Script which can be used to automatically update your LOGIK Matchbox shader set. Save it in /home/ for example and add to /etc/crontab for automation. Example of my crontab entry, it updates the shaders every night: 30 2 * * * root sh /home/update-matchbox.sh >/home/update-matchbox.log

update-matchbox.sh

#Script to update your MATCHBOX LOGIK shaders.
#Change MBDIR & BACKUPFILENAME to your needs!
#Copy this into a yourscript.sh .. and sh yourscript.sh to execute .. or add to /etc/crontab to automate it..

HOST=$(hostname)
DATE=$(date +%y_%m_%d)

MBDIR="[YOUR-LOGIK-SHADER-LOCATION]"
BACKUPFILENAME="[/YOUR-BACKUP-FILE-LOCATION]/LOGIK-BACKUP-"$DATE".tar.gz"

# Some examples:
# MBDIR="/SLEDGEHAMMER/LIBRARY/_FLAME/MATCHBOX-PLUGINS/LOGIK_SHADERS"
# BACKUPFILENAME="/SLEDGEHAMMER/LIBRARY/_FLAME/MATCHBOX-PLUGINS/LOGIK-BACKUP-"$DATE".tar.gz"

echo starting backup of LogikMatchboxShaders process on $DATE at $HOST

tar -czvf $BACKUPFILENAME $MBDIR

echo Done!
echo Starting update Logik Shaders set!

curl http://logik-matchbook.org/MatchboxShaderCollection.tgz | tar xfz -; /bin/cp -fr shaders/* "$MBDIR"

echo Done! Now go and show off to your clients!

Cool stuff! Backup is not strictly necessary since you can always grab older shader versions from the site...
