Some other nit-picks about this script. - Everything here is done as root. For the day that you want to build with lesser privilege, do this: BLDUSER=~root - That will be difficult for you, because you are moving the projects to /usr/local/bin; for the day that you stop running as root, make a subdirectory "/usr/local/bin/$BLDUSER" (owned by the namesake account) and move the projects there instead. - Very minor nitpick, use <<- and prefix tabs on the here document to make it slightly easier to read. - Slight improvement, so this can print more than one argument: println() { y= for x do printf %s%s "$y" "$x" y=' ' done >> /root/gocicd.log echo >> /root/gocicd.log # for the newline }
