For what it's worth, I write my own custom scripts based on the commands in the book but with my own special ingredients. I'm sure jhalfs works as other people on the lists use it, but I don't know if it works for BLFS. When I first did lfs I copied and pasted the commands into a gnome-terminal. That worked well for LFS but for BLFS it was a hard slog typing at the command prompt until I'd compiled XFree86 and Firebird. It occurred to me that I could simply copy and paste the commands into a shell script and then run that with one command. However the problems with that are making sure it stops when an error occurs and that it logs everything into a file so that I can look back at what went wrong and Google for a solution. Working around those and other problems (eg how to automatically generate a new fstab for the new system?) became my way of learning to write scripts. It's a useful skill.
