Poor bash has had a bad week. I happened to spend some time last night playing with a bash script for controlling btsync running as as its own user. It was fun! See, bash isn't big and scary, its a cute little scripting language (lol).

I thought I'd share these instructions for setting up my script and btsync itself. If you're not familiar with BitTorrent Sync, its a decentralized file sharing network. So there's no costs, no limits, and no middle-man. I think its pretty cool and I'd love to see it catch on as an alternative to the "trust model" of storing your data on a company's servers.

Anyway I hope this how-to is useful to somebody. Cheers
