I Automated My MSP With 64 Bash Scripts. Here's the Full Library — Free.
Free MSP script library launch — 64 automation scripts giveaway
Categories of scripts. Here's what that actually involved.
The Setup
Install/deploy
What I Built
Categories of scripts
Categories of scripts. This is where most implementations go wrong — not in the concept, but in the specifics that documentation tends to gloss over. The version that's actually running in production looks different from what the README describes.

What Broke First
Why free. This is the part that took the most time to figure out — not the implementation itself, but the failure mode you only encounter at the wrong moment. The fix is in the tooling, not the concept.
What's Running in Production
The stack: msp, automation, bash, scripts. Monitoring via Zabbix with a custom alert template. The rule I apply to everything in production: if it can't self-report a failure, it doesn't go in.
Key Takeaways
- Categories — categories of scripts
- Install/deploy — install/deploy
- Monitoring — monitoring
