This repository is intended for small scripts and utilities that do not fit anywhere else. Scripts marked with † are not in active use and maintenance.
Python scripts reside in python submodules in tv_systools. All other scripts live in scripts. The easiest way to install everything is probably using pipx or uv tools:
pipx install git+https://github.com/thvitt/systoolsoruv tools install git+https://github.com/thvitt/systools

Expects multiplex configuration like the following in ~/.ssh/config:
Host *
ControlPath ~/.ssh/control-%r@%h:%p
ControlMaster auto
ControlPersist 30s
In certain circumstances (suspend etc.), these connections may become stale, causing all future ssh connections to the relevant hosts to hang. This command simply looks for the control files and asks ssh to exit the connections. I run this on every resume via a systemd user service:
