Can anyone update this code?

@pickhardt or anyone -

Can we update or fork this? Fun tool, great as a virtual helper agent for Linux

Thanks in advance

I don't really look at this much but what pull request do you want? I can have a look and merge if it's simple.

If you have some ideas for what you want I could add you as a maintainer too.

How about answering simple questions about the linux environment it is in as a start?

• "How big is is this directory" -- Betty does a recursive add of the file sizes within the directory tree and provides an answer
• "Is there / Do I have any empty directories / folders" -- does a lookup and lists them, with a caveat to any related to the kernel like "tmp" that should likely not be deleted
• Who logged in last? -- does lslogins or "w" or the like and provides the result in english, "user" last logged in "yesterday / today / date" at "time"
• What is my biggest directory / folder? - uses du or ncdu or something to figure out this, then betty replies "The [directory] under [directory path] is the biggest, it has "x" number of files, "y" being the largest"
• What files were last updated <in this directory / folder>? Betty replies with the files (say 5 files) with the most recent modification dates either system wide or in the directory requested
• What is using the network? -- req sudo output then dumps the output of "$lsof -i |grep -I established"

A few suggestions -- betty could be a cool help tool for Linux, maybe

[pickhardt]

They sound cool. If you want to add them I can add you as a maintainer. I just don't really have the time to work on this these days.

Hmm, not at the moment - but if I do I'll let you know

@pickhardt - closing this off for now, but I'll swing back around if I have some development free time.... betty could be best 😄
