Well, bash should show up quickly enough. But yeah.

I'm also no longer much of a bash guy. Back when I was my scripts were a lot simpler, and broke in weird ways a lot more. And every time I picked up a new defensive habit, my bash became a little bit uglier, and I thought to myself "maybe I should just do this in Python".

But this script would be a lot longer in Python.
