part of it is cpsh, which takes care of installing and backing up my scripts. But isn’t something missing? For a long time I thought so: Where is the script to revert the installed copy to an earlier version?

For a long time I planned to write the reversh script, but finally came to the conclusion that it really wasn’t necessary. Being able to run the development version means that a bad script hardly ever gets installed. I’ve only had to use the backups two or three times in the years I’ve used this system.
