Python script called clbash.py that embedds Bash statemensts inside of Python.

This was done with ZERO Object Oriented Programming, so relax you can do it!

Using skeleton code clbash.py:

For the command line tool/template, here is an example usage:

Usage: py4sa [option]

A unix toolbox powered by Python

Options:
  --version      show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -i, --ip       gets current IP Address
  -u, --usage    gets disk usage of homedir
  -v, --verbose  prints verbosely
[root@cent][H:2404][J:0]> ./clbash.py -i
10.0.1.2
[root@cent][H:2406][J:0]> ./clbash.py -i -v
IPADDR: 10.0.1.2
If you examine the source code, or just grep for #REPLACE ME, you will see a spot to customize code. Here is an example of uncommenting the lines under #REPLACE ME
