quick image upload thing

quick image uploader

here are a couple text files i use to do things. the first one is called imgscp and this script takes an image and uploads it to my server.

#!/bin/sh

[ $# -lt 1 -a ! -f $1 ] && exit 1

THING=$1
SSHSTR="pompom"
BLAH=$(md5sum "${THING}" | awk '{ print $1 }')

if [ -f $THING ]; then
    scp "${THING}" "${SSHSTR}:scrots/${BLAH}.png"
fi

[ $? -ne 0 ] && (echo error && exit 1)

IMGURL="http://omgren.com/s/${BLAH}.png"

echo -n $IMGURL | xclip
echo -n $IMGURL | xclip -selection c
echo read $IMGURL into xclip
notify-send -t 500 "$IMGURL"
#browser "$IMGURL"

it needs to be fixed because right now it assumes everything is a png. but, i call that script from another script that basically just runs scrot -s and it is called grab.

#!/bin/sh

GRABDIR=/tmp
UPLOADSCRIPT=imgscp

COUNT=$(ls "${GRABDIR}"/screengrab-*.png 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
ID=$(echo $COUNT+1 | bc)

scrot -s "${GRABDIR}/screengrab-${ID}.png"

#[ $# -lt 1 ] && exit 0

echo -n hold on | xclip
$UPLOADSCRIPT "${GRABDIR}/screengrab-${ID}.png" 

i’ll add these to my bitbucket project called “pasta”.
