What things do you use scripting for?

Basically everything that takes longer then 2 minutes and is a repeated task.
For example (not all in Python):

  • Transferring Files from point A to point B for someone.
  • Grepping stuff out of a search
  • Validating files on a server after a deploy
  • Clearing folders
  • Running a certain file or scheduled Task
