Linux Automation Scripts

Overview

This project contains a comprehensive set of shell scripts designed for Linux system administration automation. The scripts cover a range of tasks including backup and restoration, cache and log cleanup, system resource monitoring, and automated updates and reboots. These scripts are intended to streamline server maintenance and management, improving efficiency and reliability.

Project Structure

The project is organized into the following directories:

linux_automation-project/ ├── backup/ │ ├── backup_files.sh │ └── restore_backup.sh ├── cleanup/ │ ├── clean_cache.sh │ └── clean_logs.sh ├── monitoring/ │ ├── disk_usage.sh │ └── resource_monitor.sh └── updates/ ├── auto_reboot.sh └── auto_update.sh

Scripts

Backup

• backup/backup_files.sh: Creates a compressed archive of specified files for backup purposes. It helps to secure important files and directories by storing them in a backup location with a timestamp.

• backup/restore_backup.sh: Restores files from a specified backup archive. This script ensures that you can recover your data by extracting files from a backup archive to a designated directory.

Cleanup

• cleanup/clean_cache.sh: Clears system cache to free up disk space. This script removes all files in the cache directories, which helps maintain system performance and free up valuable storage.

• cleanup/clean_logs.sh: Cleans up old log files to reclaim disk space. It truncates all .log files in the specified log directories to reduce clutter and manage disk usage.

Monitoring

• monitoring/disk_usage.sh: Displays disk usage statistics for all mounted filesystems. This script provides a summary of disk space usage, helping you monitor and manage disk resources effectively.

• monitoring/resource_monitor.sh: Monitors system resources by displaying CPU and memory usage. It provides a snapshot of current system resource usage, which is essential for performance monitoring and troubleshooting.

Updates

• updates/auto_reboot.sh: Automatically reboots the system after a specified delay. This script is useful for scheduling reboots, ensuring that updates or changes take effect without manual intervention.

• updates/auto_update.sh: Automates the process of updating system packages. It updates the package index and upgrades all installed packages to their latest versions, ensuring that your system is always up-to-date with the latest security patches and features.
