This is to those on the -www list; the issue is having a separate page or two of /bin/sh scripts that do X, Y, Z. I realize the time involved if hundreds of shell hackers submit their favorite scripts. But if it sounds worth trying, there could be a scripts index.php|html page with a few categories to start. Each script must be submitted with: CATEGORY: system admin FUNCTION: backup [using tar and bzip] files. FEATURES: optional use of --exclude etc. A shell or perl script could probably strip the mail and convert it to web-ready format. Having many (*proven*) scripts would be a major++ for sysadmins. At least. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox.
