A set of recipes for automating Linux tasks.

Because we were built to do greater things!!

To-do

1. Memory hogging task killer.

   So a bunch of tasks opens up in the background and if left for a while starts to Memory read a lot and makes my PC slower.

   Aim is to kill them automatically after they cross a threshold. I will customize it so that it can be easier to modify too.

   PS: I was killing them manually for a month now in the task manager every time I boot my PC.

2. Working IP switcher.

   Everytime our college LAN goes down, all our frustated engineers starts to panic even more.

   Aim is to switch to a working IP or check real fast and tell them that it's actually gone.
