Hello together. I try to use a systemd path unit, to monitor a directory structure. But as of now, I was only successful for the top level directory. The unit should be triggered, if a new file is written to either the top level of the monitored directory and also, if there is a new file in any of its subdirectories. I don’t know how to do that. Any ideas?
Additionally, the triggered service unit should be delayed for some time. Background is, that I automatically upload sometimes more than one file in a batch. So I will give the script triggered by the service unit the chance, to wait until the upload of all files is finished, so that I can work with all the new files with one script call, instead of multiple calls for every file. Is that possible?
Since the script I’m talking about, makes some changes to the synced files, this is not a job for Resilio Sync. For the sync job itself, I’m using SFTP, because this is the easiest to setup on all clients/platforms. I’m only interested how I could safely dedect, if the sync is finished and start the script to do it’s job’s. The tip with the changing file is nice. I’m using that for now. Absolute reliable so far, for this task.
