No, this isn’t a new open source project. Instead, its my toolbox of useful scripts.

I spent half a day figuring out how to limit network traffic on my system to emulate a customer’s slow network link. After manually typing ipfw commands to turn on bandwidth limits and then turn them off, I decided to capture the sequence in a command script.

Having just updated this blog site to include a link to my github handle, the idea became crystal clear: put the script under git version control and share it with others on github.

The pros:

  • it provides online backup of my toolbox of scripts
  • it is easy to version the updates and distribute them to my other boxes
  • over time, these scripts can probably be enhanced to run on other platforms
  • you can partake of the benefits!
  • hopefully, in the future, I can partake of yours.
The cons: none that I can think of
I hope you find it useful.
