Linux System Administration Automation Project

A collection of robust, automated Bash scripts designed for Linux system administration, routine maintenance, system monitoring, and health checks.

🛠️ Included Scripts

1. User Audit Script (scripts/user_audit.sh)
   • Automatically inspects system account details and exports a structured user report to the logs directory.
2. Disk Usage Monitor (scripts/disk_monitor.sh)
   • Tracks available storage space across mounted partitions and generates real-time disk health diagnostics.
3. System Backup Tool (scripts/backup_system.sh)
   • Compresses and archives critical project files/directories into secure timestamped tarball backups (.tar.gz).
4. Network Connectivity Checker (scripts/network_check.sh)
   • Pings reliable external endpoints (like public DNS) to verify and log active network connectivity status.
