Binarymist

This is just a quick bash script I put together last night that performs a wget on your blog.
It should be self documenting, so should be pretty easy to follow.
You’ll just have to change three variables at the top of the file to suit your environment.

#! /bin/bash

# Update fetch_domain to the domain you wish to fetch the web content from.
readonly fetch_domain='binarymist.net'
# Update fetch_domain_files to the sub domain where your files are located.
readonly fetch_domain_files='binarymist.files.wordpress.com'
# Update wgetmonthly_dir to the local directory location you wish to save web content to.
readonly wgetmonthly_dir='/media/EXTERNAL/Documents/PenDrive/BinaryMist-Blog/WGetMonthly'
readonly help_message="Enter year and month that you want to wget from $fetch_domain in the following format: yyyy-mm

wget will fetch to the directory: ${wgetmonthly_dir}/yyyy-mm"

function print_blankline_then_message {
   echo
   echo "$1"
}

function usage {
   if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
      print_blankline_then_message "$1"
   fi
   print_blankline_then_message "$help_message"
   exit 1 #exit shell script
}

function check_if_help_required {
   if [ "$1" -eq 0 ]; then
      usage "No arguments detected."

}

   if [ "${#year_month}" -ne "$year_month_expected_length" ]; then
      usage "The length of the yyyy-mm should be $year_month_expected_length"
   fi

   readonly seperator='-'
   readonly seperator_index=4

   if test ${year_month:seperator_index:1} != $seperator; then
      usage "The seperating character '$seperator' should be the fifth character in the argument."

   if [ $year -eq $year -a $year -gt -1 > /dev/null ]; then
      echo > /dev/null
   else
   usage "The year \"${year}\" is not a positive number."
