Share it!
We could all learn from what you've done.

Also,  learn shell,  not BASH.   If you need BASH-specific
functions or capability,  externalize those steps.   (I omit
the details of this for now.)   But remember in all cases,  shell is
a write-only language.   That is,  whatever you code in shell script
will be nigh unto impossible for others to read.   ;-)
