# Scripts module

The scripts module contains several small shell scripts which did not fit under any specific module.
Many of these modules are older and either 'legacy' in that they work but should be restructured at some point,
or perhaps not working at all anymore.

Some will work for others without needing changes, some are very personalized to me.

## benchmark

`benchmark` allows you to take the time another commands needs to run.
It will simply output the time taken, and can be run repeatedly or averaged to get more accurate readings.

## compile

`compile` is somewhat of a left-over script.
It should be refactored and moved into the `bibtex` module at some point.
It takes a filename and tries to invoke the corresponding compiler and is mainly used by my `pandoc` (or `rmarkdown`) workflow.
`open-compiled` is somewhat of a companion script which attempts to open the resulting file for the user.

## lockscreen

`lockscreen` does just that, invoke the i3 lock-screen program with some simple defaults and a color.


## nomie

`nomie` logs a simple journal entry in the open source habit-tracking app [nomie](https://nomie.app).
To do this it needs an api key, which is, as of now, hard-coded to be sourced from my pass app.
