quick script to create new vhost I made a couple years ago when I started to use bash. This is a really basic script with lot of case who can break it. Feel free to comment

echo "Alors là, je suis assez fier de ce script qui :
- créé un vhost
- créé un user sftp pour qu'il ne puisse écrire que sur ce vhost :)
- m'envoie tout ça !

host $sitename
user $user
pass $pass
"|mail -s "$main_ndd:sftp - nouvel utilisateur $user" -t "$EMAILS"
# how to handle password ?
# passwd
# how to send all this informations :p

# enabling vhost
a2ensite $sitename

# reload apache :)
service apache2 reload

TODO :
1°
WGET=$(which wget)
WGET_OPTS='--truc -bidule'
2° vérifier que "service existe", ou faire /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
3° check $? (specially for a2ensite)
4° use ${VAR} instead of $VAR
5° EOF for vhost
6° more CONSTANTS
7° use functions insteads of echoes + --verbose + --quiet
8° check_rcode if cp or rm has error
9° rename to a2addvhost ?
10° getopt
11° source path/to/lib , define $lib_version , getopt, verbose, etc...
