The pithy ruminations from Walt Mankowski on 
[[PLUG] Topic for tonight at PLUG North -- The Shoddy Script Shootout!] were:
=> At FOSSCON last August Jonathan Simpson gave a great lightning talk
=> called "Why You Should Publish Your Crappy Script" [1]. Last Thursday,
=> a talk, I suggested
=> 
=>   We could compare and contrast our crappy scripts.
=> 

Sounds like fun.

Here's some of what I was doing today:

	https://github.com/rmsppu/Random/blob/master/ipcs_report

Keywords that inspired today's script:  OMSA, nrpe, semaphores

That script is crappy because it's utterly lacking in usage documentation,
versioning, it uses temp files with hard-coded formats, and it's an ugly
mix of several text-processing utilities...Someday, In My Copious Free
Time, it should be re-written in perl.
