Hello. For my final we have to come up with 3 useful scripts (common tasks, organizing files, games, etc.... ) i was wondering if anyone has any ideas that might be possible with bash, perl, sed, awk, grep?

Perhaps an organizer where you can keep names, phone numbers, addresses, e-mail address, any other information you want It should not be very hard to write.
I wrote something for pine not too long ago that would would tar and gzip its folders when pine was exited and then untar/ungzip the files when you went back into it. It was very useful on my shell because of limited space and huge quantities of mail. Again, should not be very hard to implement.
Basiclly think to yourself what you would find useful on a day to day basis and write something to do it.
